On Thursday 4th September the renewed Governmental Council for the Sustainable Development convened for the first time. The council will deal with the long-term development of economy, social area and environment. Its goal will be to assess and react on long-term trends of the global development. The council itself will not design precise measures but it will outline basic “corridors”. It will play the role of the man in the middle between government and external partners, academic sphere and experts. It will also represent Czech Republic in relevant arenas when negotiating with UN. In October the first round table with the representatives of companies and trade unions is planned. In November Forum of Sustainable Development is going to be held.
