内容简介:
【组织简介】 Pesticide Action Network (PAN) is a network of over 600 participating nongovernmental organizations, institutions and individuals in over 60 countries working to replace the use of hazardous pesticides with ecologically sound alternatives. Its projects and campaigns are coordinated by five autonomous Regional Centers.
Concerned and opposed to the irrational spread and use of pesticides, a group of representatives from various citizen's groups across the globe came together in Penang for a meeting in 1982 under the auspices of the International Organization of Consumers Unions (IOCU). A major outcome from that meeting was the formation of a global coalition of groups and individuals calling themselves the Pesticide Action Network (PAN). Presently, the PAN International network is coordinated through five regional coordinating centres composed of the following:
Africa: PAN Centre Regional Pour L'Afrique in Senegal Asia and the Pacific: PAN AP in Penang, Malaysia Europe: PAN UK in London, England and PAN Germany in Hamburg, Germany Latin America: RAAA in Lima, Peru North America: PAN North America in San Francisco, U.S.A
