The LIFE programme is the EU's funding instrument for the environment and climate action. It has been running since 1992 and has co-financed more than 4 500 projects across the EU and in third countries, mobilising over €9 billion and contributing over €4 billion to the protection of the environment and climate. The budget for the LIFE Programme for 2014–2020 was set at €3.4 billion in current prices, and has a sub-programme for environment and a sub-programme for climate action. The European Commission approved on 28 September 2017 an investment package of €222 million from the EU budget to support Europe's transition to more sustainable and low-carbon future under the LIFE programme for the Environment and Climate Action. |
