27th EEAC Annual Conference, Lisbon

The European Environment and Sustainable Development Advisory Council (EEAC) is a network of advisory bodies and a reconciliation forum for environmental protection and sustainable development councils operating in various European countries. These reconciliation bodies offer independent advice and play a pivotal role in ensuring that national sustainable development and environmental strategies are based on social dialogue and are in line with the latest scientific results.

A united front and overall support of the various layers of society are essential in order to generate a systemic restructuring. Through partnerships we achieve more: more impact, greater sustainability, increased value to all. Partnerships are an essential element of meeting the UN SDGs by 2030.

This is why, at the 27th EEAC Annual Conference partnerships for sustainable development (SDG 17) will be the main lens through which we will engage with challenges such as the energy transition, fresh water, and the preservation and sustainable use of our seas and oceans.

To a large extent Sustainable Development Goals 6 (Water), 7 (Energy) and 14 (Oceans) address regional and global issues that are crucial to achieving well-being and economic prosperity for EU citizens. We face multiple and complex challenges with regard to water, energy and oceans, not only in the European Union and its Member States but globally. It is for this reason that the National Council on the Environment and for Sustainable Development in Portugal (CNADS) has put SGD 6(Water), 7(Energy) and 14(Oceans) at center stage for the 27th EEAC Annual Conference.

The Conference intends to produce recommendations on current EU policies regarding the water, energy and ocean sectors and their future development. By doing so, Councils and their partners hope to provide the newly elected members of the European Commission and the European Parliament with tangible analyses and solutions at a timely moment, right at the start of their mandate.

NFFT (NCSD), as a member of EEAC, shall be represented at the conference by a delegation consisting of Mr Gábor Bartus, NFFT’s secretary-general, Mr Zsombor Barta, co-chairman of EEAC WGSD, and Mr Gábor Náray-Szabó, NFFT’s co-chair.
