Sustainable environment. 1.1.1 Development of the landscape in order to create a more sustainable and valuable envi- ronment and more attractive natural locations for ecotourism (traditional land use forms, unique landscape values, minor reforestations) SecOP (KEOP): Similar activities are suppor- ted but only on protected and NATURA 2000 areas. West Transdanubia ROP supports the pre- servation of cultural heritage natural areas for touristic purposes, but the agricultural and forestry aspect is not mentioned.

Sustainable environment. The pillar II specifically addresses the needs and opportunities to remediate and repurpose the industrial sites of the mining and energy company. A total of seven industrial areas have been identified in the Upper Nitra region, which are in some way marked by previous activities in mining and energy. These areas will have to undergo a proper transformation in order to serve the development of the region in the near future. In addition, the region faces the need to redevelop the energy sector after the phase-out of the coal-fired Nováky power plant, when new sources of heating will be needed. Another issue is related to the energy poverty. According to independent studies assessing the current state of public and residential buildings in the region there is a high potential for energy savings, which is greater than 50% of current consumption. The pillar II will support the measures helping to remediate the negative environmental impact of the mining and coal- fired energy generation in the region and to support new sustainable energy solutions in line with the objectives of the transition to climate neutrality. The aim of the measures is to redevelop the current industrial areas for a new use, which could include redevelopment of xxxxxxxxxx industrial parks into new commercial or residential zones, zones with a recreational or cultural function (preserving the industrial technical heritage), or an agriculture function. The aim of the intervention is also focused on support of new opportunities in new emerging sectors and technologies, such as hydrogen production and energy storage, which could utilise the existing industrial infrastructure present in the region, redeveloped industrial areas and enable further development of sustainable railway and local public transportation in the region. The measures of energy efficiency projects are closely linked to a possible increase in the share of RES in the new district heating project. Expected results:  reduced risk of energy poverty and increased energy efficiency of public and other buildings;  remediation of environmental burdens and other negative environmental impacts and to reutilisation of land that is currently not utilised due to mining activities;  enhanced circular economy;  increased share of RES in the final energy consumption and the use of hydrogen;  increased promotion of sustainable local transport.

Sustainable environment. The aim of the pillar II is to contribute in addressing the region’s major challenges in terms of low exploitation of the potential in RES, high level of pollution, gaps in circular economy practices, low energy efficiency of buildings and the increasing number of abandoned industrial sites. The challenges of the region will be covered by activities focused on promoting the circular economy and energy production from RES, including support for the production of green hydrogen. The supported activities, which will lead to elimination of environmental burdens and impacts caused by coal combustion, consist of supporting conversion and restoration of polluted areas and sites from industrial and energy sector. The activities will be also focused on the reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the energy efficiency of buildings and support for local electric and zero emission mobility. The measures specifically address the need to react to the phase out of fossil fuel power and heat generation in the region, where the created gap in energy production can be closed by a combination of energy efficiency interventions and utilisation of the renewable energy potential (geothermal, solar). At the same time, the measures focus on supporting smart measures and innovative solutions for increasing the energy efficiency of buildings and the intelligent use of energy resources in cities and region. In addition, coal phase-out will create opportunities for land rehabilitation and xxxxxxxxxx redevelopment of the industrial site of the power plant Vojany. The projects will create both temporary and sustainable jobs and thus partially compensate for the job losses in the declining climate-intensive industries. Further, investments in innovative decarbonisation projects and hydrogen projects in the region will create additional new jobs in new economic sectors. The measures have a strategic importance for further diversification and modernisation of the local economy from the industrial activities, increasing the attractiveness of the region for youth and improving the quality of life. Expected results:  increased use of RES and the use of hydrogen;  reduced vulnerability to energy poverty by improving the energy efficiency of public and other buildings;  remediation and revitalisation of environmental impacts caused by coal-based power and heat generation.

Sustainable environment. The region faces a risk of energy poverty. The region has a potential to reduce heat consumption in public buildings in the region by up to 70%. Therefore, the potencial for increasing energy efficiency in buildings is significant. Moreover, the region has a potential to reduce CO2 emissions within transport sector which has the highest share of emission of sectors not included in the ETS. The region is one of the most polluted regions of Slovakia and some districts have significant issues with air pollution, driven by industry transport and the burning of solid fuels. The CO2 emissions solely in the transport sector are forecast to increase in the period 2020 - 2030 by 0,05 to 0,17 million tonnes under different scenarios. Thus, the measures are focused on support for the implementation of local projects of electric and zero emission mobility, which could contribute to GHG emissions savings in the transport sector. The measure will focus on local mobility (intracity transport), for example on the introduction of ecological vehicles in public transport, infrastructure for the electric mobility or projects supporting alternative modes of transport, such as cycling. The measures will aim to support modernization projects in energy efficiency, the promotion of RES including the use of biomass and innovation within energy and industry sectors. The measures are focused on improvement of the environment and mitigation of the climate impacts, quality of life and to decrease its carbon footprint from other non-ETS sectors, since the current potential to reduce the CO2 emissions from ETS installations by 2030 without a greater technological uptake is rather limited due to decarbonisation of emitters in the recent past. Expected results:  increased use of alternative modes of transport;  improved energy efficiency of public buildings;  improved utilisation of the potential of the region in the use of RES, including biomass as alternative energy sources leading to reduced vulnerability to energy poverty;  remediation of environmental burdens caused by industrial production;  increased use of green technologies in tourism leading to the implementation of the concept of sustainable tourism.
