    Goals / Remit

    Svenska Naturskyddsföreningen bildades 1909 och är Sveriges äldsta och största ideella, demokratiskt uppbyggda natur- och miljöorganisation. Föreningen är en partipolitiskt och religiöst obunden folkrörelse som står upp för naturen. Vi sprider kunskap, bildar opinion och påverkar beslutsfattare – lokalt, nationellt och globalt.

    Ändamålen uttrycks i föreningens värdegrunder:
    ·· att rädda naturens liv
    ·· att främja människors hälsa
    ·· att verka för global solidaritet

    Föreningen arbetar mot följande målområden:
    - atmosfären, ren luft och begränsad klimatpåverkan
    - livskraftig natur i skog och mark
    - livfulla vatten från källa till hav
    - miljökloka människor i hållbara samhällen

    Naturskyddsföreningen står dessutom bakom miljömärkningen Bra Miljöval.

    För att nå våra mål arbetar vi utifrån femförändringsmetoder.
    ·· naturkänsla
    ·· mobilisering
    ·· påverkan
    ··konsumentmakt
    ··samarbete

    Complementary Information

    All the staff of the SSNC: www.naturskyddsforeningen.se/om-oss/kontakta-oss/medarbetare-pa-rikskansliet/

    There are two dedicated EU Policy Officers. 10 is a low estimate of the number of staff engaged in EU related policies as part of their role. Most of the staff with the title “sakkunnig” (policy officer) or “avdelningschef” (head of unit) and some of those with title “produktansvarig” (officer of criteria development) work on relevant policies within their area of responsability. Communications staff is also involved in the work.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    4 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
