1. CALL 2016 European Information Day Climate Action Policy Priorities 17 June 2016

2. 06/08/2019
The Paris Agreement first-ever universal, legally binding global climate deal

3. From Paris to all over the EU
By 2030  EU emissions 40% (1990)
43%  from Emission Trading System 'ETS' (2005)
30%  for non-ETS (2005)
27% share for renewable energy
27% energy efficiency (BAU)
Adaptation strategies everywhere
Energy Union governance
National Energy and Climate Plans & 2050 perspective

4. Mitigation policy priorities
Breakthrough low carbon solutions for energy intensive industries  15%
Alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases and facilitate technology neutral standards
Emissions and removals from Land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF)

5. Adaptation policy priorities
Develop strategies and vulnerability assessments
Vulnerable areas in the EU Adaptation Strategy: cross-border floods management, cross-border coastal management; urban environment; mountain and island areas; drought-prone areas (water, desertification, fire risks)
Urban adaptation/Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy
Encourage green infrastructure/ecosystem-based solutions

6. Governance & Information priorities
Development of mid-century and 2030 climate strategies
Monitoring, evaluation, awareness raising, training supporting policy development/ implementation (e.g. EU ETS and fluorinated greenhouse gases Regulation)
Building coordination platforms to support development of mitigation and adaptation policies
Adaptation options/vulnerabilities awareness

7. Integrated projects / technical assistance priorities
06/08/2019
Integrated projects / technical assistance priorities
implementation of national, regional or industry/sector specific GHG strategies or low carbon economy roadmaps
implementation of  national, regional or local specific adaptation strategies or action plans
implementation of urban action plans implementing the transition to a low carbon and/or climate resilient society.

8. 'Must-have': EU value added
Specific for Climate Action projects:
"Projects … need to demonstrate a transformative impact on increased climate resilience and/or on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This should contribute to the shift towards a resource-efficient, low carbon and climate-resilient economy."
Assessed at the level of the project itself and post project stage (replication/transferability)
see Multiannual work programme section (b)
