LIFE Programme

The European Commission invests €101.2 million in new large-scale LIFE projects in nine Member States. Discover the ten new projects that will work in the fields of nature, water, air, waste and climate action – to improve our quality of life.

We need to take action to meet our environmental and climate objectives. That’s why the 2021 - 2027 LIFE Programme will support biodiversity, climate action, clean energy and circular economy. Take a look at this report and learn what else is in store for the future LIFE Programme.

Water is a vital part of our lifes - but it is often contaminated by harmful substances. Several LIFE projects work for a better water quality across the continent to provide us with water that is good and safe for us. Learn more about their actions.

The LIFE Information and Networking Day 2020 is approaching. If you have an idea for a project on green technology, nature protection or climate action, come to the event and learn more about our funding opportunities.

The Natura 2000 Day is a day to highlight nature protection and restoration. Take part by organising an event with this year’s theme “Young people and nature” in a Natura 2000 site.

The global demand for shoes is rising - and our environment suffers greatly from the mass production. Our GreenShoes4All project measures the environmental impact of footwear to help producers reduce their waste and emissions.

Climate change is not only a major threat to our environment but also to Europe’s cultural and natural heritage. A large-scale LIFE project in Denmark wants to use heritage like history, art and landscapes as a catalyst for climate action.

Good communication is key to spreading the word about LIFE projects and reaching their target groups. Learn how the team of a cross-border LIFE project uses storytelling to improve coexistence between humans and large carnivores in Europe.
