Newsletter INTERACT September 2011 | Sustainable Growth
24.10.2011
The September 2011 issue of the INTERACT Newsletter addresses the theme of Sustainable Growth
By 2020, the current Union’s climate and energy legislative package targets achieving rates of 20% less greenhouse gas emissions than in 1990, 20% less energy consumption and a 20% share of renewable energy within all the energy sources. These are ambitious goals to reach by the end of the next programming 2014-2020 period.
European Territorial Cooperation programmes and projects have already been working keeping environmental goals in mind. Therefore, regardless of which roles we will play in reaching our common 20-20-20 goals, if we want to better meet our responsibilities, looking into this issue seems like a very good idea.
