Under the 'green lens' approach, all actions and decisions must take into consideration opportunities and risks to contribute to an environmentally sustainable, low carbon and climate resilient development

 

OVERVIEW OF KEY GREENING TOOLS

...

In aligning programming with key environment, climate change and DRR objectives (shared by both the EU and the partner country/region), the EU should consider prioritising sectors where its support can contribute to a transformational change towards environmentally sustainable, climate resilient and low-carbon development. These sectors often offer opportunities for the EU to add value by bringing in experience and expertise. Environment and climate change can be considered as priority areas in their own right, but should be considered in all cases in the EU response strategy as cross-cutting issues influencing interventions across all areas.

When programming, environment and climate change can be considered priority areas of support, but in all cases they must be integrated as cross-cutting issues across all areas

The programming documents should maximise opportunities for positive contributions to climate and nature, and ensure they adhere to the DNH principle. Wherever relevant, the objectives, expected results and indicators should address environmental and climate change concerns.

Wherever feasible, the EU should consider including a component to support the partner country’s efforts to green its policies and investments, in particular in the MIP priority sectors/areas: the tools developed by the Poverty-Environment Action programme, notably the interactive handbook can be useful to strengthen environment and climate change integration in national policies, planning and budgeting.
