The foundation aims to build a community of environmentalleaders and to promote dialogue among all disciplines of environmental policies on a global level.

Therefore, the EEF convenes winners of renowned international environmental awards to allow them to share and exchange experience,ideas and innovative solutions for the world's most pressing challenges. It furthermore reaches out to NGOs, associations, businesses and other stakeholders in the field of environmental and climate protection. Throughthis, the foundation aims to give incentives to initiate a politically supportive,confidence-building, collaborative, and research-stimulating exchange.

The main projects of the EEF are the “International Convention ofEnvironmental Laureates – ICEL”, held annually since 2012 in Freiburg,Germany and the Online Platform EnviroNetwork.eu which was establishedin 2015 as a virtual meeting point for environmental laureates and otherpeople working and caring for the environment.

Under the umbrella of the EEF the environmental laureates adaptedseveral declarations addressing current pressing problems, including theRio+20 Declaration (2012), the Appeal to the world's foundations and philanthropists by the world's environmental prize winners (2014) or theLaureates Call to end repression against environmental defenders (2017).
