Governments, intergovernmental organisations and civil society representatives gathered in Strasbourg for the third meeting of the Multidisciplinary Group on the Environment (GME) from 11 to 13 February 2025.
The GME pursued examination of the draft Council of Europe Strategy on the Environment and discussed relevant developments in the Council of Europe and beyond.
The Strategy is expected to be adopted at the 134th session of the Committee of Ministers in Luxembourg in May. It will establish priorities for the Council of Europe to better guide and support action by its member States to ensure a future in which human beings fully enjoy their human rights and live in a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.
The GME was established as part of the Reykjavík Process launched by the 4th Summit of Heads of State and Government, which committed the Organisation to strengthening the work of the Council of Europe in the field of the environment, making it a visible priority.
