The measure is an investment scheme called the Climate Leap, which shall finance local and regional activities to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases affecting the climate.

The beneficiaries are both private and public entities, notably including municipalities, organisations and enterprises, excluding individuals.

The expected effects are also the diffusion of new technologies, market uptake, better health and employment, as well as a positive impact on other environmental objectives.
The measure shall financially reinforce an existing scheme.

Supported actions shall include concrete climate action in areas such as transport, industry, agriculture and energy.

These range from biogas and infrastructure such as cycle paths or recharging points for electric vehicles to the replacement of oil by district heating.

The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
