In its response, ACR+ highlights several key recommendations. These include robust capacity building and technical assistance for local authorities to meet Green Deal requirements, transparent certification processes to ensure genuine consultation with LRAs, and a structured dialogue between the EU and local and regional leaders to integrate their insights into policy decisions. Additionally, ACR+ advocates for sustainable consumption and production practices, such as making green products and food more affordable and implementing the polluter pays principle to reward eco-friendly behaviours. These measures aim to drive a just and inclusive transition towards a sustainable future.
