(5 a) As part of the annual reporting, in accordance with Article 45 [Regulation establishing the Horizon Europe Framework Programme], the Commission should carry, a robust consolidation exercise to identify whether the Programme’s climate expenditures is on track to achieve the 50 % target. The Commission should provide information on the scale and results of support to the climate change objectives, differentiating between mitigation and adaptation as well as provide information on the climate contribution of relevant financial instruments, and make this publicly available. In accordance with the Court of Auditor Report 31/2016, particular attention should be paid to the contribution by the bottom-up parts of the Programme, where the share of bottom- up actions that can be considered climate- related depends upon researcher proposals. If the Programme is achieving less than 50% climate-relevant spending, the Commission will respond either by requiring a sharper focus on climate in the Work Programmes of Pillar 2, by soliciting climate-relevance in the proposals submitted under Pillar 1 or Pillar 3 or by moving budgets to parts of the Programme with proven climate- relevance from parts that are not.

Annex I – paragraph 1
The implementation of Horizon Europe's programme-level objectives in an integrated manner will be ensured by multiannual Strategic Planning. Such planning will provide the focus on impact for the Programme overall and coherence between its different pillars, as well as synergy with other EU programmes and support to and from other EU policies. is steered by an inclusive participatory and transparent strategic planning process of the research and innovation activities funded by the programme. The Strategic Planning process shall lead to the implementation of Horizon Europe's programme-level objectives thereby defining the funding priorities. It will provide focus on impact for the Programme and coherence between its different pillars, as well as synergy with other EU programmes and support to other EU policies and how to leverage additional private and public money. Notably, Strategic planning shall be consistent with the Paris Agreement and the Union’s climate related long-term objective and remaining carbon budget. The strategic planning process and the adoption of the strategic R&I plan through a delegated act shall increase ownership and understanding for the purpose of the programme by a wider public and will allow the co-legislators, stakeholders and Member States to be fully informed on the envisaged initiatives and to ensure that main European policies targets, are reflected in and supported by Horizon Europe, with adequate resources. The Strategic Planning will help to develop and implement policy for the relevant areas covered, at EU level as well as complementing policies in the Member States and ensuring a better coordination with the EU’s priorities. It will further take into account foresight activities, studies and other scientific evidence and take account of relevant existing initiatives at EU and national level. It will allow simplification of the funding landscape, avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities while leveraging additional private and public funding and promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results. In order to respond to these objectives, the Commission will launch a mandatory multi-stakeholder open consultation phase with Member States, the European Parliament, stakeholders, including civil society organisations, about the strategic priorities, under the Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness pillar, and the suitable types of instruments, including missions and the European partnerships. All partnerships and missions or any other strategic new initiative shall be identified in this Strategic R&I Plan and be subject to mandatory multi-stakeholder consultation before being implemented in work programmes. Results of consultation with Member States, the European Parliament and stakeholders shall be divulgated before any decision on future priorities, for each relevant area, is taken. The strategic planning will promote strong engagement with citizens and civil society both within the strategic planning process itself and at all other stages of research and innovation, including agenda-setting. To facilitate this, a structured dialogue will be established with civil society. The process will also promote the co-creation of knowledge,effective promotion of gender equality, including the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content, and will ensure and promote Responsible Research and Innovation and adherence to the highest ethics and integrity standards. As regards European partnerships, the Strategic R&I Plan will outline and give the rationale for the creation, merge and phasing out of the European partnerships. Future partnerships funded under the second pillar ‘Global societal challenges and a net-zero GHG emission economy’, will in particular be assessed in terms of their potential to help deliver the SDGs and the Union’s climate related long-term objective and remaining carbon budget in consistency with the Paris Agreement. Building on experience in Horizon 2020, the social sciences and the humanities will be fully integrated across all clusters and work programmes, and through the development of social sciences oriented calls and specific and dedicated activities. On-going and new KICs will be defined in the legislative proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and the Council on the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda. Nevertheless, the creation of any new KIC should be subject to an additional and adequate funding, allowing the existing KICs to develop the ecosystems, build partnerships and pursue and implement efficiently their ambitious objectives. 'FET Flagships' supported under Horizon will continue to be supported under the Programme. As they present substantial analogies with missions, other 'FET flagships', if any, maybe be supported under this Framework Programme as missions geared towards future and emerging technologies. The missions should strengthen the collaborative aspects of the Programme. Where appropriate, the strategic planning process shall assess in how far European partnerships could work as supporting implementation pillars of the missions. The missions will have technological and societal elements and will be defined in close cooperation with allrelevant stakeholders, including civil society, and DGs. The Strategic Planning will identify existing links between Horizon Europe and other Union Programmes, which offer possibilities for synergies between EUfunds. Horizon Europe will become a point of reference for research and innovation in all related programmes across the EU budget and non-funding instruments, in order to help deliver the EU’s political priorities and objectives. This will also promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results and avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities. It will provide the frame for linking the direct research actions of the Joint Research Centre and other actions supported under the Programme, including the use of results for support to policy.

The global research landscape is evolving dramatically and becoming increasingly multipolar as a result of a growing number of emerging countries, in particular China, expanding their scientific production. So whereas the EU and the United States accounted for nearly two-thirds of world expenditure on research and development in 2000, this share had fallen to less than half by 2013. The European Innovation Scoreboard 2018 confirmed that public R&D expenditures across the EU remains below 2010 levels and falls short in meeting the long-standing objective to devote 3% of GDP to R&D activities.

Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2
Europe is a scientific powerhouse with around 1.8 million researchers working in thousands of universities, research centres and world-leading companies. However, it is estimated that the EU will need to train and employ at least one million new researchers by 2027 in order to achieve the targets beings set for increased investment in research and innovation. This need is particularly acute in the non-academic sector. The EU must reinforce its efforts to entice more young women and men to a career in research, to attract researchers from third countries, retain its own researchers and reintegrate European researchers working elsewhere back to Europe. To achieve that goal, attention should be paid to schemes facilitating the balance between family and work life. Guaranteeing full gender equality in all sectors including science, technology and innovation is an essential condition for global economic development. In addition, in order to more widely spread excellence, the conditions under which researchers perform must be further improved throughout the European Research Area (ERA). In this respect, stronger links are needed notably with the European Education Area (EEdA), the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and European Social Fund (ESF+).

The overall aim is to endow Europe with world-class sustainable research infrastructures open and accessible to all researchers in Europe and beyond, which fully exploit their potential for scientific advance and innovation. Key objectives are to reduce the fragmentation of the research and innovation ecosystem, ensure continuous modernisation, avoiding duplication of effort, and better coordinate the development, accessibility and use of research infrastructures. Small and medium sized research infrastructures are very important to researchers but information on their location, accessibility policies and funding is poor. They need to be mapped, in order to unlock the potential of these research infrastructures for European research and innovation. It is crucial to support open access to research infrastructures for all European researchers as well as, through the European Open Science Cloud (hereafter 'EOSC'), increased access to digital research resources, specifically tackling the currently sub-optimal embracement of open science and open data practises. Equally, the EU needs to tackle the rapid increase of global competition for talent by attracting third country researchers to work with European world-class research infrastructures. Increasing the sustainability and competitiveness of European industry is also a major objective, supporting key technologies and services relevant for research infrastructures and their users, thus improving the conditions for supply of innovative solutions.

Annex I – part II – paragraph 5
Annex I – part II – paragraph 5
Research and innovation under this pillar of Horizon Europe is grouped into integrated clusters of activities. Rather than addressing sectors, the investments aim at systemic changes for our society and economy along a sustainability vector. These will only be achieved if all actors, both private and, public, and third sector engage in co- designing and co-creating research and innovation; bringing together end-users, researchers, scientists, technologists, producers, innovators, businesses, educators, citizens and civil society organisations. Therefore, none of the thematic clusters is intended for only one set of actors. Recognizing that civil society organisations are not traditional R&I actors, specific efforts will have to be made in order to ensure their participation in agenda-setting, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of this pillar.

Manufacturing is a key driver of employment and prosperity in the EU, producing over three quarters of the EU's global exports and providing over a 100 million direct and indirect jobs. The key challenge for EU manufacturing is to remainensure resource and energy efficient and sustainable scale up to enable industrial manufacturing of the future products and thereby combining sustainability and competitiveness at a global level with smarter and more customised products of high added value, produced at much lower energy costs. Creative and cultural inputs will be vital to help generate added value. Research and development need to look into new business and manufacturing models substituting current wasteful models and ensuring the preservation of the value embedded in products and material. Products and production processes need to become smarter, customised and more energy and resource-efficient creating less waste and pollution, combining highest quality with the highest environmental and sustainability standards and thereby standing out on the global market. Creative and cultural inputs, as well as perspectives from social sciences and humanities on the relation between technology and people in production will be vital to help generate added value. Research also needs to take account of environmental, societal and ethical concerns with regard to certain types of technologies and need to be addressed by developing assessment process including broad consultation of stakeholders.

Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 2
To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbnet-zero GHG emission, resource- and energy-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which industries produce, businesses and consumers behave and consume, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetussubstantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions in the energy system and the transport sector17 . Both the sectors need to undergo significant changes entailing a systematic approach and systematic innovation. New impetus are needed to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy. the phase-out of GHG emissions, increased use of renewable energies and energy savings, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials, including critical raw materials, and circular economy. Particular attention will be paid to ensuring sector coupling (i.e. of the electricity, heat and cooling, industry and transport sector) in all intervention areas, which is pivotal for a successful energy and transport transition. To achieve this, the Union will also foster participatory approaches to research and innovation, including the multi-actor approach and develop knowledge and innovation systems at local, regional, national and European levels. Insights from social sciences and humanities, social innovation with citizens' engagement and trust innovation will be crucial to encourage new governance models, production and consumption patterns. _________________ 17 Substantial decarbonisation of other sectors is addressed in other areas of the Horizon Europe Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness pillar.

The EU aims to be world leader in affordable, secure and sustainable renewable energy technologies improving its competitiveness in global value chains and its position in growth markets. Diverse climatic, geographical, environmental and socio- economic conditions in the EU as well as the need to save energy, ensure energy security and access to raw materials, dictate a broad portfolio of renewable energy solutions, including of non-technical nature. As regards renewable energy technologies, costs need to decrease further, performance must improve, integration into the energy system must be improved and breakthrough technologies need to be developed. As regards fossil fuels, decarbonising their usage will be essential to meet the climate objectivSignificant improvements need to be made on system integration. The energy transformation will challenge the EU to lead in developing solutions for an upgraded market design including the provision of grid and system services by renewables. The heating and cooling sector is still one of the most polluting sectors. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2018/844 leads the way for accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels as source of energy supply to heating and cooling towards renewable energy technologies and solutions. To achieve the necessary deployment levels of renewable energy technologies, costs need to decrease further and performance must improve which requires support for incremental research in advanced technologies. Furthermore, new breakthrough technologies need to be developed, while established technologies need to be improved. The phase-out of fossil fuels will be indispensable to meet the climate objectives. There is a pressing need to find solutions that further reduce entry barriers for renewables, including non-technical ones, in order to accelerate the market uptake of renewables.

The expected growth of variable renewable electricity production and shift towards more electric heating, cooling and transport dictates the need for new approaches to manage energy grids. Next to decarbonisationFuture electricity networks play a key role for the transition to a 100% renewables based highly energy efficient electricity system, while providing additional flexibility and cost benefits to consumers. Next to the reduction of GHG emissions, the goal is to ensure energy affordability, energy savings, security and stability of supply, achieved through investments in sector coupling and related innovative network infrastructure technologies and innovative system management. Energy storage in different forms will play a key role in providing services to the grid, also improving and reinforcing network capacities. Exploiting synergies between different networks (e.g. electricity grids, heating and cooling networks, bio-gas networks, transport recharging and refuelling infrastructure, renewables-based hydrogen, and telecom networks) and actors (e.g. industrial sites, data centres, self- producers), renewable energy communities) and increase demand- response will be crucial for enabling the smart, integrated operation of the relevant infrastructures.

Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 1
Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources as the factors of agricultural production include both renewable and non- renewable natural resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and inhibiting their capacity to provide services for human well-beingmaintaining human well- being in the long term. Any production system that degradates the natural will not be sustainable, nor productive in the long- term and therefore not competitive. A functioning and prosperous ecosystem is the very basis for all resource utilization. Recognising the large volume of well recognised existing scientific evidence on the link between degradation of the natural resource base, including biodiversity, and the functioning of natural and semi-natural ecosystems to provide essential services to society and acting on solutions proposed as a result of that science is crucial. The concepts of the circular economy, thagroecology, sustainable bioeconomy and the blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.

Resilient and sustainable farming and forestry systems provide economic, environmental and social benefits in a changing context for primary production. In addition to contributing to food and nutrition security, they feed into dynamic value chains, manage land and natural resources as well as deliver a range of vital public goods including carbon sequestrationtorage, biodiversity preservation, pollination, pest control and public health and wellbeing.. Integrated approaches are needed to promote the multiple functions of agro- and forest (eco)systems taking into account the changing context for primary production, notably in relation to climate and environment, resource availability, demography and consumption patterns. This presupposes acquiring a better scientific understanding of the impact of different farming systems on the preservation/loss of biodiversity and ecosystems and of the ecosystem services provided by different farming systems. It is also necessary to address the spatial and socio-economic dimension of agriculture and forestry activities and mobilise the potential of rural areas.

Organic and agroecological farming carry a high potential to achieve the SDGs. Therefore, Horizon Europe aims at up-scaling these farming practices. Currently, less than10% of the EU’s total agricultural land area is farmed organically. To allow up-scaling, the budget dedicated to research aimed specifically at agroecological approaches to benefit both organic and conventional systems shall be ring-fenced at 20% of the total budget spent on agriculture, forestry, rural areas and food systems. Particular focus shall be given to High Nature Value systems given their high biodiversity and cultural values; and identifying optimal routes to income diversification, retaining rural vitality and overall sustainability to ensure that all of its dimensions are coherently addressed.

Bio-based innovation lays the foundations for the transition away from a fossil-based economy by encompassing the sustainable sourcing, industrial processing and conversion of biomass from land and seawater into bio-based materials and products. It also capitalises on the potential of living resources, life sciences and industrial biotechnology for new discoveries, products and processes. Bio-based innovation, including technologies, can bring new economic activities and employment to regions and cities, contribute to revitalising rural and coastal economies and strengthen the circularity of the bioeconomy. Potential trade-offs between the various sources of biomass should be carefully assess, in particular ensuring that new uses of biomass does not jeopardise food production and security, not only in the EU but also in developing countries, does not lead to unsustainable land-use conversion or land grabbing practices.

Annex I – part III – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 1
To fully harness the potential of innovation involving researchers, entrepreneurs, industry and society at large, the EU must improve the environment within which innovation can flourish at all levels. This will mean contributing to the development of an effective innovation ecosystem at EU level, and encouraging cooperation, networking, and the exchange of ideas, developing open innovation processes, funding and skills among national and local innovation ecosystems.

Annex I – part III – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2
The EU must also aim to develop ecosystems that support social innovation, transfer of knowledge between small and big actors and public sector innovation, in addition to innovation in private enterprises. Indeed, tThe government sector must innovate and renew itself in order to be able to support the changes in regulation and governance required to support the large-scale deployment of new technologies and a growing public demand for the more efficient and effective delivery of services. Social innovations are crucial to enhance the welfare of our societiesIn this work, the special needs of different groups should be considered as well as universal design, which means that products, goods and services can be used by anyone, regardless of age, size, ability or disability. Social innovations are crucial to enhance the welfare of our societies. As the Union’s largest innovation network, the EIT will play an important role in the implementation of this priority. The EIT connects national and regional innovation ecosystems via its Innovation Communities (KICs). They make the case for desired interregional cooperation by linking innovation ecosystems on a pan- European scale. KICs should therefore be used as the basis for the further development of the ecosystems, especially in the fields covered by the activity of the KICs. The latter shall benefit in such cases from an additional and adequate funding allowing the efficient implementation of this goal.

The EIT will play a reinforced role in strengthening sustainable innovation ecosystems across Europe providing solutions to the most pressing global challenges our societies are facing, as embodied by the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. In particular, the EIT will continue to operate primarily through its Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), the large- scale European partnerships that address specific societal challenges. The creation of new KICs as well as its timing must be carefully considered not to undermine the efficiency and sustainability of the existing ones and should therefore be accompanied by additional funding. It will continue to strengthen innovation ecosystems around them, by fostering the integration of research, innovation and education. Furthermore, EIT will contribute to bridge existing gaps in innovation performance across Europe by expanding its Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS). The EIT will work with innovation ecosystems that exhibit high innovation potential based on strategy, thematic alignment and impact, in close synergy with Smart Specialisation Strategies and Platforms.

Meanwhile, there is a growing disparity in Europe between the innovation-leading and the innovation-lagging regions. Change is needed if Europe as a whole is to capitalise on excellence from across the continent, maximise the value of public and private investments, and their impacts on productivity, economic growth, job creation and well-beingthe transition to a net zero-GHG emission economy and the entailing multiple economic, social and environmental benefits to European citizens. Societal engagement is a widely recognised key component of Responsible Research and Innovation and essential to ensuring societal impact. Citizens and civil society actors (such as non-governmental organisations, e.g. environment and health NGOs) are two different target groups of RRI’s vision of societal engagement in R&I.

In addition, research and innovation are seen by some as distant and elitist without clear benefits for citizens, instilling attitudes that hamper the creation and uptake of innovative solutions, and scepticism about evidence-based public policies. This requires bodeveloping and testing solutions to improve meaningful societal engagement, in particular addressing the barriers to societal engagement, along with better linkages between scientists, citizens and policy- makers, and more robust approaches to pooling scientific evidence itself.
