JASPERS assistance and capacity building for smart development

The New European Bauhaus Investment Guidelines, developed in close collaboration with the European Commission, set the basis for how and why investments in built environment projects can be made consistent with the New European Bauhaus values and principles. The Guidelines target investments in buildings, open spaces, and neighbourhoods and provide a contribution through: General advice helping investors, developers, and project owners better understand the NEB and its connection to various aspects and stages of investment and project development. Concrete recommendations (called “NEB Investment Recommendations”), including planning and design solutions, technological solutions, public engagement approaches and alternative operation models, that help shape high-quality projects in line with the NEB values and principles.

The EIB Advisory JASPERS has developed an Excel tool with the aim to support beneficiaries of small water & wastewater projects to complete a climate resilience assessment that is proportionate to the size of the projects. The Excel tool has been designed for the climate resilience assessment of small projects that need to comply with the climate proofing requirement of the Common Provisions Regulation Art. 73 point 2 (j).

JASPERS, the EIB's largest advisory programme, offers assistance to public authorities in preparing sustainable urban investments for EU financing.
