Programme description
Main objectives:
The Programme envisages a set of concrete measures to support the further shift of Poland towards a more competitive and low-carbon economy that makes efficient use of natural resources, favours low power consumption and advocates a significant reduction of CO² emissions. Important investments in more sustainable transport and energy networks, environmental protection, climate adaptation and mitigation techniques as well as health and culture will nurture a more pro-business environment. They are also expected to significantly improve the living conditions of the 38 million Polish citizens.

The programme provides support on 10 thematic objectives. It mainly concentrates its resources on:
- transport infrastructure (63.88% on thematic objective 7 including 18% for rail);
