Life International Foundation for Ecology was established in 1995 in Karlstad, Sweden and has since grown into a global actor working for sustainable development.

The key focus areas and expertise of LIFE is in the field of Sustainable Development and they have long experience of working in areas including Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Pedagogy, Environmental- and Project Management.

During the last 5 years they have also focused on development in the educational sector and have developed certification for schools that want to improve their work with sustainability. They have also, as one of the first organizations in the world, developed a training in Sustainable Project Management that gives practical tools for how to implement sustainability in projects.

In some of the selected countries, they are establishing "hubs" where education and communication can be carried out locally on a larger scale. All participants in their programs, who are part of their network, are decision makers in their organizations and their knowledge and contacts are the basis for the activities that are built locally in their countries.
