Coastal and mountain economies based on cultural heritage, natural resources, tourism and cultural services need accessible tools to improve their environmental performance.

THEMATIC2GREEN supports SMEs, public bodies and organisations in assessing their current environmental performance, identifying improvement opportunities and understanding environmental certification pathways.

What We Do

• analyse needs and opportunities in partner territories;

• survey businesses and public organisations;

• identify environmental-management gaps;

• provide capacity-building and training;

• develop a support platform;

• test environmental-quality management approaches;

• develop transferable solutions for environmental certification.

Key Result

A service platform will support public and private organisations in diagnosing environmental-quality needs, identifying feasible strategies and receiving guidance toward implementation and certification.

Climate change increasingly affects tourism, cultural services, agriculture, public services, heritage and economic activity in both coastal and mountain territories.

THEMATIC2GREEN strengthens the ability of public and private actors to understand local climate impacts and translate climate knowledge into investment and adaptation strategies.

What We Do

• analyse territorial exposure and vulnerability;

• identify indicators for vulnerable economic sectors;

• develop climate-impact forecasting models;

• produce local scenario analyses;

• support decision-making for adaptation investments;

• develop participatory planning approaches;

• promote awareness and knowledge sharing.

Key Result

A dedicated platform will produce scenarios assessing climate-change impacts on territories and economic activities, including tourism, agriculture and public services.

The tool will support public and private decision-makers in defining investments and adaptation strategies.

Renewable-energy transition presents particular challenges in coastal, mountain and rural territories characterised by low population density, seasonal demand and environmentally sensitive landscapes.

THEMATIC2GREEN promotes innovative renewable-energy systems and community-based approaches adapted to these conditions.

What We Do

• analyse territorial renewable-energy potential and constraints;

• examine innovative energy-management models;

• promote citizen-driven energy initiatives;

• test renewable-energy solutions in rural and coastal areas;

• support energy-community development;

• develop a Joint Strategy;

• strengthen cooperation between institutions and stakeholders.

Expected benefits

Energy communities and innovative renewable-energy systems can contribute to:

• greater energy efficiency;

• reduced energy costs;

• increased use of renewable resources;

• stronger citizen participation;

• new local economic opportunities;

• greater public acceptance of renewable-energy projects.
