Effectiveness of Environmental Urban policies to improve Resources Efficiency

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

The urban dimension of the cohesion policy has been considerably reinforced for the period 14-20, recognising the relevant role of cities in the application of the Europe 2020 Strategy. This is particularly evident, once according to article 7.4 of its Regulation, Member States must allocate at least 5% of their national ERDF, within the framework of the investment for growth & job objective, to the support of sustainable urban development integrated strategies. These strategies are especially relevant for the improvement of urban environment quality and efficiency of the environmental management of EU urban areas. Thus, EURE proposes the exchange of experiences among managing authorities and local authorities (including their representatives/associations) of the policy instruments addressed by them to the development of ERDF Article 7, about the different ways they articulate the above mentioned 5%, for the improvement of environmental performance management of EU urban spaces, including the urban areas of low population density. EURE main output are: - Joint report about how the funds allocated by article 7 of the ERDF Regulation for the development of urban policies are being used for - Thematic seminars about how the funds allocated by the ERDF article 7 for the development of urban policies are being used in the partners territories - Action plans for improving the policy instruments addressed by the project. Its main beneficiaries will be: - Managing authorities responsible for the policy instruments that apply the article 7 of the ERDF Regulation funds – that will have structured and consensual measures to improve the efficiency of the application of those funds - EU urban areas – that will have support to implement more resource-efficient urban policies and to improve their environmental performance management - Citizens – that will enjoy of a better urban environment thanks to the new measures implemente

Expected Results (EN):

The project overall objective is to promote the exchange of knowledge and good practices among managing authorities and local authorities (including its associations and representatives) on methods and actions to improve the effective contribution of art 7 ERDF funds for a better monitoring and management of urban areas environment. The expected results are territorial action plans establishing schemes for improving the governance of key urban environmental activities like, for example, waste management, water treatment and recycling/circular economy in an integrated way through projects under the article 7.4 of ERDF Regulation enlarging its application to low population density urban areas. The project specific objectives are: - To promote de inclusion of low population density urban areas as beneficiaries of those policy instruments. - To raise awareness of the responsible of those policy instruments about the regional asymmetries (between European urban areas, especially in peripheral regions) the projects they support can represent. - To support local authorities in improving their governance in the field of environment and resource efficiency. - To foster interregional cooperation between the main stakeholders of the urban development policies encouraging effective networking and exchange of experiences between urban areas. - To improve the inclusion of environmental urban management strategies in the integrated strategies for urban development.
