Description
1) Objective
LIFE Climate Change Governance and Information aims at supporting the development, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the Union legislation and policy on climate change, contributing to climate change mitigation and/or adaptation. This includes improving governance through enhancing the capacities of public and private actors and the involvement of civil society.
LIFE Climate Change Governance and Information supports the development, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the Union legislation and policy on climate change, contributing to climate change mitigation and/or adaptation. This includes improving governance through enhancing the capacities of public and private actors and the involvement of civil society.
Activities for the sole purpose of raising the awareness of certain groups are deemed insufficient to achieve these objectives, and are therefore not encouraged. Projects which set out to develop tools or studies must include specific and concrete action to implement these tools and studies during the duration of the project.
Areas of intervention are:
- Support to the operation of the European Climate Pact
- Incentivising behavioural change, mainstream emission reduction and resource and energy efficiency actions
- Awareness-raising activities addressing adaptation and mitigation needs
- Activities linked to the development and implementation of the Sustainable Finance actions
- Greenhouse gas monitoring and reporting
- Implementation/further development of national 2030 climate and energy strategies and/or mid-century strategies
- Development and implementation of greenhouse gas accounting and climate change mitigation in the land use sector
- Assessment of the functioning of the EU ETS
- Building capacity, raising awareness among end-users and the equipment distribution chain of fluorinated greenhouse gases
- Climate policy monitoring, assessment and ex-post evaluation
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 €700,000-€2,000,000. The indicative available call budget is €6,350,000.
