The LIFE programme 2014-2020 is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. LIFE’s general objective is to help implement and develop EU environmental and climate policy and legislation by co-financing projects with European added value.

Under the general guidance on better regulation, this mid-term evaluation explores the LIFE programme’s relevance and EU added value. It looks at whether the programme continues to be relevant in tackling the issues it seeks to address while adding value in relation to what Member States would have achieved acting alone. The evaluation also assesses whether LIFE is achieving this in an effective and efficient manner and whether its provisions are consistent with other programmes.

This report summarises the main findings of the evaluation, draws conclusions and makes recommendations for follow-up action. It is accompanied by a Staff Working Document showing the evaluation findings in more detail.
