The political justification for activities under The political justification for activities under H2020 CB/MEP To support the implementation of H2020 with a special focus on environmental mainstreaming, by addressing the following problems: bl • low political priority given to the environment; p p y g ; • insufficient integration of environment in the different sector policies (agriculture, tourism, transport or energy, water, industry, development etc) and lack of inclusion of the different actors from development etc) and lack of inclusion of the different actors from local to international level; • Insufficient capacities and resources at institutional and civil society level. i l l 2nd Meet ing of t he Horizon 2020 Capacit y Building S ub Group, Brussels, 25 June 2010

Environmental integration and mainstreaming under the Environmental integration and mainstreaming under the H2020 CB/MEP Environmental mainstreaming is one of the obj ectives of the H2020 CB/ MEP Environmental mainstreaming is one of the obj ectives of the H2020 CB/ MEP . • to facilitate and create the enabling environment • not only of the CB Component of H2020 but of the entire Horizon 2020 Initiative while being an “ end goal” in itself Initiative, while being an “ end goal” in itself. Three tools will be used within the H2020 CB Component: (i) advocacy for inter-ministerial cooperation through awareness campaigns, briefings and help to those in the countries who work towards this direction, (ii) capacity building activities (trainings, etc.) for authorities at various levels of governance and stakeholders/ civil society involvement, etc. (iii) the implementation of the communication and visibility strategy, which includes also awareness campaigns as well as links to formal, non formal and informal education on relevant issues at various levels (e.g. sustainable development, sustainable consumption and production, etc.)

Methodology in drafting the Capacity Building and Methodology in drafting the Capacity Building and Environmental Mainstreaming Work Programme (I) The Work Programme is based on a complex process of The Work Programme is based on a complex process of integration of priorities identified through: • a desk study on the environmental profiles of the y p countries, • inputs from experts of the Consortium, • inputs received during the 14 country missions and consultations involving more than 500 persons representatives of governments and all stakeholders representatives of governments and all stakeholders,

Methodology in drafting the Capacity Building and Methodology in drafting the Capacity Building and Environmental Mainstreaming Work Programme (II) • written inputs received through the questionnaires, • comparisons made between the priorities of • comparisons made between the priorities of neighboring countries, • mapping exercise aiming to identify maj or capacity pp g g y j p y building activities and initiatives, past (yet recent), future or on-going, in the partner countries, in order to facilitate the process of identifying capacity building gaps/ needs, establish channels for inter-linkages where possible forge synergies and build upon past possible, forge synergies and build upon past experiences/ activities.

Project approach Project approach The proj ect approach will follow the main principles listed below: • Build synergies with other efforts for de-pollution at regional and national level and the other two H2020 i l d ti l l l d th th t H2020 components. • Communication and visibility actions in establishing a • Communication and visibility actions in establishing a public opinion. • Concerning the Capacity Building Work Programme: Concerning the Capacity Building Work Programme: ▫ use of innovative and flexible types of activities is imperative; p ▫ the development of clear guidelines for the selection of beneficiaries (trainees) is crucial; ▫ more emphasis should be on ToT (Training of Trainers) 2nd Meet ing of t he Horizon 2020 Capacit y Building S ub Group, Brussels, 25 June 2010
