In 1997, the Sabah State Cabinet approved the formation of Environmental Action Centre Sabah, (EAC) a smart partnership between the Government and the People to work together towards a healthier, safer, cleaner and greener environment of Sabah.

Mission

Bringing people together to care for the environment.

 Objective

To initiate a joint responsibility between the government and the people to carry out environmental activities that can contribute towards enhancing environmental quality.

 Role & Strategies

EAC is devoted to protecting the environment, where actions are taken to effect change by spreading awareness, holding educational events, and celebrating the various designated-environment days through a series of green activities such as organising seminars and exhibitions. We educate community through public demonstrations, environmental talks and
demonstration. It is EAC’s goal to implement environmental awareness into the every day decision making of the target groups that are being addressed.

EAC must be committed to stewardship of the environment. Thus, the need to respect our environment, reduce our consumption and recycle to ensure that the natural resources we treasure are preserved and sustained for the future.
