On 18.04.2023, the European Commission, through the Climate and Infrastructure Executive Agency (CINEA), announced 14 of the calls for the selection of project proposals under the LIFE Programme for 2023. The LIFE Programme 2021-2027 is an EU funding instrument fully dedicated to environmental, climate and energy objectives. It contributes to the transition to a clean, circular, energy-efficient, climate-neutral and climate-resilient economy, including through a transition to clean energy, to protect and improve the quality of the environment.
The Programme is divided into two sub-programmes: the Environment sub-programme and the Climate Action sub-programme. The Environment sub-programme focuses on projects that promote nature conservation, the efficient use of resources and the prevention and management of environmental risks. The Climate Action sub-programme supports projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase adaptation to climate change.
The calls for applications currently open, as well as those to be opened, are published at https://cinea.ec.europa.eu/programmes/life/life-calls-proposals_en.
