The report of the Rural Pact Policy Lab on ‘Territorial development for the green transition’ highlights the need for increased use of EU territorial tools, such as LEADER/CLLD, Smart Villages, and Integrated Territorial Investments (ITIs).
The Rural Pact community can play a key role in boosting the use of these tools by supporting peer learning and raising awareness among managing authorities. Additionally, the Rural toolkit on EU funding – collecting a range of funding opportunities for rural areas – can further help to raise awareness.
Access to long-term funding with low bureaucratic barriers, simplified implementation, and capacity building for managing authorities are essential to achieving the goals of the green transition through territorial tools.
