Civil society and think tank representatives from ten countries from around the globe met in Berlin in January 2014 to discuss the United Nations’ Post-2015 Agenda and the future sustainable development goals (SDG). Participants exchanged views on regional and thematic priorities, and agreed that the environmental dimension needs to be better embedded in the Post-2015 Agenda. The workshop “Embedding the environment in the Post-2015 Agenda” (27-28 January 2014 in Berlin, Germany) was initiated and organised by adelphi, jointly with Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik and the German NGO Forum on Environment & Development, and with financial support from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety.
