Funding for climate action
The EU budget supports EU climate objectives through most budget programmes. DG Climate Action focusses on two aspects:
- Supporting the lead services in integrating climate action into the various EU spending programmes, including the achievement of the target of making at least 20% of the EU budget climate related
- Managing a €864 million programme (LIFE climate action) to develop and implement innovative ways to respond to climate challenges.
In addition to the EU budget resources, DG CLIMA also manages the NER 300 programme for innovative low-carbon energy demonstration projects.
