On April 10 and 11th, Sofia hosts the informal meeting of EU Ministers of Environment. During the forum, 19 ministers and more than 40 delegations will be exchanging views on environmental protection, possible solutions aimed at improving air quality, improving implementation of EU environmental legislation, as well as challenges the EU faces at the backdrop of the forthcoming Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

During the informal Environment Council, the first programme agreement was signed for financing the programme Environment and Climate Change for the new programming period under the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area (FM of EEA) 2014-2021 between Bulgaria and the donor countries – the Republic of Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Kingdom of Norway.

The new programme seeks to use resources worth in excess of 15 million euro to carry out measures for the implementation of important policies in waste management and adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
