As part of the implementation of the European Green Living Areas governance project, within the Interreg Euro-MED programme, the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Area, represented by Bernard MASSABO and Alison TORTI, took part on 19 and 20 March, in Krakow, in the “Let’s cooperate!” event organised by the Interreg Europe programme, focusing on the “Policy Learning Platform” developed by this programme.

This tool brings together good practices and public policies developed as part of European projects, so that they can be shared and appropriated by other interested stakeholders.

For example, as part of the Blue Green City project conducted by the Metropole from 2019 to 2022, the Metropole was able to contribute to the Policy Learning Platform by highlighting one of its best practices developed by the Environment Department: the creation of a black grid. The project also succeeded in changing regional policy, take into account nature-based solutions, not only as a way of mitigating climate change, but also as a way of adapting to climate change, in future calls for projects proposed by the French southern Region.

Based on this experience with the Interreg Europe programme, we have taken the initiative of asking the Interreg Europe programme to open up its platform to other European programmes, in particular Interreg Euro-MED, so that the Green Living Areas project can benefit from the good practices existing on the platform, and also contribute to enriching the platform with the project’s current and future results.
