Project Marks Its First Year: Introducing an International Study and a Catalog of Best Practices for Supporting Disadvantaged Youth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>IREAS has been actively participating in the international COOPOWER project for a year now. The goal of this initiative, supported by the Interreg Danube Region program, is to systematically strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation that will help disadvantaged young people aged 15 to 30 overcome barriers and better integrate into the labor market.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of the project focused primarily on mapping the current situation and sharing existing analytical know-how and best practices across the Danube region. Here are the main milestones achieved by the international consortium of nine organizations during the first year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Analysis and Joint Diagnostic Study<\/strong>: An extensive mapping of conditions in selected disadvantaged regions across the eight partner countries was conducted.

The main objective is to support this target group in the transition to the circular economy through a wide range of activities. Despite efforts to support women entrepreneurs (WE), only 25.6% of entrepreneurs in the Danube Region are women. The gender gap exists in all sectors, including those related to the circular economy. While the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of the digital economy, it has also widened the existing digital skills gap. The lack of digital skills is creating new inequalities. The project therefore aims to improve the skills of women entrepreneurs in the Danube region for business development in the context of the circular economy, including business and digital skills.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/en\/projekty\/we-circular-boosting-digital-and-industrial-capacity-for-sustainable-circular-transition-of-women-entrepreneurs-in-the-danube-region\/\">More:<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-4772\" data-post-id=\"4772\" >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"1223\" class=\"elementor elementor-1223\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e306e5f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default aktualita-term-id-41\" data-id=\"e306e5f\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"4772\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fb587e elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"3fb587e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06a7727 zmensit-obr elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"06a7727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20220227_153535350-Rybnik-Svet-Trebon-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4770\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20220227_153535350-Rybnik-Svet-Trebon-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20220227_153535350-Rybnik-Svet-Trebon-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20220227_153535350-Rybnik-Svet-Trebon-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20220227_153535350-Rybnik-Svet-Trebon-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20220227_153535350-Rybnik-Svet-Trebon-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa9e244\" data-id=\"fa9e244\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab23faf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab23faf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6. 1. 2026<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68d87f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"68d87f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IREAS examined the potential and future of organic aquaculture within the context of Czech fisheries<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32b3231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32b3231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2025, the IREAS team conducted a thorough analysis of the potential and future of organic aquaculture in Czech fisheries. This analysis focused on evaluating the impact of significant European strategies on the aquaculture sector in the Czech Republic. This public contract was awarded by the Czech Ministry of Agriculture (the Managing Authority of the OP Fisheries). The analysis included an evaluation of the current state of organic aquaculture, an identification of potential risks and opportunities for its growth, and a proposal of specific measures to promote its sustainable development. The aim was to provide recommendations to enable the more effective implementation of organic principles and support the sustainable development of the entire aquaculture sector in accordance with European and national goals.

The &#8220;Lost Millennials&#8221; project, funded by the EEA and Norway Grants for Youth Employment, is implemented to support the work inclusion of the 25+ NEETs group (i.e., people over 25 years old who are not preparing for a future profession and are unemployed).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The newsletter reports on all consortium members&#8217; transnational meetings in 2021 and 2022 in Bodo, Norway and Burgos, Spain. At these meetings, members could participate in workshops and training sessions on evaluation, how to evaluate initiatives and other cross-cutting topics. IREAS led a training session on an introduction to evaluation during the June meeting in Bodo, which was essential for the follow-up activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, during the summer months, a mapping of initiatives to support 25+ NEETs in each partner country was carried out under the guidance of IREAS. This was followed up during the autumn with a search for evaluations on the previously mapped initiatives. At the turn of 2022 and 2023, a &#8220;synthesis report&#8221; was conducted under the auspices of IREAS to summarise the main findings based on the mappings carried out in the member countries by each partner.\u00a0 This report is being finalised, with IREAS working closely with the Slovak SBA. The information on evaluation practices will be available soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">More information about the project and other outputs from the project can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/lostmillennials.eu\/\">https:\/\/lostmillennials.eu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-2619\" data-post-id=\"2619\" >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"1223\" class=\"elementor elementor-1223\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e306e5f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default aktualita-term-id-6\" data-id=\"e306e5f\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"2619\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fb587e elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"3fb587e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06a7727 zmensit-obr elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"06a7727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Rybarstvi_aktualita-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2616\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Rybarstvi_aktualita-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Rybarstvi_aktualita-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Rybarstvi_aktualita-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Rybarstvi_aktualita-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Rybarstvi_aktualita-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa9e244\" data-id=\"fa9e244\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab23faf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab23faf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">31. 8. 2022<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68d87f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"68d87f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IREAS HELPS TO PREPARE CONDITIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CZECH OP FISHERIES 2021-2027<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32b3231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32b3231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the first half of this year, IREAS implemented\u00a0two important contracts for the Czech Ministry of Agriculture, specifically for the Managing Authority of the Operational Programme Fisheries.

Ji\u0159ina J\u00edlkov\u00e1, CSc., departed from her great academic family on 21 June 2022. IREAS had the privilege to belong to that family for many years. She adopted many of us, showed us the way and supported us in major moments of our work and private lives. She knew how to motivate us, connect us in interesting ways, and dispatch us towards more independence at the key moment. We will never stop being grateful to her for that.<\/p>\n<p>It was hard to earn her respect. Once you got it, though, you could be sure of her continuous support and, to a certain extent, even protection. That empowered us to enter shaky ground and ultimately led to better results and strengthening of the whole team.<\/p>\n<p>As Svatopluk \u010cech wrote in his poem Dosti n\u00e1s, \u201cA low aimer will aim low\u201d. Those who knew Ji\u0159ina understand that this was not her case. Throughout her life, she aimed high, showing the way for many of us, although it was sometimes difficult to follow that path. However, it was always a path forward, promising something new, original, often controversial, but always forward. Treading water, absence of a vision, or even reactionism irritated Ji\u0159ina.<\/p>\n<p>Ji\u0159ina was uncomfortably frequently right. She was a visionary and was excellent at sizing up people, their qualities and limits. Her words often sounded improbable at first, sometimes everything spoke against them, but they came true sooner or later. All the same, she never had the urge to emphasize \u201cI told you\u201d, even if people around her would have deserved it.<\/p>\n<p>She died suddenly during a business trip in Austria, doing what she did with enthusiasm all her life: educating a new generation of young, internationally successful people, many of whom now rank among important figures of scientific and social life.<\/p>\n<p>Ji\u0159ina, we will all miss you much!<\/p>\n<p>IREAS team<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-1424\" data-post-id=\"1424\" >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"1223\" class=\"elementor elementor-1223\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e306e5f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default aktualita-term-id-6\" data-id=\"e306e5f\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"1424\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fb587e elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"3fb587e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06a7727 zmensit-obr elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"06a7727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"369\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/aktualita_cli.jpg__369x225_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1401\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/aktualita_cli.jpg__369x225_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg 369w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/aktualita_cli.jpg__369x225_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa9e244\" data-id=\"fa9e244\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab23faf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab23faf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1. 6. 2022<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68d87f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"68d87f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IREAS EVALUATED THE CZECH-POLISH INTERREG PROGRAMME 2021-2027 IN THE CONTEXT OF MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE CHANGE<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32b3231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32b3231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In April 2022, IREAS experts evaluated the forthcoming <strong>Interreg Czechia-Poland Programme 2021-2027<\/strong> in terms of its setting and reflection of climate action. The evaluation is being carried out for the European Commission (DG Clima) in a framework evaluation contract coordinated by the evaluation companies COWI A\/S (Denmark) and M&amp;E Factory GmbH (Austria). IREAS centrum, Ltd. is fulfilling partial activities of this project for the Czech Republic in the form of subcontracting.<\/p>\n<p>The Operational Programme (Interreg VI-A) Czech-Poland identifies the key development challenges and policy needs of cross-border cooperation, with attention given at the beginning of the document to the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic for key sectors of the economy of the cross-border regions. It then specifies new issues related to the European Green Deal strategy and relevant needs for further development. The programme foresees that scenarios may recur in the reduction of socio-economic life in society due to further pandemic waves of Covid-19 disease variants. One of the affected sectors is tourism, which has been affected by the temporary border closures in 2020 and 2021 and the anti-epidemic measures in both countries. This has resulted in an increase in unemployment and structural problems in the Czech and Polish economies. Therefore, it will be necessary to diversify the economy of the border areas (i.e. support small and medium-sized enterprises), further develop the service sector, especially in the hard-hit tourism sector. The programme&#8217;s background further emphasises the potential for economic transformation within the framework of the above-mentioned European strategy. The contribution of the evaluated border regions to the ambitious objectives will mainly be to promote biodiversity, combat pollution and move towards a circular economy. Climate change poses new challenges for cross-border crisis management measures. Overcoming historical stereotypes between the Czech and Polish communities remains a long-term priority of the programme.<\/p>\n<p>The evaluation provided a number of partial recommendations for refining or even complementing the intervention areas, as the individual specific objectives describe the measures with varying degrees of detail. Despite the clear specificities of the programme in its focus, it was recommended to reinforce some climate expenditure, e.g. to support climate-neutral tourism models in the context of climate action options (e.g. eco-innovations, environmentally friendly technologies in tourism, or activities focusing on forms of digitisation of transport linked to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-1427\" data-post-id=\"1427\" >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"1223\" class=\"elementor elementor-1223\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e306e5f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default aktualita-term-id-6\" data-id=\"e306e5f\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"1427\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fb587e elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"3fb587e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06a7727 zmensit-obr elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"06a7727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"369\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/aktualita_cli.jpg__369x225_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1409\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/aktualita_cli.jpg__369x225_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale-1.jpg 369w, https:\/\/www.ireas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/aktualita_cli.jpg__369x225_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale-1-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa9e244\" data-id=\"fa9e244\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab23faf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab23faf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">18. 1. 2022<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68d87f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"68d87f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IREAS evaluated the Croatian Competitiveness and Cohesion Programme 2021-2027 in the context of mainstreaming climate change<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32b3231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32b3231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>IREAS experts evaluated the forthcoming\u00a0<strong>Competitiveness and Cohesion Programme 2021-2027<\/strong>\u00a0at the end of November and beginning of December 2021 in terms of its setting and reflection of climate action. The main reason for this evaluation by the Czech experts was the workload of the national evaluators in Croatia in evaluating other programmes for the new period. IREAS experts agreed to provide exceptional assistance in this evaluation, which is being carried out for the\u00a0<strong>European Commission (DG Clima)<\/strong>\u00a0in a framework evaluation contract coordinated by the evaluation companies\u00a0<strong>COWI A\/S (Denmark)\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Metis GmbH (Austria)<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>IREAS centrum, s.r.o.\u00a0<\/strong>is fulfilling partial activities of this project for the Czech Republic in the form of subcontracting, however, it can also assist other EU Member States with its evaluation capacities.<\/p>\n<p>The main objective of the programme is to strengthen the economy through digital and green transition, digitise public administration, improve connectivity and mobility throughout the Republic of Croatia and enhance the quality of life of the population. Socio-economic development and environmental protection in Croatia are significantly addressed by EU funds. The COVID-19 pandemic and two devastating earthquakes have significantly changed the pace of economic recovery after the Great Depression and led to a recession in 2020. The pandemic has clearly shown the lack of diversification of the economy and the predominance of low-productivity sectors, making the economy particularly vulnerable to external shocks. The structure of the economy is characterised by a significant share of services and a dependence on tourism, which have suffered heavily from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the relatively weak public finances and the need to tackle public debt, there is great potential for the use of EU funds.<\/p>\n<p>The programme is very complex and consists of a total of 19 specific objectives, 9 of which have clearly defined climate spending. The programme as a whole is well aligned in its specific objectives and is also balanced in terms of the financial allocations set. However, the evaluation made a number of partial recommendations for the addition of intervention areas, as the individual specific objectives describe a number of measures with varying degrees of detail, but some of them are not sufficiently covered by climate relevant intervention areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mainstreaming of climate change mitigation and adaptation in European Regional Development Fund and Cohesion Fund Programmes 2021-2027 Lot 1 (Contract number: CLIMA.A.3\/C.3.C.1\/SER\/2019\/0014)<\/strong><br \/>\n<u>Contracting authority:<\/u>\u00a0European Commission<br \/>\n<u>Implementer:<\/u>\u00a0COWI A \/ S (Denmark); Metis GmbH (Austria),\u00a0IREAS centrum, s. r. o. fulfills partial activities of this project for the Czech Republic in the form of subcontracting.<br \/>\n<u>Contact:<\/u>\u00a0Assoc.

Over the past years, we were working on the restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services of the Beskydy forests, which are threatened by climate change. In the project, we investigated not only the perception of risks associated with climate change by local governments, residents, entrepreneurs and other organizations, but also the perception of individual benefits of forest stands. Based on these findings, we proposed the most appropriate adaptation measures and steps to mitigate the impacts of climate change. These actions were directed not only towards sustainable forest management and water management in forests, but also towards the support of biodiversity and ways to protect valuable natural sites. Designing institutional arrangements for cooperation among key actors was also an integral part of this. In the project, together with our partners from CzechGlob and NLZ Zvolen, we also developed a web-map application which, through interactive simulations, enables plotting expected climate development in the Beskydy area in the coming decades and its impacts on forests in this transboundary area. The application Beskydy Forests and Climate Change provides forecasts of future development of climate, biodiversity, forests and ecosystem services for the period 2020-2080. The application can also simulate the estimated impacts of climate change on species composition, carbon accumulation, biodiversity, aesthetic and economic value of the forest for four alternative ways of forest management and two different climate development scenarios considered.<br \/>\nThe NLC colleagues also developed a pilot project for the transformation of the same-aged spruce forest to a different-aged quasi-natural forest at the Velk\u00fd Polom project. The aim of the pilot project is to practically demonstrate the most progressive ways of forest adaptation to climate change.
