CEEweb's Point of View

The mission of CEEweb is the conservation of the biodiversity through the promotion of sustainable development, which however requires better policy- and decision-making on various levels that respects the principles of sustainability. For this aim CEEweb takes part in various policy- and decision-making processes and elaborates assessments, position papers, and recommendations on its own or in cooperation with other organisations. These documents target governmental organisations forming policies and making decisions, as well as other non-governmental and private stakeholders in order to share experiences, ideas and to develop common positions for a sustainable society.

Please read more about the standpoint of CEEweb on different topics below. CEEweb Policy Office and its member organisations compiled the assessments, positions and reports, or joined the positions of other organisations or networks' in order to achieve better results with common NGO action.
