Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC)
• “… is an international organisation with a mission to assist in solving environmental problems (…)”
• The REC is legally based on a charter signed by the governments of 29 countries and the EC
• 190 staff (some 30 nationalities)
• Offices in 17 countries
• Operations beyond Central and Eastern Europe

1. Climate Proofing the Project Cycle Programming – Integrating Climate Change into Strategic Planning Development
• Examples of tackling Climate Change in the NSRF (UK, France, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia)
• Examples of encouraging Climate Change positive investments (OP Berlin)
• Possible revision of the OPs to reduce their carbon intensity

4. Climate Change as an Economic Driver
Opportunities for growth and employment through investments:
•CC mitigation projects
•Adaptation projects
•Project that make the economic case of investments into low carbon economy
•Examples of how conventional economic projects were adapted to reduce their carbon intensity
•Skills/education based projects

Key Messages (1)
General:
• A combination of approaches is needed
• Restrict financing of projects with negative impact on climate change but when it is unavoidable – others should counterbalance the impact – neutrality
• Integration of Climate Change in all projects, not only environmental
• Stronger demands from the EC - gradually make a shift from voluntary demands to obligatory requirements for Member States
