Project summary

Policy objective: PO 2 - A greener, low-carbon transitioning towards a net zero carbon economy and resilient Europe by promoting clean and fair energy transition, green and blue investment, the circular economy, climate change mitigation and adaptation and risk prevention and management

Specific objective: SO 7 - Enhancing protection and preservation of nature, biodiversity, and green infrastructure, including in urban areas, and reducing all forms of pollution

Typology: Capitalization project

The project GRENNAT faces challenges that are important for the entire program area, as it follows European reinforcement for improving the state of biodiversity in the Natura 2000 area and in other priority areas of nature to improve the state of species and habitat types, regulation of visitors visit to the most stressed parts of nature and investing in green infrastructure in the urban environment. The general goal of the project is to upgrade the long-term cross-border green infrastructure plan, implement measures for the sustainable cross-border development of Natura 2000 areas, and better ensure the visibility of results to improve the protection and preservation of the natural environment and biodiversity and the transfer and reuse of the project's achievements to new areas of the program.

Objectives
  • The general goal of the project is to upgrade the long-term cross-border green infrastructure plan, implement measures for the sustainable cross-border development of Natura 2000 areas, and better ensure the visibility of results to improve the protection and preservation of the natural environment and biodiversity and the transfer and reuse of the project's achievements to new areas of the program.
  • The project GRENNAT faces challenges that are important for the entire program area, as it follows European reinforcement for improving the state of biodiversity in the Natura 2000 area and in other priority areas of nature to improve the state of species and habitat types, regulation of visitors visit to the most stressed parts of nature and investing in green infrastructure in the urban environment.
  • The innovative solutions defined by the project are the preparation of a joint action plan for the management of NATURA 2000 areas, the transfer and reuse of the effects of the GREVISLIN project, the implementation of environmental pilot activities in NATURA 2000 areas and the pilot implementation of investments in green infrastructure in the cross-border basins of the Soča and Vipava rivers.
Output

The project at the cross-border level ensures the optimal improvement of achievements in the preparation of the project and conceptual design of green infrastructure, the use of ecosystem services, the management of protected areas and the transfer of good practices, thus contributing to the protection of nature and sustainable development. The results of the project will be used by professional institutions and interest groups, local, regional and national authorities in the transfer of good practices, as well as by the general public, who will be better informed about nature conservation issues.
