MFF 2014-2020: Implementing climate commitment and tracking climate spending
Publisher: CEE Bankwatch Network
Volume: 28 pages, pdf
Description:
To reach the EU agreed climate and energy targets by 2020, the European Commission states that at least 20% of the future Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2014-2020 should support climate action. Our environmental NGOs strongly support this initiative and ask to increase it to 25% of the next MFF. In order to have a proper legal basis, this commitment should be included in the Negotiating Box (in its Article9) and in the Inter-Institutional Agreement. In addition, a robust implementation of the “climate mainstreaming” in several steps is required to ensure all relevant EU funds maximize their climate benefits.
