The following article has been recommended to you. You can find the original article together with any associated downloads at http://www.e3g.org/programmes/climate-articles/invitation-sustainable-europe-event-at-hungarian-embassy/ ********************************************************************************* E3G is pleased to be participating in a forthcoming event organised by The Embassy of the Republic of Hungary and the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe. The discussion event will take place on the morning of the 25th May and will be entitled “The EU – a pilot for sustainability?: The transition of Central and Eastern Europe as a regional and global opportunity for walking the talk”. In the last two decades, Europe has been occupied with the handling of three major political processes running in parallel: the conflict between environment and development threatening the world economy, the security challenge of the collapse of the Soviet empire, and the legal and logistic upheavals of the “exponential” enlargement of the EU. The event will provide an opportunity to assess the current situation and to discuss the future role of Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean in these efforts.
