中国环境意识项目www.chinaceap.org 　　　

挑战
中国过去几十年的快速发展尽管大幅削减了贫困，却对国家的环境状况和自然资源造成了严重冲击。公众环境意识和信息的缺乏以及对环境保护的忽视进一步导致了土地、水和空气质量的恶化。人民日报2002 年的网络调查显示，公众对环境问题的关注列在其它许多社会问题之后而仅排名第十。2005 年开展的一项全国环境意识调查显示，曾经积极参与过环保行动的公众不超过我国人口的20％。环境恶化对健康、民生和可持续发展产生严重的影响，而此方面的公众意识仍然十分淡薄。

应对

　　中国环境意识项目的主要目标是传播环境知识，传播环境知识、提高公众环境意识并将其转化为公众保护环境的行为。中国环境意识项目将在全国和各地区针对青年人、城市和农村居民及社区举办一系列有影响的宣传活动， 并将以公益广告、电影、电视节目、纪录片、演出和环保亲善大使的形式，通过电视、平面媒体、广播、网络和手机短信向公众普及环保知识。

　　 结合这些环保宣传活动，中国环境意识项目还会在政策层面与政府机构合作，以开发促进环境保护的政策制定和执行的活动。 为此，该项目将会制定一个全国性的活动规划，从而提高在环境决策方面的信息获取、参与和补救的能力。除此之外，该项目将借鉴并结合以往由政府、捐助者和公民社会发起的国际和国内成功的宣传活动，同时探索新的措施和方法并将其用于自身的活动中。

　　 此项目的合作伙伴包括联合国开发计划署、环境保护部和商务部中国国际经济技术交流中心。项目承办单位为环境保护部宣传教育中心。赞助单位为挪威政府和安赛乐米塔尔。该项目文件已于2006年6月签署生效。项目办公室设在宣教中心。

活动计划

　　 2007 年春全国性大型宣传活动正式启动，并结合电视节目、亲善大使、公益广告、纪录片等其他形式宣传。围绕如2008 年北京奥运会等重大事件展开地区性宣传活动，可能的主题还包括东南部地区的可持续消费问题以及西部和北部地区的生态脆弱问题。

　　 建立活动资源中心，提供有关的技术指导、知识和资料，从而帮助地方组织设计和开展创新的提高环境意识的系列活动。

项目开始时间：2006 年6 月
