Publication metadata
The focus on the maritime dimension of the Channel area provides the France (Channel) – England CBC programme with an underpinning rationale for cooperation for environmental protection and enhancement of the area’s shared natural resources. The programme has delivered 55 projects focusing on the environmental protection theme (for ERDF EUR 53 million which is 31% of the ERDF budget dedicated to the programme). The main achievements of the CBC programme regarding environmental protection and enhancement have focused on more sustainable management of the Channel area’s natural heritage; eco-friendly construction, energy efficiency in buildings and sustainable transport; innovative solutions and services leading to a more environmentally sustainable economy; and sustainable development in behaviours and decision making. The programme’s results and impacts in terms of environmental protection are largely indirect. It has focused extensively on research activities designed to generate and apply knowledge relating to specific environmental protection issues but it is not possible to identify direct causal links between these activities and environmental protection in the short term and on the basis of available data. However, projects have had indirect positive impacts in that they have raised stakeholder awareness of specific environmental issues and provided a variety of tools to enable these to be addressed by stakeholders.
