The LIFE Programme is the European Union’s dedicated funding instrument for environmental and climate action. It supports innovative projects that contribute to nature conservation, resource efficiency, climate resilience, and the transition to clean energy across Europe.

Open to public institutions, private companies, NGOs and research organizations, LIFE offers financial support for initiatives that align with EU priorities and demonstrate measurable impact.

For stakeholders looking to prepare project proposals, LIFE provides a valuable opportunity to turn ideas into action. Successful proposals typically combine strong technical foundations with clear environmental benefits, stakeholder engagement, and long-term sustainability. Whether you’re developing a pilot project, scaling up best practices, or testing new technologies, LIFE funding can help bring your vision to life.

With its emphasis on innovation, collaboration, and impact, the LIFE Programme continues to be a key driver of Europe’s green transition.
