Horizon 2020 – National Contact Point: Climate Action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials (SC5);

Ambiente e clima in H2020:

• Come obiettivi chiave di Horizon 2020, l’azione per il clima e lo sviluppo sostenibile sono rilevanti per tutte le aree del programma.

• Almeno il 35% del budget totale di Horizon 2020 è destinato all’azioneper il clima, mentre almeno il 60% dovrebbe ricordursi ad azionivotate allo sviluppo sostenibile.

• Nella template genrale della proposta è richiesto di specificare ilcontributo del progetto agli obiettivi legati all’azione per il clima e allosviluppo sostenibile.

Che cos’è l’azione per il clima?

L’azione per il clima include:

• Mitigazione del cambiamento climatico (contributo alla riduzione deigas serra)

• Adattamento all’impatto del cambiamento climatico attraverso lo sviluppo di una maggiore resilienza a fenomeni come inondazioni, siccità ed altri eventi climatici estremi.

• Maggiore comprensione delle cause del cambiamento climatico.

29/11/2017 3

Attività che contribuiscono all’azione per il clima:• energy efficiency ;

• renewable non-fossil energy (e.g. wind, solar, aero-thermal, geothermal, hydrothermal, ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas, biogases) & related infrastructure including energy storage and 'smart grids';

Che cosa si intende per sviluppo sostenibile?

Efficienza delle risorse

• Sviluppo sostenibile significa migliorare l’efficienza delle risorse, come secondo i SDG.

• L’efficienza delle risorse è strettamente collegata con l’azione per il clima poiché un uso efficiente delle risorse può mitigare il cambiamento climatico.

29/11/2017 5

Attività che contribuiscono all’efficienza delle risorse:• making consumption & production in all areas of society/the economy more resource-efficient;

• improving waste management; increasing re-use, repair or recycling; using waste from some production processes as a resource in others in allsectors;

• ensuring the provision of clean water; promoting efficient & economical water supply & use; helping reduce water shortages, droughts & floods;

• improving air quality & reducing air pollution; tackling the effects of air pollution;

• protecting the soil; reducing soil-sealing; tackling or helping to prevent erosion, landslides, soil contamination, salinisation & desertification;

• Sustainable management of fishery & marine resources, including in the fields of mineral extraction, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & energy;

• increasing sustainable chemistry/'green' chemistry; replacing dangerous chemicals by safer alternatives;

• managing forests more sustainably;

• protecting and/or restoring ecosystems or biodiversity;

• reducing noise pollution;

• improving energy efficiency & cutting greenhouse gas emissions;

• addressing behavioural patterns, societal acceptance & barriers to uptake of policies or technologies; raising awareness of resource efficiencyissues, including through education & training.

Come integrare l’azione per il clima e lo sviluppo sostenibile in tutte le proposte?

• Usando le linee guida fornite dalla CE (v. slides 4 e 6), determinare quanto sono rilevanti gli obiettivi relativi all’azione per il clima e allo sviluppo sostenibile rispetto alla proposta.

• Menzionare chiaramente qualsiasi aspetto saliente nella proposta.

• Descrivere l’impatto a breve/medio/lungo della proposta sugli obiettivi climatici e/o su uno o più degli SDGs.

• Riferirsi ad evidenze ed indicatori per sostanziare le proprie affermazioni.

Societal Challenge 1 - Health, demographicchange and wellbeing [2020]

Priority 5 – Decoding the role of the environment, including climate change, for health and well-being

• AIM: Improving the risk assessment of environment on health and well-being, and the related socio-economic impact and developing mitigation measures

• FOCUS: New testing/screening methods to identify endocrine disrupting chemicals, the development of the 'human exposome' (to allow the assessment of lifelong environmental influences on individuals) and to set the priorities for a new research agenda

1° stage già chiuso (24 sett. 2019)

SC1-BHC-36-2020 - Micro- and nano-plastics in our environment: Understanding exposures and impacts on human health

• Challenge: The plastic we produce is not disposed of properly and persists in the environment, especially the marine environment. The debris is filtered into marine species’ gastrointestinaltract mechanically or it may look like food to some species, thus entering the food chain, with unknown effects. Humans are exposed to micro- and nano-plastics through their diet, drinkingwater or inhalation. However, our understanding of the fate and toxicity of these plastic particlesin humans constitutes a major knowledge gap, rendering it difficult to carry out proper science-based risk assessment and management.

• Scope: Proposals should use innovative approaches to provide policy relevant scientific data in support of improved human health hazard and risk assessment of micro and/or nanoplastics, considering inter alia:

• Environmental/food/water sources for micro- and/or nano-plastics and transmission to humans;

• Methods for identification and quantification of micro and/or nano-plastics in foods, environmental media and tissues;

• Microbial colonisation of m;icro- and/or nano-plastics as vectors for potential pathogens;

LEIT – Information and CommunicationTechnologies

• DT-ICT-09-2020: Boost rural economies through cross-sectordigital service platforms

29/11/2017 13

• Challenge: Rural areas are key to solve many of the big societal challenges such as climate changeor the sustainable provision of food, biomass and energy. European rural areas are places of greatassets and they can become more attractive if the provision of jobs, basic services, includinghealth and care, connectivity, smart transport, and energy solutions, ecc. are ensured. Overcoming the digital divide between rural and urban areas and developing the potentialoffered by increased connectivity and digitisation of rural areas must receive particularattention.

• Scope: Proposals are expected to develop and demonstrate cost-efficient and flexiblecrossdomain applications through large-scale pilots. These should build on an open, API-based, interoperable and federated IoT architecture and include a reference implementation supportingflexible integration of heterogeneous services.

• Potential application areas could include one or more of the following: public services, energy, autonomous roboticstransport, logistics, education, tourism, health and care. The applications should support the implementation of the smart villages concept oriented towards relatively underdeveloped and remotely located rural areas and communities. Innovative and technical inspiration could be sought in previous work in the following domains: smartcities, smart living and ageing well, smart - and/or social farming, forest management, distributed energy, smartlogistics and mobility and egovernance.

• radically novel approaches to resilient, reliable and environmentally responsible in-situ monitoring In-situ sensing technologies (physical, chemical, biological, behavioural) for environmental monitoring, in particular favouring sensors for parameters and environments that are currently under-sampled but at the sametime critical for improving predictive models for understanding environmentalprocesses.
