Since 1994......
For more than 10 years, the
Intergroup on Sustainable Development (ISD) provides a forum for
European Parliamentarians to learn about, debate and form policies
geared towards sustainable development in a cross-sectoral and
cross-party manner, making use of outside expertise and
participation of stakeholders .
The ISD was relaunched with the

the leadership of its own chairman:
