What we do
We create synergies for sustainable development
GeoMedia offers expert advice on global environmental protection, sustainable development and international cooperation. In implementation, we foster collaboration processes among state, private sector and civil society actors at local, national and international level, and support programme and financial planning. We conceptualise and organise multi-stakeholder processes and dialogues, support equitable value chain development, manage virtual platforms, and develop communication strategies. In complement to this and more we offer a wide array of media products – from simple flyers to complex films.
