The RSES is a 12-year strategic development framework for the spatial, economic&social development of the Southern Region aiming to implement Project Ireland 2040 & the National Planning Framework (NPF) at regional level. It includes Metropolitan Area Strategic Plans to guide the development of the three cities of Cork, Limerick&Waterford & their peripheral areas.
The RSES vision is to:
- Nurture places to realise their full potential
- Protect & enhance our environment
- Successfully combat climate change
- Achieve economic prosperity & improved quality of life for all our citizens
- Accommodate growth & development in suitable locations
- To become one of Europe’s most creative, innovative, greenest & liveable regions.
The RSES priority is to achieve balanced regional development & full implementation of the NPF. As the regional tier of the national planning process, the RSES ensures coordination between local®ional government & national policy.
The Planning & Development Act 2000 requires that all 10 Local Authorities’ City & County Development Plans Local Transport Plans & Local Enterprise & Community Plans are consistent with the RSES & relevant national policy, with draft development plans & variations referred to the SRA for their observations. SRA is a prescribed body under the Planning & Development Act 2000 & must be consulted in relation to certain planning matters as specified in the Act. These requirements endure under new Planning & Development Bill 2023.

The Regional Innovation Strategy for Mazovia until 2030 (RIS) establishes a strategic framework to foster enterprise innovation in the region. It functions as:
- a smart specialisation strategy that meets the criteria outlined in the "Guide on Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3)" and complies with the general regulations governing EU funds for 2021-2027.
- an extension of the Development Strategy of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship until 2030 ‘Innovative Mazovia’, focusing on enhancing regional competitiveness and innovation.
The strategy outlines the regional innovation ecosystem aimed at boosting enterprise innovation. It implements i.a Measure 3.9. Constant monitoring and analysis of trends in the field of new technologies, business models and industrial transformation of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship for the needs of the entrepreneurial discovery process. Issues related to climate change are particularly in line with the smart specialisation area "modern business ecosystem", striving to limit the negative impact between economic activity and its surroundings. They also partially connect with other areas: "intelligent systems in industry and infrastructure" (through the diversification of energy sources and energy storage themes), "high quality of life" (through issues related to health and safety) and "safe food" (regarding the impact of climate change on crops and breeding).

The "City of Sea 2030 Strategy" is a policy instrument aimed at transforming Las Palmas de Gran Canaria into a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive urban coastal city. Its main objective is to strengthen the city's connection with the sea while promoting environmental protection, economic development, and social well-being in harmony with marine ecosystems.
The strategy focuses on:
1. Sustainable Urban Development: It aims to integrate the coastal and marine environment into the city's urban planning.
2. Climate Adaptation and Resilience: with strong emphasis on adapting to climate change, especially the impacts of rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and extreme weather events. It seeks to enhance the city's resilience through infrastructural improvements and nature-based solutions.

3. Blue Economy and Marine Resources: by promoting sustainable use and planning of maritime spaces, creating new business opportunities, and fostering innovation in sectors such as maritime technology, sustainable tourism, and marine conservation.

4. Public Awareness and Citizen Engagement: boosting an active public participation in the protection of the marine environment through education, awareness campaigns, and citizen-driven initiatives.

The core priority of the "City of Sea 2030 Strategy" is to create a city that is not only resilient to climate impacts but also a model for sustainable urban coastal development, fostering a balance between environmental, economic, and social dimensions.

The RP ERDF Sardinia 2021-2027 foresees a number of objectives including:
- Smart Competitiveness
- Digital Transition
- Green Transition
- Sustainable Urban Mobility
- Sardinia more social and inclusive
- Sustainable and integrated Urban and Territorial development

The RP has among its priorities that of ensuring the sustainability of the regional growth process by adhering to the challenge of a green transition. This priority covers the issues of energy, pollution reduction, climate and environmental risks, resource management and the circular economy, nature protection and biodiversity.

The objective of the Green transition: foresees promoting the reduction of the concentration of pollutants in the air and greenhouse gas emissions and subsequently climate and environmental risks.

This objective is achieved through a series of measures including:
- adhering to a decarbonisation plan to contribute to the 2030 and 2050 climate objectives.
- promoting the use of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, marine, and more efficient consumption of energy resources, especially in the industries and businesses.

In this filed, the PR strategy also hinges on the Smart Specialization Strategy (S3), as a strategic framework for R&D&I policies and research of actions aimed at climate change.

The objective of the support measure "Technological Development Projects" is to enhance collaboration between the science and business sectors through joint projects that foster sustainable partnerships, aligning with the goals of the Lithuanian Smart Specialization Strategy. This measure aims to support projects focused on developing new market products, services, or their prototypes based on intellectual activities originating from research and academic institutions. It encourages the active participation of PhD students and young researchers, particularly those whose research themes align with the project goals, and promotes private sector investment in research and experimental development (R&D) activities. The target groups for this measure include Lithuanian science and research institutions in collaboration with SMEs. Funded activities encompass applied research starting from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 and extend to experimental development, aiming for projects to achieve at least TRL 6, which involves the development of a prototype or pilot version. This support measure is designed to drive innovation and sustainable development, by fostering cutting-edge research and facilitating the practical application of scientific advancements in various industries.
