Best regional strategies on Climate Change mitigation and adaptation

Climate change has become a central EU policy with two recent founding initiatives: on the one hand, the European Commission published on 29 June 2007 a Green Paper entitled "Adapting to climate change in Europe - options for EU actions". The second event is the G8 Summit conclusions, which addresses solutions to environmental questions through the promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility.

The AER Committee 1 has recently launched a new working group on climate change. Its objectives will be, in addition to answering the European Commission's consultation on the recent green paper (the answer is available here), to highlight the role of regions in this area by putting together regional best practices contributing to limit climate change through mitigation measures.

Therefore, we warmly invite you to take part in our debate on climate change.

Does your Region have any experience in the field of climate change? Has it adopted any specific policy with relation to this issue? Or maybe it has established a climate change action plan setting out a path to tackle this challenge?
