DEVCO Environment Week 2017
DEVCO Environment Week 2017 took place from 6-10 February 2017 in Brussels. The week comprised two seminars:
1. Thematic Seminar on Environment – “Implementing the Environmental Dimension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” (6-8 February)
2. Thematic Seminar – "Conservation, Development and Security: Implementing the external dimension of EU biodiversity policies" (9-10 February)
Seminar 1 aimed to inform staff in EU Delegations and the European Commission about key environment related issues and recent policy developments, and promote information exchange on related topics, tools and services for EU development cooperation. It covered environment, biodiversity, wildlife and ecosystems, forests, land and green economy, and was designed for staff (programme officers, focal points, team leaders) in EU delegations and Commission headquarters working on these and related issues; and staff in other sectors to assist them with mainstreaming environment into their work.
Seminar 2 aimed to strengthen collaboration between EC headquarters, Member States, EU Delegations and key experts on wildlife issues. It discussed policy and implementation of key conservation and development issues including the EU’s continental strategic approaches to wildlife conservation, the external dimension of the EU Action Plan against Wildlife Trafficking, engaging with communities to enhance biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, and the wildlife conservation-security nexus.
