The Highlights report of the 4th Meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group on European Green Deal and rural areas focuses on local and territorial environment and climate approaches to promoting the green transition.

This report explains the benefits of generating collective action and local ownership in terms of providing an effective way to promote the uptake of environmental schemes among rural actors. Cooperation and exchanges between different stakeholders, the availability of expertise and advice, and sufficient economic incentives for farmers were recurring success factors in the cases presented.
