Recital 3
(3) The Programme should aim at supporting climate change, environmentally and socially sustainable projects and, where appropriate, climate change mitigation and adaptation actions. In particular, the contribution of the Programme to achieving the goals and objectives of the Paris Agreement as well as the proposed 2030 climate and energy targets and long-term decarbonisation objective should be reinforced. In order to reach Union´s targets and commitments to tackle climate change, the Programme encourages modal shift to sustainable modes of transport.

(4) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with Union’s commitments to implement the Paris Agreement, and the commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Regulation should therefore mainstream climate action and lead to the achievement of an overall target of 25% of the EU budget expenditures supporting climate objectives18 . Actions under this Programme are expected to contribute 60% of the overall financial envelope of the Programme to climate objectives, while ensuring that the remaining 40% of the overall financial envelope does not contradict to the climate objectives, based inter alia on the following Rio markers: i) 100% for the expenditures relating to railway infrastructure, alternative fuelsrenewable fuels or zero- emission transport, clean urban transport, electricity transmission, electricity storage, smart grids, CO2 transportation and renewable energy; ii) 40% for inland waterways and multimodal transport, and gas infrastructure - if enabling increased use of renewable hydrogen or bio-methane. Relevant actions will be identified during the Programme's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes. In order to prevent that infrastructure is vulnerable to potential long term climate change impacts and to ensure that the cost of greenhouse gas emissions arising from the project is included in the project's economic evaluation, all projects supported by the Programme should be subject to climate proofing in accordance with guidance that should be developed by the Commission coherently with the guidance developed for other programmes of the Union where relevant. __________________ 18 COM(2018) 321, page 13 COM(2018) 321, page 13

(9) In order to reflect growing transport flows and the evolution of the network, the alignment of the core network corridors and their pre-identified sections and their capacity should be adapted. These adaptations to the core network should not affect its completion by 2030 and should be proportionate in order to preserve the consistency and the efficiency of the corridor development and coordination. For that reason the length of the core network corridors should not increase by more than 15%. Evolutions on the comprehensive network must be monitored and assessed in order to guarantee the relevance of the sections.

(9) In order to reflect growing transport flows and the evolution of the networko ensure better connectivity of core ports and cross-border projects, the alignment of the core network corridors and their pre-identified sections should be adapted. The adaptations would secure a timely implementation of the TEN-T Core Network and assure that the 9 core network corridors cover the whole of the European Union. In addition, these adaptations should be proportionate in order to preserve the consistency and the efficiency of the corridor development and coordination. For that reason the length of the core network corridors should not increase by more than 15%.
