LIFE is the programme under which Brussels has managed European environmental and climate funds since 1992.
In total, for the period 2021-27, the LIFE programme can count on 5.432 billion euros (in current prices), including 2.8 billion in the first programming period of European funds, which covers the years 2021 to 2024.
The LIFE programme, we recall, supports projects that are framed in sectors and subprogrammes, specifically:
- Environment Sector, which includes the subprogrammes: Nature and Biodiversity; Circular Economy and Quality of Life;
- Climate Action Sector, which includes the subprogrames: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation; Clean Energy Transition.
