On June 16th 1986, Bellona was formed as a non-profit foundation. Formally, we are named the Environmental Foundation Bellona, but usually Bellona is sufficient. At the end of the 1980s we became well known first and foremost through spectacular actions against Norwegian industrial companies with more or less significant cases of environmental contamination on their conscience. Since then, we have taken on a more international focus, particularly through our work on nuclear contamination in Russia, and we have put a stronger focus on analyses and on the obtaining of facts.
Norsk seksjon av Internasjonal Kvinneliga for Fred og Frihet (IKFF) er en del av Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). IKFF skal samle norske kvinner med ulike politiske og ideologiske oppfatninger for å arbeide med, gjøre kjent, og bidra til å avskaffe politiske, sosiale, økonomiske og psykologiske årsaker til krig, og for å arbeide for en konstruktiv fred i et økologisk bærekraftig samfunn.
