Question for written answer E-002506/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Giuseppe Antoci (The Left)
The municipality of Borgo San Dalmazzo (Cuneo), located in a mountainous area near the French border and affected by extreme weather events like Storm Alex, has launched an initiative to create the ‘Cittadella a protezione del territorio delle Alpi Marittime’ (‘Citadel for the protection of the land in the Maritime Alps’). The aim is to host facilities for civil protection teams and the AIB volunteer corps[1].
At the same time, the municipality plans to run educational projects to promote legal awareness and active citizenship, aimed particularly at young people, through interinstitutional partnerships, including at cross-border level.
In the light of the above, can the Commission please answer the following:
- 1.Are there any EU programmes and/or structural funds that can support local initiatives to promote legal awareness and active citizenship in mountain communities?
- 2.Is there any funding for integrated projects for preventing hydrogeological instability, managing natural risks and enhancing natural capital in cross-border areas such as the Maritime Alps?
