(4) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with Union’s commitments to implement the Paris Agreement, and the commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Regulation should therefore mainstream climate action and lead to the achievement of an overall target of 2530% of the EU budget expenditures supporting climate objectives18 . Actions under this Programme are expected to contribute 60% of the overall financial envelope of the Programme to climate objectives, based inter alia on the following Rio markers: i) 100% for the expenditures relating to railway infrastructure, alternative fuels, clean urban transport, electricity transmission, electricity storage, energy efficiency, smart grids, CO2 transportation and renewable energy; ii) 40% for inland waterways and multimodal transport, and gas infrastructure - if enabling increased use ofa measurable transition away from fossil fuels through for example renewable hydrogen or bio-methane. Relevant actions will be identified during the Programme's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes. In order to prevent that infrastructure is vulnerable to potential long term climate change impacts and to ensure that the cost of greenhouse gas emissions arising from the project is included in the project's economic evaluation, projects supported by the Programme should be subject to climate proofing in accordance with guidance that should be developed by the Commission coherently with the guidance developed for other programmes of the Union where relevant. __________________ 18 COM(2018) 321, page 13

(17) Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council27 identifies the trans-European energy infrastructure priorities which need to be implementhave been established in order to meet the Union's energy and climate policy objectives, identifies projects of common interest necessary to implement those priorities, and lays down measures in the field of the granting of permits, public involvement and regulation to speed up and/or facilitate the implementation of those projects, including criteria for the eligibility of such projects for Union financial assistance. The list of projects of common interest, eligibility criteria and TEN-E guidelines should be revised before the end of 2021 to take fully into account the goals and objectives of the Paris Agreement as well as the Union’s climate and energy targets for 2030 and beyond; to facilitate an enhanced dialogue between the European Parliament , the Council and the Commission on the lists of projects of common interest; and to unlock bottlenecks for increased investments for electricity and smart grid projects. __________________ 27 Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2013 on guidelines for trans- European energy infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1364/2006/EC and amending Regulations (EC) No 713/2009, (EC) No 714/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 (OJ L 115, 25.4.2013, p. 39).

(18a) Directive [Energy Efficiency Directive] highlights energy efficiency as the first priority for decarbonising the EU energy system and calls for well-designed and effective Union financial instruments to support energy efficiency measures. Investments to enhance energy efficiency should therefore also be eligible for CEF funding, where they fulfil other criteria laid down in this regulation.
