The Commission for Sustainable Development In 1996, by order of the Government of the Republic of Estonia, a commission was created of experts on particular issues concerning the long-term sustainable development of the state (the Commission for Sustainable Development). The commission is chaired by the Prime Minister, and its members are appointed from different areas of life. The Estonian Parliament (Riigikogu), the government, research and development institutions, the private sector and various associations are all represented. The Commission for Sustainable Development counsels the government on matters of sustainable development. The task of the Commission is to analyse the policy of the state on sustainable development and to make proposals to the Government of the Republic and to state and local government institutions ensuring synergy among developments in the economy, social affairs and environmental areas. Additionally, the Commission has the right, when required, to propose drafting legislation and organising research on the subject. |
