Newsletters

The ESDN Newsletter keeps you up to date about upcoming events, the newest publications and recent developments in sustainable development in Europe. The Newsletter gives an overview about new national strategies and future activities taking place in Europe. The Newsletter is sent out three times a year. It will be posted to the ESDN website, as well as to the ESDN LinkedIn page.

Newsflashes

ESDN Newsflashes are news articles that feature one good practice case from a European country on implementing sustainable development and the SDGs. Newsflashes are published around once every month on the ESDN website and on the ESDN's LinkedIn page.

Policy Briefs

The Policy Briefs are general recommendations for policymakers and stakeholder groups. They are suggestions by the ESDN members, often resulting from exchange and discussion at ESDN events, such as the annual Conference and Workshops. They represent the conclusions of sometimes up to 170 policymakers and sustainable development experts from all over Europe. It has to be noted that they do not reflect the views of the Advisory Board, the Office or the Executive Committee of the ESDN Association.
