Friends of the Earth Middle East (EcoPeace) - 2009 Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship

Recognizing that environmental issues know no political boundaries, Israeli Gidon Bromberg and Jordanian Munqeth Mehyar co-founded EcoPeace in 1994 to promote cooperation in protecting the regions shared water resources and environmental heritage. Palestinian Nader Khateeb joined EcoPeace in 2001. By turning an area of conflict water into a platform for on-the-ground cooperation, EcoPeace is able to promote problem solving through people-to-people contact, advancing regional development and creating necessary conditions for lasting peace. The Good Water Neighbors community project and programs to rehabilitate the Lower Jordan River are leading examples of cross-border initiatives that have fostered collaboration and increased awareness of common interests.
