The Environment for Europe Process
The Environment for Europe process involves the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
The process began in Dobr�s in 1991 and the participating Environment Minsters met again in Lucerne in 1993 when the Environmental Action Plan for Central and Eastern Europe was agreed. In 1995 the Ministers met in Sofia where the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy was ratified. Most recently they met in Arhus, Denmark on 23-25 June 1998. (See Links).
Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy
The PEBLDS was developed by the European Center for Nature Conservation (ECNC) with the co-operation of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) and the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP).
