Projects

Between 1992 and 2004, the LIFE programme has co-funded almost 2,500 projects covering 40 countries and territories and made commitments of €1.3 billion towards the total estimated cost of the projects of €3.6 billion.

The programme has supported a wide range of projects, tackling problems and developing solutions across a number of sectors and has addressed most key environmental issues, in line with EU environmental policy priorities.

The LIFE projects database contains information on all completed and ongoing LIFE projects (project web summaries, websites and laymans reports).

The main LIFE publications on water issues focus on the WFD, integrated coastal management and river restoration.
