The webinar ‘Landscape, democracy in the European Union’ aims to bridge knowledge gaps between the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, relevant EU policies, programmes and instruments in the fields of environment and regional development. This module is funded by the Jean-Monnet-Programme of the European Union. After successful completion of the course, learners are expected to have developed: a holistic understanding of the EU’s overall vision and strategic goals, knowledge of how EU environmental policies are made, knowledge of how the EU’s environmental policy links to related but equally relevant policy fields, in particular agriculture and rural development, regional and urban policy and climate action, knowledge of how EU policy is related to and complementing with other international/European policy actors in the field of environment/landscape and sustainable development, knowledge of European instruments and funding schemes for sustainable development, competence to link a local landscape context to the EU’s policy framework and to conceive sustainable solutions that make constructive use of EU instruments and funding schemes (such as Life+ and Interreg projects, Natural Capital Financing Facility, Green direct payments for farmers) - Online registration until 31 March 2020: http://www.eu-ladder.eu
