Crete – June 2025

The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is delighted to announce the successful conclusion of its General Assembly held in Crete. Representatives from FEE member organisations around the world gathered to reflect, discuss, and plan for the future of one of the world’s largest environmental education networks.

A highlight of the Assembly was the election of a new FEE Board, including the confirmation of a new President. We are honoured to welcome Nikos Petrou as the new President of FEE. Nikos brings a wealth of experience in environmental leadership and a deep commitment to FEE’s mission. We look forward to his guidance in shaping the next chapter of our work.

At the same time, we extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Lesley Jones, who has served with extraordinary dedication as FEE President for the past nine years. Her leadership has been marked by integrity, vision, and an unwavering belief in the power of education to drive environmental change. Lesley’s legacy will continue to inspire the FEE community for years to come.

The General Assembly also served as a platform for important strategic discussions. Members engaged in lively and constructive dialogue on programme innovation, governance, climate education, and the global relevance of FEE’s work. These conversations reaffirmed the strength and solidarity of our network, as well as our shared commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

FEE warmly thanks our Greek hosts and FEE member organisation, Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature (HSPN) for their gracious hospitality and all participants for their active contributions. The energy, insight, and collaboration on display have set a powerful tone for the work ahead.

We congratulate the newly elected Board and extend a very warm welcome to President Nikos Petrou as we continue building a more sustainable and equitable world together.
