European Commission Grants Over €390M for Environmental Projects in EU Member States
What happened
The European Commission granted more than €390 million to 135 new projects across Europe under the LIFE programme for environment and climate action. This funding covers more than half of the €579 million total investment required for these projects, with the remainder provided by national governments, businesses, and civil society organizations. The projects are designed to support the EU's transition toward a clean, circular, and resilient economy.
