- support investment in water resource management.
In addition, the programme will support the transition to a circular economy and the transition to renewable energies. This will be done by encouraging the deployment of smart distribution grids and improving energy storage. Moreover, the programme will finance climate change adaptation by setting in place risk mitigation measures to prevent natural disasters. It will also invest in protecting and restoring biodiversity and promoting sustainable tourism that is compatible with preserving natural and cultural resources.
On connectivity, investments will focus on promoting public transport and intramodality, to better serve a population that is spread throughout the entire regional territory. Finally, the programme will help strengthen the territorial balance and citizens’ quality of life, by enabling the entire region’s population to access quality health and education services.
