The aim of the project is to:

Give the regional and local authorities specific instruments to address the challenge of energy efficiency and sustainable transport, by jointly developing Action Plans in close cooperation with regional stakeholders, to be implemented by making use of mainstream Objective 1 and 2 Structural Funds available in each participating region.

Specific objectives are to:
  • Translate the best practices mastered by the CO2FREE partnership into regional Action Plans to be implemented under the Operational Programmes of the EU Structural Funds (Objective 1 and 2 Operational Programmes) in each region.
  • Gain political commitment that regional Action Plans will be actually implemented, both from the regional stakeholders and the Managing Authorities of the Operational Programmes.
  • Involve regional and local stakeholders in the preparation of regional Action Plans.
  • Disseminate information about the project, its objectives, the approach, results and lessons learned to a large audience including policy and decision makers at local, regional, national and EU level, as well as EU local and regional authorities.

CO2FREE stems from the need identified by the partner regions to address the problem of climate change and the dependency on fossil fuels, and to seek ICT-based solutions for energy challenges and new approaches to make transport more sustainable; the partners have decided to tackle these issues through the exchange of good practices and their transfer into their Regional Operational Programmes.
