Welcome to Horizon 2020
Euro-Mediterranean governments aim to tackle the top
sources of Mediterranean pollution by the year 2020
through the Horizon 2020 initiative that is built around
4 elements:
- Projects to reduce the most significant pollution
sources focussing on industrial emissions, municipal
waste and urban waste water, responsible for up to
80% of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
- Capacity-building measures to help neighbouring
countries create national environmental administrations
that are able to develop and police environmental
laws.
- Using the Commission's Research budget to develop
and share knowledge of environmental issues relevant
to the Mediterranean.
- Developing indicators to monitor the success of
Horizon 2020.
The initiative is open to all stakeholders and calls
for the mobilisation of the necessary financial resources
and the provision of technical support from all partners.
All stakeholders are invited to work together to maximise
assistance, exploit opportunities and meet the commitments
of the timetable.
