Description:
This toolkit provides EU funds practitioners, whether it be relevant officials in municipalities, potential EU funds grantees, local communities, civil society organisations or interested members of the public, with an overview of all the legal regulations related to environmental mainstreaming and sustainable development that have been introduced into the forthcoming EU budgetary period of 2014-2020. In practical terms, coverage is provided, too, of the relevant environmental mainstreaming strategies and mechanisms. Also included is a brief introduction to the CO2MPARE tool that has been developed to allow interested parties to calculate the carbon footprint of activities that have been set out by funding authorities in EU funds operational programmes.
