Description
1) Objective
Projects under the Climate Change Mitigation Priority Area should contribute to the socially just and sustainable transition towards a climate neutral economy by 2050 and to reaching the EU emission reduction target for 2030 of at least 55% compared with 1990 levels. Union climate policy and legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions focuses in particular on:
• sustainable renewable energy,
• energy efficiency,
• the emissions trading system,
• energy and greenhouse gas intensive industrial production,
• land use, agriculture and forestry,
• increase of carbon sequestration in ecosystems,
• zero and near-zero emission transport solutions and fuel/energy options,
• fluorinated gases and ozone depleting substances,
• carbon capture and use; as well as carbon capture and storage,
• greenhouse gas monitoring and reporting,
• efforts by all sectors of society and economy to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, including public bodies (national, regional and local authorities); private commercial entities; or non-commercial organisations (unions, civil society organisations, educational institutions, consumer groups), and
• behavioural change, also through activities of the European Climate Pact.
2) Eligibility
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must be legal entities (public or private bodies) registered in an eligible country.
3) Location
LIFE projects shall take place in the territory of the European Union Member States plus Ukraine, Moldova. Projects with activities outside the EU must be necessary to achieve EU environmental and climate objectives and ensure the effectiveness of interventions carried within the EU (e.g. actions aimed at the conservation of migratory birds in wintering areas, actions implemented on a trans boundary river, or projects aimed to address environmental problems that cannot be solved successfully or efficiently unless actions are carried out also in non-EU countries).
4) Budget
Funding rate is 60% and the EU contribution ranges from €1,000,000-€5,000,000. The indicative available call budget is €30,000,000.
