Research priorities:

  • Urban infrastructure
  • New forms of organisation of urban mobility: high quality public transport, car-sharing, car pooling, demand-responsive transport
  • Urban mobility services with the support of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
  • Urban mobility systems: innovative and clean urban vehicles, quiet cities, accessibility for vulnerable users
  • City logistics
  • International co-operation

The Strategy's target 2 requires that 'by 2020, ecosystems and their services are maintained and enhanced by establishing green infrastructure and restoring at least 15% of degraded ecosystems'. But green infrastructure contributes to all 6 targets of the Strategy - in particular the full implementation of the Birds and Habitats Directive (target 1) and to maintaining and enhancing biodiversity in the wider countryside and the marine environment (targets 3 and 4).

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/ecosystems/strategy/index_en.htm

Funding:
Investing in green infrastructure does not just protect natural capital. It is a big step towards the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth which is one of the EU's priority objectives.

  • It contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation;
  • it reduces resource consumption by lowering energy use or increasing available water supply,
  • it attracts new investments or new businesses to an area, and inspires new business models;
  • it saves costs arising from negative environmental effects and brings health benefits, including through disaster prevention and mitigation (floods, droughts, forest fires, heat waves in urban areas, avalanches and landslides in rural areas,...).

  • Around 700 million people in 43 countries suffer today from water scarcity.
  • By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity.
  • Two-thirds of the world's population could be living under water stressed conditions.
  • With the existing climate change scenario, almost half the world's population will be living in areas of high water stress by 2030.

    • Ozone depletion – ozone helps reduce harmful levels of solar radiation reaching the earth’s surface. Ozone can be destroyed by the release of ozone-depleting substances.
    • Acidification of land and water – release of acidifying pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia can contribute to this.

LCAs can be costly and time-consuming, thus limiting their use as analysis techniques in both the public and private sectors. Streamlined techniques for conducting LCAs are needed to lower the cost and time involved with LCA and to encourage a broader audience to begin using LCA.

Current opportunities and challenges to achieve a sustainable built environment include:
    • reducing sprawl, car dependency, greenhouse gas emissions and the use of finite natural resources;
    • increasing affordability and livability in ways that meet diverse social, cultural and economic needs; and
    • improving environmental outcomes and reducing waste.
