UNECE support to implementation of Sustainable Development Goals kicks off in Montenegro

Strengthening environmental governance and the development of environmental policies both play an important role in the achievement of many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On 11–12 February 2019, a UNECE expert mission visited ministries and stakeholders in Podgorica to kick off a project that will assist Montenegro in formulating actions to achieve relevant SDGs. The assistance is based on the recommendations provided in the Third Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of Montenegro, published out in 2014. The project “Evidence‐based environmental governance and sustainable environmental policies in support of the 2030 Agenda in South‐East Europe” is supported by the United Nations Development Account.
