Cluster 6 is therefore committed to transforming the economy and society. Specifically, it aims to reduce environmental degradation; halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity, and better manage natural resources. Achieving those goals goes hand in hand with pursuing the EU climate goals and ensuring food and water security. The programme exists of the following destinations:

1. Land, oceans and water for climate action - climate neutrality is achieved by reducing GHG emissions, maintaining natural carbon sinks, and enhancing the sequestration and storage of carbon in ecosystems, including by unfolding the potential of nature based solutions, production systems on land and at sea as well as rural and coastal areas, where adaptations to climate change are also being fostered for enhancing resilience.
2. Biodiversity and ecosystem services - biodiversity is back on a path to recovery, and ecosystems and their services are preserved and sustainably restored on land, inland water and at sea through improved knowledge and innovation.
3. Circular economy and bioeconomy sectors/Clean environment and zero pollution - sustainable and circular management and use of natural resources as well as prevention and removal of pollution are mainstreamed, unlocking the potential of the bioeconomy, ensuring competitiveness and guaranteeing healthy soil, air, fresh and marine water for all, through better understanding of planetary boundaries and deployment of innovative technologies and other solutions, notably in primary production, forestry and bio-based systems.
4. Fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food systems from primary production to consumption - food and nutrition security for all within planetary boundaries is ensured through knowledge, innovation and digitalisation in agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and food systems, which are sustainable, resilient, inclusive, safe and healthy from farm to fork.
5. Resilient, inclusive, healthy and green rural, coastal and urban communities - rural, coastal and urban areas are developed in a sustainable, balanced and inclusive manner thanks to a better understanding of the environmental, socio-economic, behavioural and demographic drivers of change as well as deployment of digital, social and community-led innovations.
6. Innovative governance, environmental observations and digital solutions in support of the Green Deal - innovative governance models enabling sustainability and resilience are established and monitored through enhanced and shared use of new knowledge, tools, foresight, and environmental observations as well as digital, modelling and forecasting capabilities.
