International Environmental Policy

Due to the division of powers among different authorities in the environmental field, dialogue is vital to ensure that our country speaks with a single voice in the international arena.

The Coordination Committee for International Environmental Policy, or CCIEP, was set up in 1995 to meet this need. It is the result of a cooperation agreement on international environmental policy between the Federal State, the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region. On a day-to-day basis, it is steered by the DG Environment at the FPS.

The CCIEP enables Belgium to put forward concerted views on environmental matters within numerous international organisations and bodies.
