The LIFE Programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. The general objective of LIFE is to contribute to the implementation, updating and development of EU environmental and climate policy and legislation by co-financing projects with European added value. After 22 years, €3.4 billion and 4.170 projects, the LIFE Programme continues to finance actions for the environment and climate action.
This topic aims to support actions from key commercial and non-commercial actors in the clean energy transition, involving in particular local and regional authorities, energy agencies, energy service companies (ESCOs), financial institutions and EU manufacturers of net-zero energy technologies.
Actions under this topic should contribute to the implementation of the EU’s energy efficiency and renewable energy policy and legislation and demonstrate their positive contribution to the overall clean and fair energy transition.
The focus of the actions under this Call should address one of the following areas:
Proposals should address one of the above listed points. Addressing more than one point does not increase the relevance of the proposal.
Actions should provide the right mix of activities that will ensure their sustainability and replicability after LIFE CET support.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to €1.5 million would allow the specific objectives to be addressed appropriately.
