About
A follow-up seminar on the climate change related requirements for projects in the 2014-2020 period was held in Brussels on 12-13 June 2017.
Target audience
The target audience of the seminar was Member State authorities dealing with the development of new infrastructure projects, particularly project managers and experts that face challenges in implementing the new climate change related requirements in practice. The seminar was also targeted to new representatives of Member State authorities who did not attend previous capacity building seminars on climate change.
Objectives
Three years into the current programming period, experience is developing on how climate change considerations are being included in the preparation and implementation of programmes and projects.
Following up on previous seminars, this event aimed to provide further clarifications on the climate change related requirements for major projects and to allow representatives from managing authorities, line ministries and beneficiaries to share their experiences with the implementation of these requirements.
The seminar was organised in close cooperation with DG REGIO and DG CLIMA, who actively participated in the discussion with the audience and JASPERS specialists.
Participants were encouraged to prepare questions on the topics that were addressed in the event, including through a pre-event questionnaire.
