  • BILAGA TILL HANDLINGSPLANEN I Miljöprogrammets Handlingsplan Hittar Du Kortfattad Information Om Varje Åtgärd
    BILAGA TILL HANDLINGSPLANEN I miljöprogrammets handlingsplan hittar du kortfattad information om varje åtgärd. I denna bilaga finns mer detaljerad information om respektive åtgärd. I bilagan beskriver vi också åtgärdens kostnad och effekt samt ger förslag på samarbetspartners. Informationen i bilagan är tänkt att vara en hjälp och utgångspunkt för genomförandet av åtgärden. I de flesta fall har åtgärderna ursprungligen föreslagits och beskrivits av deltagare i arbetsgrupper under framtagandet av miljöprogrammet. Dessutom har det kommit in synpunkter under remissen som har påverkat åtgärdernas utformning. Vi har utgått från arbetsgruppernas och remissinstansernas synpunkter, men informationen har i många fall varit knapphändig och därför är det ofta vi i projektgruppen som, i dialog med åtgärdsansvariga, har formulerat den slutliga åtgärdsbeskrivningen och effekten samt pekat ut vilka miljömål som är berörda. Alla inkomna synpunkter har inte påverkat åtgärdsbeskrivningarna, men kan ändå vara bra information att ta hänsyn till vid genomförandet av åtgärden. Dessa synpunkter finns samlade i samrådsredogörelsen. I bilagan till handlingsplanen ger vi också förslag på samarbetspartners. Dessa förslag grundar sig i den ursprungliga åtgärdsbeskrivningen och i vad som kommit fram i remissvaren. Det kan hända att fler samarbetspartners blir aktuella när åtgärden väl ska genomföras. Vad det innebär att vara samarbetspartner är olika från fall till fall. Det kan till exempel handla om att arbeta tätt ihop i en arbetsgrupp eller att finnas tillgänglig som kunskapskälla. Det kan också handla om att vara ansvarig för en del av åtgärden. Det kan inte heller uteslutas att det är förenligt med en kostnad att vara samarbetspartner. Av praktiska skäl har vi inte alltid stämt av med de föreslagna samarbetsparterna.
