| Title | The role of the European Union in shaping environmental governance in developing countries |
| Summary | Since the Rio Summit in 1992 the European Union has been among the most importan proponents of international environmental action and cooperation. The strategy on Environmental integration in external relations is one example of this transition towards incorporating the environment into the political dialogue, trade policy and international governance. The congregation of the DG Development and DG EuropAid of the European Commission into Directorate-General Development and Cooperation – EuropAid is a symbolic (as well as practical) act that further demonstrates EU’s attempt to promote (sustainable) development through cooperation. The EU is also a party to a number of Multilateral Environmental Agreements which usually include a commitment to help developing countries in implementation of these agreements. These, coupled with the strong position of the EU in international Fora such as the Commission for Sustainable Development and its numerous projects in partnership with the United Nations Environmental Programme reveal the aim of the EU to establish a leadership position in setting the global environmental agenda. |
