Make it Work has developed drafting principles for smarter environmental reporting. The principles can serve as an important reference for those involved in establishing, reviewing or revising environmental reporting at EU level (Commission, Council and Parliament as well as Committees, Working/Expert Groups, etc). In particular they can serve as useful input to the Commission Fitness check on environmental monitoring and reporting.

The drafting principles for environmental reporting can be downloaded below. Also available below is a note from the MiW project team to the Commission, linking the main messages arising from the MiW principles for smarter environmental reporting with the Commission Fitness Check. See further the MiW workshops held on environmental reporting in Brussels, November 2015 and Barcelona, September 2016.
