tailieunhanh - Handbook for Environmental Project Funding

I’m very pleased to introduce the Environment Agency’s first national assessment of flood risk for England. This is a major piece of work that brings together our latest scientific and engineering knowledge to describe clearly the risks of flooding from rivers and the sea. It underpins our future plans for investment in flood risk management as well as helping us to work together with our partners to protect the public and property from floods more effectively. The events of the summer of 2007 demonstrated the major impacts floods can have. They also showed the importance of understanding the flood risks. | Handbook for Environmental Project Funding i CONTENTS Acknowledgement v Legal Notice v Contacts v Useful Links v INTRODUCTION 1 Information on the European Union 1 Who should read this Handbook 1 Purpose and Objectives 1 Background 2 Structure of the Handbook 3 ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRATION 5 Introduction 5 COHESION FUND 7 EUROPEAN AGRICULTURAL GUIDANCE AND GUARANTEE FUND 8 EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND 9 EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND 11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT FOR FISHERIES GUIDANCE 12 INNOVATIVE ACTIONS 13 INTERREG III 14 LEADER 16 URBAN II 17 EEA FINANCIAL MECHANISM 19 CORE ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCING 21 Introduction 21 CIVIL PROTECTION ASSISTANCE INTERVENTIONS 22 COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAMME IN THE FIELD OF CIVIL PROTECTION 23 ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS 24 FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANISATIONS 26 GENERAL CALL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROPOSALS 27 LIFE III 28 MARINE POLLUTION 30 SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT 31 ii ENVIRONMENTAL EXTERNAL FINANCING 32 Introduction 32 ASIA PRO ECO 33 ASIA URBS 35 BORDER REGIONS - PILOT PROJECTS 37 CO-FINANCING WITH NGOs 40 ENVIRONMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 41 ISPA 43 MEDA II 45 PHARE 47 SAPARD 48 SMAP 49 TACIS 51 CARDS 52 TROPICAL FOREST MANAGEMENT 53 URB-AL- LOCAL URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN LATIN AMERICA 55 ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH FINANCING 57 THE 6th RTD framework programme FP6 58 ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCING THROUGH EDUCATION VOCATIONAL TRAINING CULTURAL AND YOUTH PROGRAMMES 60 CULTURE 2000 61 LEONARDO DA VINCI 63 SOCRATES 65 YOUTH 67 LOAN FINANCING BY THE EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK THE EUROPEAN INVESTMENT FUND AND THE EUROPEAN INVESTMENT FUND AND THE EUROPEAN BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT 69 EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK 70 SME GUARANTEE FACILITY 72 EUROPEAN BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT 73 NORTHERN DIMENSION ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERSHIP 76 List of Figures Figure 1 - Local stakeholders get involved 2 Figure 2 - Format of information 3 Figure 3 - The Structural Funds and Rural Development 6 .
