Do you really know what Green Deal is in practice? Register to Greening EU Cooperation series of webinars N°4

Check it in the European Green Deal - Greening EU cooperation (Environment and Climate Change) webinar series!

​To help you better understand EU’s green initiatives, units F1, F2, F3 and F4 have prepared webinars on integrated landscape management, green & sustainable cities, Green Deal policy developments, greening budgeting & public finance management, as well as on how to use Rio markers.

This series, running over November and December, will help you better understand and get acquainted with:

• the Green Deal’s main priority areas, focusing on “greening”/mainstreaming and sustainable finance – particularly focusing on the EU priority on green financing; the Green Recovery; and the opportunities for programming for 2021-2027;
• the entry points for integrated landscape approaches to land management;
• the fundamental role of cities to achieve the Green Deal goals;
• the basics of Rio markers, their purpose and the possible Rio marker scores.

You may also learn something you could use in your private life to help achieving these goals.



The programme:

1. Integrated Landscape management can make a difference to a green and just transition

This module will present how landscape approaches aim at allocating and managing land to achieve economic and social development objectives while preserving ecosystems and the essential services they provide in areas where agriculture and other productive land uses compete with environmental, climate and biodiversity goals.
