CCIM Stakeholder-meeting 24 Jan 2008 Ludo Holsbeek – LNE-BVE Lissabon update COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL Strategic report on the renewed Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs: launching the new cycle (2008-2010) The Lisbon strategy aims at strengthening the link between sustainable use of resources, environmental protection, climate and energy policies and growth. Many Member States have included environmental sustainability among their key priorities or challenges and report important new policy measures. CCIM Stakeholder-meeting 24 Jan 2008 Ludo Holsbeek – LNE-BVE Lissabon update COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL Strategic report on the renewed Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs: launching the new cycle (2008-2010) The Lisbon strategy aims at strengthening the link between sustainable use of resources, environmental protection, climate and energy policies and growth. Many Member States have included environmental sustainability among their key priorities or challenges and report important new policy measures. However, recent analysis shows that tackling climate change, improving resource and energy efficiency, and halting biodiversity loss will remain key challenges for the period until 2011 and more efforts will be needed. Recognising this, new cohesion policy programmes plan a total investment of €50.6 billion under the heading of environmental protection and risk prevention. Further investment of €9.6 billion is planned in the area of energy.

Als zodanig zijn wij van mening dat ecologische cohesie en omgevingsindicatoren volwaardig deel uitmaken van de cohesie-instrumenten. We ondersteunen ten volle de aandacht voor klimaatthema’s die door de Commissie bevestigd wordt als één van de grote uitdagingen voor de volgende ronde van het cohesiebeleid” CCIM Stakeholder-meeting 24 Jan 2008 Ludo Holsbeek – LNE-BVE Financiële perspectieven na 2014 Rondvraag naar prioriteitennota COM Environment = Klimaat ? 1.
