Mission and Objectives

The Biopolitics International Organisation (B.I.O.) was founded by Professor Agni Vlavianos Arvanitis out of the urgent need to raise awareness of environmental problems, and to accelerate the implementation of new and more effective approaches to safeguarding the earth for the generations to come.
The term “biopolitics” was created out of love for biology and the belief that bios – life – is a link that unites all people. With friends and representatives in 165 countries around the world, B.I.O. has been one of the fastest growing environmental organizations. Focusing on the development of international policy – biopolicy – to guarantee global environmental harmony and just economic growth, B.I.O. has dedicated a major portion of its work to the promotion of the fundamental human right to live in a clean environment.
Furthermore, in strong belief that education holds the key to our future, B.I.O. has launched a pioneer environmental education program, beyond the confines of conventional environmental science, with the aim of achieving environmentally-literate global citizens. Within this framework, respect for the environment and all forms of life becomes the major component of every academic and professional initiative.
The International University for the Bio-Environment (I.U.B.E.), an international Environmental Olympics campaign, a long list of publications on global environmental policy issues, as well as a series of educational programs, conferences and special events have, over the past thirty years, defined the Biopolitics International Organisation. It is our hope that, as you get to know us through these pages, you too will chose to join us in our effort to make this world a better place for the future.
