37th Session of the Implementation Committee of the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context
12 December 2016 - 14 December 2016
Geneva, Switzerland
Environmental threats do not respect national borders. Governments have realized that to avert this danger they must notify and consult each other on all major projects under consideration that might have adverse environmental impact across borders. The ESPOO Convention is a key step to bringing together all stakeholders to prevent environmental damage before it occurs. The Convention entered into force in 1997.
