#### 4.2.1 Proposals for Policy Measures and Interventions on Specific Objective 4 (ES4)
ES4-SP2: Adapt to the Climate Change Effects in Agriculture  
The proposal for this specific measure is based on the need to take more initiatives and increased care through incentives of the new CAP (compensations for lost income or additional costs for commitments above the enhanced optional/voluntarily undertaken by producers, attractive financing rates for adaptation investments, reduction in insurance premiums risks as an incentive to implement investments to prevent and protect agricultural production, etc. ), for more ambitious actions to adapt agriculture to climate change, and focuses on the following interventions in harmony with the National Strategy and the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plans:  
* Supporting actions to protect and preserve domestic genetic material of plants (domestic varieties) and animals (domestic breeds), with priority to those most threatened, and improve resistance to risks caused by the effects of climate change. * Adopting practices in livestock production that increase livestock resilience, fertility, well-being, longevity, and adaptability to changing climate conditions. * Extensively restructuring towards crops and varieties more resistant to climate change (e.g., to pest and disease, dry heat conditions, with lower water requirements, etc. ), through investment plans to improve agricultural holdings, at the same time utilizing appropriate agricultural practices integrated plant protection, nutrition and management of natural resources. * Promoting the implementation of irrigation management actions, as a means of adapting agriculture to the intensifying dry heat conditions due to climate change, in the most affected areas. * Promoting investments to prevent damage to agricultural production from catastrophic events, disease and extreme weather events (e.g., investments for anti-hail and anti-freeze protection of agricultural production, to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases, to relocate agricultural and livestock units from high to low risk areas, etc. ),as well as investments in controlled environmental conditions (e.g., greenhouses), in order to ensure the quality of production and protect the income of farmers. Investments in production protection will simultaneously contribute to the sustainability of the agricultural insurance system (ELGA), which is under great pressure to pay disproportionate compensation due to the rapid increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. ES4-SP3: Pursue Sustainable Energy Production from Agriculture Activities  
The proposal for this specific measure is based on the need to increase sustainable energy production from agriculture, according to the principles of the circular bioeconomy, through the provision of investment incentives from the new CAP and focuses on interventions in the promotion of private investments, for the utilization of renewable sources (RES), as well as by-products and by-products of plant (biomass) and animal (animal waste) origin. A key condition for the success of the proposed interventions is to ensure greater synergy and complementarity of sectoral policies for sustainable energy, especially in terms of accelerating their planning and implementation, in order to facilitate the implementation of the corresponding \"green\" investments. Areas of more effective synergy are the policies for the siting and licensing of investments (e.g., photovoltaics on otherwise non-productive land, availability, and degree of saturation of the electricity grid, offsetting of produced/consumed energy\(-\)net metering), the pricing of produced sustainable energy in relation to conventional, the diversification of self-production and trading of energy from RES.
