9 ESTIMATE OF THE CARBON FOOTPRINT AND RESOURCE<br />
CONSUMPTION FOR IMPLEMENTATION PHASE<br />
A variety of climate control initiatives have been implemented both at EU and<br />
national levels. To reach the emission reductions set by the Kyoto Protocol, the<br />
European Commission launched the European Climate Change <strong>Programme</strong> in March<br />
2000. Under this umbrella, the Commission works with industry, environmental<br />
organisations and other stakeholders to identify cost-effective measures to reduce<br />
emissions.<br />
In order to contribute to these initiatives, the <strong>URBACT</strong> <strong>II</strong> programme has included,<br />
in the criteria for the assessment of projects, efforts proposed by the partners to<br />
mitigate impact on CO2 emissions. While acknowledging that face to face meetings<br />
are important in trans-national exchange and learning activities, a specific attention<br />
will be paid to checking if projects show special awareness regarding this issue.<br />

Efforts proposed to mitigate impact on CO 2 emissions:<br />
Generally we would like to highlight that one of the specific priorities of the <strong>URBACT</strong><br />
<strong>Programme</strong> is to enable and initiate exchange of experience and know-how between<br />
the participating partners making up the network, in which to a reasonable<br />
amount personal meetings are inevitable for the success of the activities.<br />
