(25 November 2021) – The Commission has today approved an investment package of more than €290 million for 132 new projects under the LIFE programme for the environment and climate action.
This EU funding will mobilise a total investment of €562 million, with projects in almost all Member States.
The new LIFE projects will help Europe become a climate-neutral continent by 2050, put Europe’s biodiversity on a path to recovery by 2030, and contribute to the EU green recovery post-Covid-19.
This is the first batch of projects selected under the new programming period 2021-2027 which sees an increase of the funding by almost 60%.
