Creative Europe recognises the importance of fighting climate change and environmental sustainability as one of the main challenges facing Europe and requiring urgent action. For this reason, the programme encourages applicants to take climate change and environmental sustainability issues into account in the design and implementation of their project. The seminar organised by the IPPC will focus on the horizontal priorities and in particular on how applicants should take into account the issues of climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability in the design and implementation of their project. In addition, it will include a presentation of best practices on how to approach the above horizontal priorities included in all Creative Europe calls, which any organisation interested in applying should develop.

The seminar will give participants the opportunity to gain a good understanding of the following axes:

• European Added Value of projects and Horizontal Priorities.
• Good Environmental Practice Guide for Creative Europe.
• Greening Strategy for Creative Europe.
• A monitoring guide for the greening of the programme
• Good practices

The online presentation can be followed by the beneficiaries of the European programmes, such as Central and Local Authorities, Training Centres, State Agencies and State Enterprises, Non-Profit Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, Associations/Unions, Civil Society Organisations, Cultural Bodies, etc.
