    a draft opinion that requests adequate resources for local and regional authorities to
    implement environment policies on the ground.
  • From a local and regional perspective, what priorities should the 8th Environment Action Programme focus on?
  • The 8th Environment Action Programme,alongside the six priority objectives described in the proposal, reflect the objectives and expectations of local and regional leaders.
  • In this context, a better link between health and environment is both fundamental and necessary.
  • We need to ensure that the 8th EAP contributes to a toxic-free environment, provides better living standards for people and creates communities that are more resilient.
  • We must also ensure that the 8th EAP promotes a sustainable business environment and fosters green investments at all levels (EU, national, regional and local).
  • How can the new EAP ensure better integration of environment and climate prerogatives with other EU sectoral policies?
  • Integrating environment and climate with other EU sectoral policies more effectively is not always easy, as different sectors have different priorities.
  • Concerning the impact of COVID-19 on the environment agenda, is it a barrier or an opportunity to speed up action?
  • It goes without saying that COVID-19 should be treated as an opportunity to accelerate the environment agenda.
