National Commission on Sustainable Development

The Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development (FNCSD) was established in 1993 and has continued to operate through several changes of government. The composition of the Commission has been readjusted to contain more representatives from business and industry, labour unions, church groups and NGOs, and only one representative from each ministry. Over the past decade, the FNCSD has provided a permanent focal point for sustainable development issues in Finland, enabling the process of integrating sustainable development into all fields of endeavour to be continued without detrimental interruptions or sudden policy changes.
