Climate change
While the SDO is working on different fields of sustainability,
it is giving much focus to climate change policies. It is closely
following the negotiations in the framework of the United
Nations and aims at introducing a civil society dimension to
the debate. It works on how to achieve the EUs climate
change targets in a cost-efficient and effective way and on
how to prepare for unavoidable climate changes within
Europe. The SDO also contributes to awareness-raising on
climate change through workshops and conferences.

Sustainable Development can be everything or nothing! The SDO
takes on this challenge and tries to identify the sustainability
aspects in each policy area. One part of our job is to ensure that the
EESC sends out a coherent message throughout all of its opinions
a sustainable one!
