Green NGOs: A Programme for Sustainable Development for the European Union

March 29, 2006

Proposals from environmental organisations for a realistic and ambitious Sustainable Development Strategy to be adopted by the June 2006 European Summit. Including comments on the review of the Strategy presented by the European Commission on December 13, 2005.

This document has been produced by ten organisations which cooperate with their Brussels offices at European level on EU environmental policies: the Green 10” – or “G10”.

All Green 10 organisations have their roots in national and regional organisations in Member States as well as Accession Countries.

With this document, the G10 organisations wish to inspire decision-makers, civil society and ultimately the European Council to work towards a more ambitious and more effective European Sustainable Development Strategy.

This document refers to the review of the Strategy presented by the European Commission on December 13, 2005, including the annexes in the ‘Commission working document’.
