3rd Meeting of Thematic Group on 'Resource-Efficient Rural Economy'

The 3^rd meeting of the Thematic Group (TG) discussed emerging findings in relation to the contribution of the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) to resource efficiency objectives, and considered the format of the final TG outputs. The TG focused on scoping commonalities and different approaches to the motivation, policy and implementation gaps emerging from case studies.

The TG’s contributions will help guide the development of the six ongoing case studies and the selection of good practice examples for more in depth investigation during the coming weeks of the TG work. These will inform the emerging conclusions of the work, to be discussed at the last TG meeting (3-5 May 2017).
