In seguito all’adozione il 17 aprile scorso da parte della Commissione di un emendamento al Programma di Lavoro 2023-24 di Horizon Europe, anche il Work Programme Missions è stato aggiornato.
L’emendamento include un investimento di 648 milioni di euro nelle Missioni dell’UE che mirano a contribuire alla soluzione di alcune delle sfide che l’Europa deve affrontare, ad esempio rendendo più di 100 città neutrali dal punto di vista climatico.
Le nuove azioni per il 2024 dovrebbero portare al ripristino di almeno 25.000 km di fiumi, a Climate City Contracts con più di 100 città, a 100 living labs e lighthouses che guidano la transizione verso suoli sani, ad autorità locali e regionali meglio preparate ad affrontare i rischi legati al clima, a una migliore diagnosi del cancro e al sostegno ai giovani malati di cancro.
