Student communiqué - key issues for effective environmental governance in Eastern Europe
In this final session, we will imagine that a group of environmental ministers representing Eastern European countries recognize that they need to reconfigure environmental governance in the region and embrace a wider range of actors and mechanisms. They have asked us to prepare a 10 point communiqué on the key issues they should be considering during the next 5 years.
