The European Commission is allocating more than EUR233 million to fund twelve new strategic projects across Europe through the LIFE programme. These projects aim to advance the EU’s environmental and climate goals as part of the European Green Deal.
These strategic initiatives are anticipated to leverage substantial additional funding from various EU sources, including agricultural, structural, regional, and research funds, as well as contributions from national governments and private sector investments.
The funding provided for these twelve projects will assist Bulgaria, Czechia, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Lithuania, Austria, Poland, and Finland in meeting their national environmental and climate objectives, thereby enhancing their contributions to the EU’s green transition.
The LIFE programme serves as the European Union’s primary funding mechanism for environmental and climate action.
