4th meeting of the Thematic Group on the European Green Deal and rural areas

The meeting explored tested experiences of promoting the green transition at the local or sub-regional level, including EAFRD-funded projects as well as other territorial initiatives. Participants discussed the factors that have led to the successful engagement and uptake of sustainable practices and reflected on the lessons that can be learnt from these experiences for the design and implementation of the CAP Strategic Plans.

Aims

• Share successful examples of territorial and collective approaches that engage local people and beneficiaries and lead to an increase in the uptake of environmentally sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry and rural communities;
• Discuss and identify success factors and key drivers of these experiences and identify what sorts of changes could be proposed to make environmental and climate interventions more effective in the future;  
• Inform the drafting of a TG factsheet on territorial approaches that support environmental and climate objectives of the CAP SP.
