Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- EuropeanGreenDeal The investment intentions of the partners in the EcoScape project is related to green infrastructure in the urban areas, which has a strong ecological effect, reduces all form of pollution including reducing carbon emissions through greener areas, favors biodiversity in the city, lowers micro temperatures and, in addition, has a social function for leisure and recreation. An important emphasis in this goal is the achievement of the goals of the "Green Deal" concluded at the European level and an aspiration of the EU, Bulgaria, and N Macedonia to be carbon neutral by 2050.
- The importance of green infrastructure application at the local level is underlined in the position of the European Committee, which states that the crucial responsibility for green infrastructure projects lies within the individual bodies responsible for regional and local planning. Green infrastructure is included in several important EU strategies and policies such as the EU biodiversity strategy, EU Strategy on green infrastructure, EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, the European Environment Action Programme to 2020, and more.
- The activities of the project are green infrastructure investments as well as a Joint green infrastructure strategy, Action plan for green infrastructure, Development of Joint green cities concept, capacity building training, and Green infrastructure raising awareness campaign. The activities were chosen because the partners aim at sustainable development, the issues of which are directly related to the objectives of the Green Deal, seeking to reduce the pressure on climate change and to fulfill the foreseen “green” measures. The Green Pact, which is an integral part of Europe's strategy to tackle climate change by 2030, includes a number of strategies in different areas such as biodiversity, cleaner air, pollution reduction, and better health of current and future generations. The aim of the green infrastructure project is fully in line with these principles.
