Climate and energy transition

European municipalities and regions can now explore the potential of the EU LIFE programme and learn from the experiences of existing projects thanks to the newly released publication 'LIFE and local authorities: Helping regions and municipalities tackle environmental challenges".

 

The publication features more than 70 LIFE environment related projects as well as an analysis of local and regional policy challenges in the fields of sustainable transport and mobility, climate change, waste and water management and spatial planning.

 

Local and regional authorities have been involved in over 600 LIFE projects to date, either as beneficiaries of funding or as project partners of NGOs and private businesses.

 

The 'LIFE and local authorities" publication is published by the European Commission Directorate General for the environment in association with the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR). It is available in English, French, German and Polish and teasers are available in all the 23 official languages of the EU.
