www.euractiv.com - The European Commission is expected to provide significantly more money for regional environmental and
climate projects under proposals scheduled to be unveiled on Monday (12 December).
The successor to the current Financial Instrument for the Environment, known as the LIFE programme, is likely to include €3.2
billion in funding for the 2014-2020 budget, 52% more than the €2.1 billion package approved five years ago.
One-quarter of the budget is expected to be dedicated to climate change adaptation.
LIFE has been in operation since 1992 and helps finance environmental initiatives in the EU as well as in some candidate and
accession countries.
