The Thematic Programme for Environment and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources including Energy (ENRTP) helps developing countries and partner organizations to address environmental and natural resource management issues.
This programme complements targeted actions from geographical programmes by focusing on actions that foster innovation, stimulate cross country experience sharing and target EU policy priorities. The ENRTP is part of the EU’s response to help countries tackle the increasing environmental challenges
The ENRTP is part of the EU’s response to help countries tackle the increasing environmental challenges and contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal on environment. Through the ENRTP, the EU has dedicated resources to help developing countries and partner organizations address environmental and natural resource management issues and meet their obligations under Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) and to take international policy leadership.
The ENRTP Strategy Paper for the period 2011-2013 builds on the 2007-2010 Strategy (Decision C/2007/2572) and the mid-term review that was carried out in 2009. It was approved by the Commission on the 21 December 2010, and provides an indicative amount available for the period 2011-2013 of approximately €517 million. Reflecting the recommendations from the mid-term review, the new Strategy is centered on better structured environmental and natural resource management issues. The Strategy addresses several problems which have a profound effect on social and economic development, particularly on the lives of poor people, including climate change, rapidly degrading ecosystems, poor global environmental governance and lack of access to and security of energy supply. It contributes to achieving all the MDGs, by promoting environmental sustainability, protecting human health and boosting resilience to climate change, as well as creating conditions for sustainable food and energy security.
