What is a LIFE Integrated Project?

The LIFE programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action created in 1992.

Integrated projects are strategic projects supporting EU Member States to achieve full implementation of Strategies or Action Plans required by the EU environmental and climate legislation. They are implemented at national or regional scales, involving relevant authorities and very significant budgets from several EU and national sources, lasting for 6-10 years on average.

Under the sub-programme for climate action, these large-scale projects implement plans, strategies or roadmaps primarily in the areas of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Ireland's Climate Action Plan is one such plan.
