The following paragraphs show the challenges and desired changes for Policy Objective 2, chosen by the Programme as the basis for defining its specific objectives and actions.
Challenges
- Bottlenecks in urban mobility due to traffic and congestion
- Common struggle pursuing global sustainable development objectives
- Climate change impacts on both sides of the border, such as global warming, vulnerability to floods and natural disasters
- Variety of climatic zones and landscapes
- Need for further joint interventions to mitigate climate change in the fields of water management, soil consumption, forest management, and natural risks prevention in a long-term perspective
- High energy consumption especially by transports and buildings causing air pollution and CO2 emissions
- Different governance of water and waste management in the two sides of the border and high infrastructure costs
Desired change
- Sharing technologies and solutions for micro-public transport strategies
- Reducing CO2 emissions by improving energy efficiency as well as by developing more sustainable mobility in line with European Green Deal objectives
- Enhancing Green Infrastructures Networks and foster shared approaches to manage and promote protected areas
- Promoting integrated strategies for waste management and developing innovative technologies to improve resource efficiency
- Supporting actions to mitigate and adapt to the climate changes depending on the territorial context-tailor-made responses for all types of landscapes and natural resources covering the whole programme area such as river and marine water quality management, soil consumption and coastal erosion, forest and coastal areas management, and natural risks prevention
- Developing common approaches for raising awareness and capacity building on the circular economy, also capitalizing on best practices on waste management and recycling
- Developing e-mobility strategies and innovative mobility systems for better accessibility of public services for the population, also to support tourism
