Nov 2023 – A report PS4SD made for WWF Europe on two aspects of the 2021 revision of the European Commission’s Impact Assessment (IA) guidelines and tools shows some reason for concern. The consistency with EU Climate Law and the do-no-significant-harm principle was found not to be well implemented. In 11 out of the 20 reviewed IAs, the overview on relevant SDGs was missing in the Annexes of the respective IA reports.
Sept 2023 – A peer learning project with 22 EU countries from 2021-23 motivated and supported SDG and RIA experts to work together and create new guidelines. The results are now published on our project page
