CO-FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Instrument of the European Commission LIFE
The LIFE program was created in 1992 and so far it is the only financial instrument of the European Union focused exclusively on co-financing various initiatives in the field of environmental and climate protection. The main objective of this program is to support the implementation of Community environmental law, the implementation of EU policy in this area, as well as the identification and promotion of new solutions for environmental problems in this nature. All EU Member States can apply for LIFE funding. The beneficiary of the LIFE Program may be any entity and public or private institution.
