The Group is focused on a wide range of topics including decarbonisation, air quality, biodiversity and biological landscapes, light pollution, noise and archaeology, among others. In 2025, the WG is expected to develop an overarching strategy on sustainability reflecting the overall strategy of CEDR and the strategic principles of the Compass process and the Dublin Declaration.
