The Interdiocesan Environment Commission came into being by the Decree of the 23rd August 2003, after the Diocesan Synod Document “Culture-Society-Church” suggested the setting up of an Environment Commission within the Pastoral Secretariat. Its aim is that of creating awareness and a sense of responsibility related to the ethics of safeguarding the environment, defining the policy/rules that guide those responsible in the Church in environmental issues, and offer technical and scientific support to Church Authorities in specific matters related to the environment.
Whilst giving its support in many ways and collaborating in the organisation of various events, the Commission is the main sponsor for the educational courses organised by Inteko.
