Today, the European Commission is investing more than €103 million in seven strategic projects across Europe with funding under the LIFE programme. They will contribute to strengthening the EU's prosperity, reinforcing economic stability, food systems and environmental ecosystems, while also improving public health and quality of life across the continent.

The selected projects are located in Finland, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain. Supporting and accelerating the implementation of EU environmental and climate policies, the projects are focused notably on climate and water resilience, nature restoration, circular economy and sustainable land use. These are expected to mobilise additional national public and private investment.
