RECAPITULATION: CLIMATE TRACKING METHODOLOGY


AGRICULTURE (EAGF+EAFRD)

• Marker system operates at significant level of detail• European Regional Development Fund has 35/123 investment

categories• European Social Fund only 1/8• European Agricultural Fund for Regional Development has 4


RECOMMENDATIONS

• SHORT- Action plan needed to achieve 20% climate funding target through intensified climate

funding in 2018-2020 (ECA recommendation)

• MEDIUM (next MFF)- Transparent and easy accessible information on EU climate funding – e.g. reporting in

NECPs (MS) and separate document highlighting actual funded projects (COM)

- Setting and expanding sub-targets on funding contributions for all main programmes to ensure overall climate funding achievement

- Improve tracking methodology More rigous apporach to climate tracking markers (towards OECD markers)

Further investment categories can lead to more precise climate tracking

- All EU funded programmes/projects need to be inline with achieving a low-carbon economy and 2030/2050 climate and energy targets
