History of EEMP
In 1997, the Environmental Education Media Project (then known as the Environmental Education Television
Project for China) began bringing
Television Trust for the Environment
(TVE) films to China.
This involved arranging copyrights, logistics, translation, dubbing, and finally distribution for
broadcast and beyond. The EETPC was also involved in production of various TVE films for broadcast on BBC.
An Introduction to EEMP
EEMP is a non-profit organization. Its mission includes producing as
well as delivering environmental education materials to Asian countries. EEMP aims to raise the level
of public awareness and appreciation of global and local environmental issues.
It is committed to environmental education and increasing awareness among masses on the issues of
environmental protection and sustainable resource use. It is also directed at getting as much information
as quickly as possible into the hands of those groups and organizations that can use it to increase
public awareness and promote more sustainable approaches to development of mankind, thus preserving our
planet for future generations.

Our Methodology
The EEMP considers itself as a catalyst in transferring information. Information centers are like
building pipeline systems. Once in place they can be used for more than only environmental information--for
example, for public health education projects.
Initial transfer of information into a permanent collection of materials will go on for years to come
and can conveniently be tailored to the information needs. The EEMP has a methodology proven to transfer
information into cultures rapidly. In the long run, it may prove to be one of the most efficient ways.
The EEMP projects' successes in China and Mongolia give a clear indication. The EEMP methodology to build
the China CESDRRC Centre,
the China HIV/AIDS Information Network (CHAIN),
and the Mongolia Video Duplication
Project has proven itself and has been widely accepted by EEMP funding partners. With the PIINTEC
Environmental Information Media Center, the EEMP has started a project in the DPR Korea.
