Full details of the new LIFE environment and climate program are available. We will have notices and many presentation events soon. Let’s find out together.<\/p>\n\n

Those working in the environmental<\/strong> sector cannot be unfamiliar with LIFE<\/strong>, the European flagship program in this area since 1992. Over many years, it has funded thousands of projects: now alone, more than a thousand are in execution. Starting with the last programming cycle, all projects can be accessed through a handy interactive map<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n LIFE<\/strong> is the cornerstone of the first of the European Commission’s strategic priorities, the European Green Deal<\/a>, which aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by decoupling economic growth from the use of natural resources. For this reason, it enjoys a60 percent higher financial allocation than in the previous programming period<\/strong> and is increasingly associated with identical efforts pursued under other programs, such as Horizon Europe(the last major call in 2020<\/a> was dedicated to the Green Deal), the ERDF<\/a> and other Structural Funds, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (of which 37 percent will be dedicated to green issues), the Mechanism for a Just Transition<\/a> (introduced starting this year), and other specific initiatives such as the “New European Bauhaus<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n The new LIFE program will be managed by a newly established agency, CINEA (Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency)<\/a>, which will also follow other programs (or their components) related to the environment, climate and infrastructure: the Mechanism for a Just Transition, Horizon Europe, the Connecting Europe Facility and the EMFF (European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund).<\/p>\n\n CINEA’s website<\/a> is already up and running and full of details about the LIFE program and all its areas of focus.<\/p>\n\n The official LIFE program regulation<\/a> for 2021-2027 is already available, which organizes the more than \u20ac5.4 billion available as follows:<\/p>\n\n Funding covers a very wide range of activities<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n In addition to “standard” projects, LIFE provides some special forms of intervention<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n The basic principles forawarding LIFE projects<\/strong> include:<\/p>\n\n The LIFE program has two multi-year work programs<\/strong>, the first of four years (2021-2024) and the second of three years (2025-2027). The work programs contain:<\/p>\n\n The first<\/strong> LIFE work program<\/strong> and calls<\/strong> will be published soon (late spring\/early summer) and will be available on this page<\/a> or on the corresponding page of the Funding & tender opportunities<\/a> portal. The first deadlines are expected in the fall.<\/p>\n\n These days, many important events allow us to learn more about the various aspects of the LIFE program and what’s new in the environmental and climate change sector:<\/p>\n\n Environment and climate is arguably the No. 1 priority of the European Union <\/strong>, and funding and partnership opportunities abound under the LIFE program and beyond.<\/p>\n\n Great news for all our readers active in this area: this is information and opportunities not to be missed, and now is a good time to read up on it.<\/p>\n\n We hope that this brief review will enable all stakeholders to seize these opportunities and express their potential for environmental advocacy and combating climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Full details of the new LIFE environment and climate program are available.
