EU2020 Going Local
LGYH is an active partner in an EU funded Interreg 4c project called ‘EU2020 Going Local’. The project involves 14 partners from across Europe to develop a new programme around delivery of the Europe 2020 strategy, with a particular emphasis on climate change, energy and sustainable transport.
The project looks at how different regions are applying the Europe 2020 strategy and how it is linked to partners’ own local growth plans. As an Interreg project a key activity is also on the transfer of good practice on a range of environmental themes and the development of an action plan to influence future European funding calls. Following consultation with LGYH members we have focussed on:
• off-shore wind opportunity
• use of electric vehicles and related infrastructure
• mass installation of solar photovoltaic panels.
However, the aspect that really sets this project aside from many others is the political leadership from each of the partner regions and the potential to strengthen this transnationally.
