GreenGov

GreenGov is an Interreg Europe funded project that helps European Regions and local authorities to implement the EU Taxonomy and improve the governance of their financing schemes. The partners are working to design a common and robust process to adapt regional and local strategies to this new European framework, by developing a guide to support capacity building and awareness raising on green finance mechanisms among all the actors involved. This guidance will also be put into practice to explore green budgeting, using the tools of budgetary policymaking to help the partners redirect their investments towards sustainable priorities, develop regional green bonds frameworks and other innovative financial instruments to achieve environmental goals. The project targets eight policy instruments: four ERDF regional programmes, a green finance strategy, an economic transition governance strategy, a development strategy and a regional climate strategy. Led by the Ile de France Region, GreenGov involves other seven territorial partners supported by a research centre, covering the 4 geographical zones of the Interreg Europe programme. The partners are Ile de France Region (France), Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Portugal), Lombardy Region (Italy), Regional Development Agency South-West Oltenia (Romania), Lower Saxony Ministry for Federal and European Affairs and Regional Development (Germany), Brussels-Capital Region (Belgium), North-West Regional Development Agency (Romania), South Moravian Agency for Public Innovation JINAG association (Czech Republic), Poliedra (Italy).
