Effective legal instruments &amp; methods must be further aligned to harmonise accelerated energy transition &amp; biodiversity protection by provision of a sound legal basis for assessment-based decisions support to planning &amp; approval authorities within the EU. To achieve 2050 EU climate neutrality &amp;, according to the latest drafts of the national energy &amp; climate plans of the participating regions, solar energy plays a decisive role in this transition. Increased PV implementation leads to increased land use, a challenge for nature &amp; landscape protection &amp; public acceptance. Therefore, the EU Strategy for Solar Energy focuses on innovative PV (I-PV) for multiple land use. This shall generate synergies by strengthening the climate resilience in agriculture, on moors &amp; for water bodies, as well as to preserve nature conservation. To date, responsible authorities have gathered little or no experience planning, permitting &amp; implementation procedures on the accelerated deployment of I-PV. Main challenges are methods to assess (negative, neutral, positive) environmental concerns. As some regions play a pioneering role in preparing their administrative framework ready for specific I-PV (e.g., Austria: floating PV; Germany: Agri-PV), other regions are facing the challenge on how to make legal secure assessment-based decisions. Within BiodIvErSe 9 partners (among them 1 advisory, 2 discovery) from Germany, Latvia, Poland, Greece, Ukraine, Austria, Bosnia Herzegovina plus 2 associated policy authorities from Germany &amp; Austria work jointly to close knowledge gaps and to develop criteria for regional potential analysis &amp; approval as well as strategic planning &amp; implementation methods. As a result 6 regional policy instruments on regional strategic acceleration of Innovation PV will be developed exemplary.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":56,"template":"","areas":[],"funding-programs":[664],"main-tomeas-ris":[524],"is-eu-project":[521],"is-ris-project":[512],"ppma_author":[538],"class_list":["post-20103","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","funding-programs-interreg-europe","main-tomeas-ris-perivallon-kai-kykliki-oikonomia","is-eu-project-nai","is-ris-project-nai"],"toolset-meta":{"field-group-for-erga":[],"erga":{"unique_id_ergou":{"type":"numeric","raw":"11322"},"total-budget":{"type":"numeric","raw":""},"budget-for-western-macedonia":{"type":"numeric","raw":""},"budget-string":{"type":"textfield","raw":"1.792.545"},"budget-string-for-western-macedonia":{"type":"textfield","raw":"228.998"},"project-website":{"type":"url","raw":""},"acronym":{"type":"textfield","raw":"BiodIvErSe"},"mis-code":{"type":"textfield","raw":"-"},"entry-date":{"type":"date","raw":"1746057600","formatted":"May 1, 2025"},"ending-date":{"type":"date","raw":"1880150400","formatted":"July 31, 2029"},"comments":{"type":"textarea","raw":""},"project_bodies_non_registered_in_platform":{"type":"textarea","raw":""},"user-contribution":{"type":"checkbox","raw":""}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/20103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"areas","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/areas?post=20103"},{"taxonomy":"funding-programs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funding-programs?post=20103"},{"taxonomy":"main-tomeas-ris","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/main-tomeas-ris?post=20103"},{"taxonomy":"is-eu-project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/is-eu-project?post=20103"},{"taxonomy":"is-ris-project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/is-ris-project?post=20103"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=20103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
