(8) The transition to clean energy is an essential contribution to the mitigation of climate change with co-benefits for the environment. Actions for capacity building supporting the clean energy transition, funded until 2020 under Horizon 2020, should be integrated in the Programme, maintaining the same co-funding rate, since their objective is not to fund excellence and generate innovation, but to facilitate the uptake of already available technology that will contribute to climate mitigation. The inclusion of these capacity building activities into the Programme offers potential for synergies between the sub-programmes and increases the overall coherence of Union funding. Therefore, data should be collected and disseminated on the uptake of existing research and innovation solutions in the LIFE projects, including from the Horizon Europe programme and its predecessors.

(9) The impact assessments of the Clean Energy legislation estimate that the delivery of the Union's 2030 energy targets will require additional investments of EUR 177 billion annually in the period 2021- 2030. The biggest gaps relate to the investments in buildings decarbonisation (energy efficiency and small-scaledecentralised renewable energy sources, in particular intended for energy consumption through heating and air conditioning), where capital needs to be channelled towards projects of a highly distributed nature, for example by promoting pilot projects based on small urban conglomerates. One of the objectives of the Clean Energy Transition sub-programme is to build capacity for projects development and aggregation, thereby also helping to absorb funds from the European Structural and Investment Funds and catalyse investments in clean energy also using the financial instruments provided under InvestEU.

(12) The Union's most recent Environmental Implementation Review package21 indicates that significant progress is required to accelerate implementation of the Union environment acquis and enhance the integration of environmental and climate objectives into other policies. The Programme should therefore act as a catalyst to achieve the required progress through developing, testing and replicating new approaches; supporting policy development, monitoring and review; promoting greater awareness and communication; developing good governance; enhancing stakeholder involvement; mobilising investments across Union investment programmes or other financial sources and supporting actions to overcome the various obstacles to the effective implementation of key plans required by environment legislation. _________________ 21 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions - The EU Environmental Implementation Review: Common challenges and how to combine efforts to deliver better results (COM/2017/063 final).

(17) The Union's long-term objective for air policy is to achieve levels of air quality that do not cause significant negative impacts on and risks to human health. Public awareness about air pollution is high and citizens expect authorities to act. Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council26 stresses the role Union funding can play in achieving clean air objectives. Therefore, the Programme should support projects, including strategic integrated projects, which have the potential to leverage public and private funds, to be showcases of good practice and catalysts for the implementation of air quality plans and legislation at local, regional, multi- regional, national and trans-national level. These efforts to improve air quality should be consistent with the greenhouse gas lowering requirements and the long- term need to decarbonise the entire European economy, gradually replacing fossil-based energy infrastructures with infrastructures based on renewable energy sources, where technically possible. _________________ 26 Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC (OJ L 344, 17.12.2016, p. 1).

To support a broader market uptake of sustainable solutions, in particular the development of innovative renewable energy technologies, general public acceptance and consumer engagement should be promoted.

Recital 1
(1) Union environmental, climate and relevant clean energy policy and legislation have delivered substantial improvements to the state of the environment. The gradual mainstreaming of environmental and climate actions within other European public policies, such as agriculture and energy, has also contributed to this improvement. However, major environmental and climate challenges remain, which if left unaddressed, will have significant negative consequences for the Union and the well- being of its citizens.
