(16) To ensure its contribution to the objectives of the Facility, the recovery and resilience plan should comprise measures for the implementation of reforms and public investment projects through a coherent recovery and resilience plan. The recovery and resilience plan should be consistent with the relevant country- specific challenges and priorities identified in the context of the European Semester, with the national reform programmes, the national energy and climate plans, the just transition plans, and the partnership agreements and operational programmes adopted under the Union funds. To boost actions that fall within the priorities of the European Green Deal and the Digital Agenda, the plan should also set out measures that are relevant for the fair green and digital transitions. The measures should enable reduction of emissions, a swift deliver of targets, objectives and contributions set out in national energy and climate plans and updates thereof. AWhile ensuring that the costs of the measures will not put an additional burden on those Member States at risk of energy and economic poverty, all supported activities should be pursued in full respect of the digital, climate and environmentalsustainable priorities of the Union.
