3rd meeting of ENRD Thematic group on Bioeconomy and climate action in rural areas

The meeting focused how rural climate efforts can be proved and demonstrated, in order to be recognised by markets, authorities and the wider society.

Building on examples from different parts of rural Europe, participants discussed possible ways of demonstrating rural activities’ contribution to climate action and environmental sustainability. These may include participatory certification schemes, shared sustainability criteria, or territorial climate labels, among other things.

The meeting was addressed at National Rural Networks, RDP Managing Authorities, Local Action Groups and any stakeholders involved in bioeconomy value chains or rural bioeconomy initiatives.
