A new report has been published by two of our SHERPA partners, the Institute for European Environmental Policy and the CIHEAM Montpellier, on the post-2020 policy framework impacting rural areas.
The report illustrates current overarching political strategies and the policies within them that impact EU rural areas: the Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas and the European Green Deal, including its Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies. For each of them, it identifies the timeline and its past as well as future activities.
In addition, it provides an overview of the European budget and its different funding instruments, that can be used for rural areas, such as the Common Agricultural Policy, Cohesion Policy and the Horizon Europe programme.
This report gives an update on a previous report published on the same matter in 2020.
