DEVCO Environment Week 2018
The DEVCO Environment Week 2018 was successfully carried out and served to strengthen the capacity of the staff in EU delegations and headquarters to promote environmental sustainability through policy dialogue, programming and investments.
At the time the European Commission is putting forward its proposals for the next Multiannual Financial Framework and putting in motion the new External Investment Plan, the Week has provided an opportunity to discuss how to effectively mainstream environment in future programming and investments on water, biodiversity, wildlife and ecosystems, forests, sustainable land management, green economy and pollution.
