The 1st meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group (TG) on ‘Bioeconomy and Climate Action in Rural Areas’ (Brussels, 25 September 2019) discussed the areas within the rural bioeconomy that have most potential to produce climate outcomes.
Participants looked into necessary actions to ensure that such climate outcomes can be valorised and upscaled in bio-based value chains and in rural activities. The event launched the TG's work to identify and disseminate the available support approaches, in particular in the context of the CAP and the Rural Development Programmes, to promote rural climate action within the bioeconomy.
