The Jewish Ecological Coalition Inc. (JECO) is a not-for-profit organization, founded in Melbourne in July 2003 by members of the Leo Baeck Centre for Progressive Judaism and the B'nai B'rith Environment Group, in cooperation with the Jewish National Fund (Victorian Division).

JECO seeks to raise awareness about environmental issues, to actively promote ecological sustainability, and to emphasise and deepen Jewish commitment to the environment.

JECO's objectives are:
  • To encourage individuals to "tread lightly on the earth".
  • To build bridges of mutual cooperation within the Jewish community and between the Jewish and wider communities by working together for ecological sustainability.
  • To leave the environment in a better state for future generations.
