The Coordination Committee for International Environmental Policy (CCIEP)

Banner CCIEP

Nobody would deny nowadays that the environment is an issue which transcends boundaries: over 80% of environmental decisions or standards which affect Belgium originate at international level.

Due to the division of powers among different authorities in the environmental field, dialogue is vital to ensure that our country speaks with a single voice in the international arena.

The Coordination Committee for International Environmental Policy, or CCIEP, was set up in 1995 to meet this need. It is the result of a cooperation agreement on international environmental policy between the Federal State, the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region. On a day-to-day basis, it is steered by the DG Environment at the FPS.

The CCIEP enables Belgium to put forward concerted views on environmental matters within numerous international organisations and bodies.

The brochure “CCIEP – A unique voice on the international environment scene (.PDF)” summarises the functioning of the CCIEP.
