1st meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group on the European Green Deal (EGD) and Rural Areas

This is the highlights report of the 1st meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group on European Green Deal and Rural Areas. The meeting steered the TG’s future work towards thinking how rural areas can best benefit from the shift to fully sustainable agricultural and forestry practices.

This includes how to reduce nutrient leakages and identifying the role of rural areas in delivering the Clean Energy Package, as well as how to help EU Member States (MS) design CAP Strategic Plans (CSP) that effectively deliver on these EGD targets.
