Who are we?

Comhar was established in 1999 as the forum for national consultation and dialogue on all issues relating to sustainable development. Comhar works in three-year cycles and began its third term in January 2006, under Chairman Professor Frank Convery.

Comhar, formerly the National Sustainable Development Partnership, has recently been renamed as Comhar - Sustainable Development Council. Comhar's 25 members are drawn from five pillars: the State sector, economic sectors, environmental NGOs, social/community NGOs and the professional/academic sector. Comhar is supported by a full-time Secretariat based in St. Andrew Street, Dublin 2.
