In the 2007 – 2013 programming period, Member States used the RDPs to fund operations such as those related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, afforestation and forest fire prevention, irrigation, improved nitrogen-use efficiency and manure management, and grassland management. For the programming period from 2014 to 2020, Member States can build on past experiences and further provide targeted support for climate operations under a range of rural development measures such as the agri-environment-climate measure, forestry measures, investments in physical assets, knowledge transfer and information actions, and organic farming.
As part of a wider project for EC DG Climate Action, a series of 25 fiches have been written which seek to explain how some key “new and innovative” mitigation and adaptation measures work, and how they could be integrated into RDP operations. By “new and innovative” we mean actions either not commonly implemented in the past RDPs (but which have significant mitigation or adaptation potential), or actions which have already been commonly implemented in RDPs but which have significant additional mitigation or adaptation potential. The fiches were chosen (with the assistance of a range of stakeholders from across the EU) in order to provide actions that target a wide range of farm systems, GHG emission sources and adaptation pressures and are feasible to implement in RDPs. It is important to keep in mind that mitigation and adaptation are complex processes, while the fiches are relatively brief overviews that explain key points and are intended to provide inspiration rather than detailed technical guidance.
