Sustainable Development Observatory

The Sustainable Development Observatory, set in 2006, is made up of 33 members from a wide range of interest groups, with expertise in all areas of our work, responds to the need for a coherent approach to sustainable development, including social, environmental and economic dimensions through hearings, conferences, exchange of best practice, local workshops and actions and impact studies. It is the only body in the European institutions dedicated exclusively to promoting sustainable policies across all sectors. The Sustainable Development Observatory has as a goal for this mandate to pay particular attention to the civil society role in climate action, building coalitions with stakeholders, in particular the territorial authorities, mainstreaming climate considerations into all EU policies and promoting the transition towards a low carbon economy based on inter alia renewable energies and sustainable agriculture.
