IMPEL promotes the exchange of information and experience and the development of a higher consistency of approach in the implementation and enforcement of environmental legislation. Information exchange among civil servants between the IMPEL member in the field of permitting and enforcement and presenting the products of IMPEL’s work to a broader audience are very important.

Experiences from previous conferences highlight the need for a dedicated event focused on the work, progress, and future direction of IMPEL’s network and its five Expert Teams. In general, the IMPEL conferences aims to:

  • Improve the visibility of IMPEL
  • Strengthening the IMPEL-network on national and regional level; promoting IMPEL and its products; generating new ideas for further co-operation
  • Present the state of play of her Multi Annual Strategic Programme, the work programme and the results of the Implementation Challenge survey
  • Promote and disseminate IMPEL’s results and output
  • Improve the efficiency, effectiveness of compliance and enforcement activities in the field of environmental protection
  • Discuss and present trainings and capacity building possibilities of IMPEL programme covering key areas identified as implementation gaps and needs.
  • Show case innovative new tools and actions to support IMPEL members in their work and responsibilities
  • Facilitate sharing of best practices, case studies and know-how
