Deliverables

Operational Policy Guidelines

Operational guide for the design and implementation of cost-effective management, planning and adaptation decisions by the public sector, businesses and industry. The operational guide will include a (i) library/catalogue of effective eco-innovation policies, developed in cooperation with WP 4, and a (ii) decision-tree support tool building on the lessons learnt within WPs 2 and 3. The operational guide will deliver clear policy-orientations for mainstreaming eco-innovation into broader green-economy and sustainability decision-making processes. It will focus on the same scales of policy intervention and categories of end-users mapped by Task 5.1, targeting those end-users dealing with the design and practical implementation of eco-innovation policies.
