Assessment of Options to Use Financial Instruments through LIFE Climate Action Sub-Programme 2014-2020

Under this service contract it was expected to provide services in connection with the following:

(1) Assess the climate dimensions of all relevant Community policies;

(2) Contribute to the development and implementation of cost-effective international and

domestic policies to protect the ozone layer;

(3) Support international negotiations on climate change and ozone-depleting substances;

(4) Assist the EU in setting and meeting its targets for 2020 and beyond to reduce greenhouse

gas emissions and assess the impacts of possible policy options, including the

establishment of robust and transparent EU-wide monitoring, reporting and verification

(MRV) systems;

(5) Contribute to developing and implementing the EU emissions trading system and its links

with other carbon trading systems as well as developing and monitoring the

implementation of Member States’ emission reduction targets in sectors outside the EU

ETS;

(6) Assess the development and demonstration of low-carbon and adaptation technologies,

especially through the development and implementation of cost-effective regulatory

frameworks for their deployment (e.g. carbon capture and storage, fluorinated gases,

ozone-depleting substances, vehicle efficiency standards, fuel quality standards) as well as

through the development of appropriate financial support schemes;

(7) Examine cost-effective options, strategies and policies for adaptation to climate change,

including targeted, dedicated adaptation as well as the assessment of mainstreaming

options for most relevant policy areas and corresponding legislation, at all levels (EU,

national, sub-national, territorial, etc.).
