Behind every project idea and submitted LIFE project proposal, there is a team of motivated professionals. In celebration of the anniversary, Latvian LIFE project implementers will organize various activities and events, in which we invite everyone to participate. Soon www.lifeprogramma.lv will have a section dedicated to the anniversary of LIFE, where those interested will be able to learn more about the events and activities dedicated to the anniversary.
The LIFE program has helped to preserve more than 1,800 species of wild animals and plants, invested more than 1 billion euros in improving the environment, and contributed to the prevention of climate change. However, this is only the beginning – the European Commission has increased the LIFE budget by almost 60%, and it reaches 5.4 billion euros in the current period (2021 – 2027).
On May 17, 2022, the new call for the LIFE program was announced, giving municipalities, companies and other organizations the opportunity to submit their project ideas. This year, 598 million euros are available for nature, environment, climate and clean energy projects. Considering that the world is currently experiencing climate and biodiversity loss crises of an unprecedented scale, the LIFE program provides an opportunity to draw inspiration and improve the current situation by investing in the future. We invite potential project applicants to take advantage of the opportunity and apply to implement their environmental, nature and climate project ideas. Also, we invite everyone who is part of the LIFE community to celebrate the anniversary of the program and all its achievements both in Latvia and globally.
