Similarly, in Languedoc-Roussillon, €55.2 million ERDF were made available for the theme, i.e. more than 23% of the ERDF budgetary envelope. In Corsica, the project benefited from a larger average allocation per project (€227,300 of ERDF funding) compared to €81,582 in Languedoc Roussillon. In the OMR, at least 10% of each budgetary envelope was devoted to the theme. More particularly, 30% of the ERDF budgetary envelope for Guadeloupe and 22% of that for Réunion were programmed for the environmental theme, for respective total amounts of €109 and €117 million ERDF. In both of these regions, the priority was water management and treatment (€75 million in Guadeloupe; €96.6 million in Réunion). In Réunion, the focus was also on risk prevention (accounting for more than €15 million ERDF) while in Guadeloupe, the focus was more on waste management (at more than €28 million). AND AFTERWARDS... For the 2014-2020 period, the promotion and protection of the environment is separate from the prevention and management of risks. Two thematic objectives feature among the European rules: Thematic objective 5 (TO5): «Encouraging the adaptation to climate change and risk prevention and management». As part of this objective, actions to encourage adaptation to climate change and actions aimed at guaranteeing resistance to disasters and the development of systems to manage disaster situations will be supported». Thematic objective 6 (TO6): «Preserving and protecting the environment and encouraging the rational use of resources». Where the environment is concerned, actions in the waste and water fields may be carried out. This thematic objective also covers protection of natural and cultural heritage sites, the protection and restoration of biodiversity and improvements to the urban environment. 4
