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.
