The workshop comes at an important stage in the implementation of the EU Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF) with important decisions particularly by fund management authorities lying ahead with significant implications for biodiversity. The workshop aims to obtain feedback from key officials and stakeholders involved in the implementation of funding instruments at regional, national and European levels on proposals for:
– a common framework for biodiversity proofing
– fund-specific guidance on biodiversity proofing
The focus will be on ensuring the framework and guidance is practical and useful for the relevant authorities. The workshop will cover the funds listed above3, and consist of a mixture of plenary and break out group sessions, as outlined in the agenda.
The workshop will take place at Guimard Building, Rue Guimard 10, 1040 – Bruxelles.
