The LIFE Programme is the European Union’s funding tool for environment and climate action.
LIFE contributes to the implementation, updating and development of EU environmental and climate policies and laws by co-financing projects with European added value. For the period 2014-2020 it has a budget of 3.4 billion euros. It consists of two sub-programmes: environment and climate action.
