ECOs Archive

ECOs are newspapers published by the NGO  community during important international environmental meetings.  ECOs offer a unique perspective on the events of these meetings and provide a strong voice for environmental protection.  ASOC has been part of this community and has attended Antarctic meetings since 1978, and is pleased to make its collection of ECOs available to the public.  ECOs have been arranged by date, meeting, and topic to aid in browsing.  We hope that these ECOs will give insight into the development of international Antarctic environmental policy and treaties.
