ROUNDTABLE

Model Institutions represent a diversity of solutions to overcome social and political short-termism and protect the interests of future generations. There are parliamentary commissions, advisory councils and committees among these bodies with similar roles but different design. For some, it is the notion of sustainable development that provides a conceptual platform for operation, while others work on the basis of fundamental rights protection. Find a general introduction to each establishment and their availability below. For a comparative analysis on the work and set-up of the institutions find more information under the Work section.
