The successful proposals will support the implementation of the long-term vision for EU’s rural areas, contribute to empower rural communities for transformative change to become sustainable and resilient, as well as to manage and adapt to a changing population.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Successful proposals will contribute to the impacts of this destination by providing tools to assess the socio-economic impacts, including benefits and costs, of measures aiming at restoring degraded ecosystems ensuring the provision of ecosystem services, including for adaptation and/or mitigation to climate change.
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
In line with the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the EU climate adaptation strategy, successful proposals will contribute to the impacts of this Destination, notably to protect healthy ecosystems and to restore degraded ones ensuring the provision of ecosystem services, including for adaptation and/or mitigation to climate change. The research will contribute to the objectives of the European Climate Law, which requires Member States to promote nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based adaptation.
In supporting the implementation of the European Green Deal, and in particular the 2020 circular economy action plan (CEAP), successful proposals will contribute to the expected impacts of this Destination, notably to innovative business and governance models and innovative circular materials, products, processes and value chains.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Successful proposals will contribute to the expected impacts of this destination notably by identifying mechanisms to raise awareness on the biodiversity crisis and on opportunities of biodiversity protection and restoration including for climate mitigation and adaptation.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
In line with the European Green Deal, notably the EU climate adaptation strategy, the Nature Restoration Regulation, EU water legislation and the upcoming European water resilience strategy, successful proposals will contribute to the impact of this Destination on adaptation and mitigation of water systems in the context of climate change, supporting also biodiversity protection and restoration.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
In line with the European Green Deal and its vision for a climate-neutral, prosperous economy by 2050, and the EU forest strategy for 2030, this partnership will mobilise research and innovation to accelerate the transition to a sustainable forest bioeconomy to enhance forest sector value, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
Successful proposals should contribute to a clean, competitive, safe, fair and circular economy and sustainable bioeconomy, through the integration of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, supporting the innovative, circular and climate-neutral bio-based sector.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
