CCB General Meeting

CCB • June 2, 2016

CCB held its biannual general meeting in Lviv, Ukraine on 20th-22nd of May 2016. A work plan for coming years was agreed upon and a new CCB board was elected. CCB also got two new members accepted at the general meeting, one from Latvia and one from Belarus. 

CCB also held the annual conference focusing on river basin management and importance of cross border cooperation upstream. It is clear that without a strong cooperation, the objective of good environmental status in rivers and sea will be hard if not impossible to reach. The message from the conference was that it is possible and that NGOs have a big role to play in pushing for cross-border cooperation with upstream countries like Ukraine and Belarus. Program and speakers can be in the events page.
