Compisition and Membership

CIPE is the main body responsible for the coordination and horizontal integration of national policies.

Key work

‘CIPE’s approval of Italy’s NSDS (developed by the Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea) ensured the commitment of the Government as a whole, conferring a strong value to the document itself. The Inter-Ministerial nature of the CIPE had the purpose to allow that every social-economic development could be framed in the sustainability context as identified by the NSDS, causing a double effect: on one hand, the integration of the environmental concerns in the decision-making processes; on the other hand, the increasing co-ordination among the three pillars of development.’
