EU action towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for SDGs

Italian version

In February 2019, the EP Committee on Development (DEVE) and the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) held a joint public hearing to discuss strategic actions about the future of Europe, concerning the Sustainable Development Goals.
