  "text": "According to Article 4 of the LIFE Regulation, the overall budgetary envelope for the LIFE programme for the period 2014-20 is EUR 3 456 655 000, 75 % of which is attributed to the sub-programme Environment (EUR 2 592 491 250), and 25 % of which is attributed to the sub-programme Climate Action (EUR 864 163 750). The LIFE Regulation also fixes the minimum percentage of the total budget to be reserved for projects (81 %, Article 17(4) of the LIFE Regulation) and the maximum percentage of the budgetary resources allocated to projects supported by way of action grants that may be allocated to integrated projects (30 %).\nProjects shall be funded by action grants or, where appropriate, by financial instruments (Article 17(4) of the LIFE Regulation). The MAWP shall specify the amounts to be allocated per priority area and funding type.\nOverall allocation by type of funding for both sub-programmes\nBudget 2014-2017\nin million EUR\nAction grants\n1 317,9\nOperating grants\n38,6\nFinancial instruments\n140,0\nPublic procurement\n204,0\nSupport expenditure (ATA)\n95,8\nOverall total\n1 796,3\nOverall allocation by priority area\nPriority areas\nEnvironment and Resource efficiency\nNature and Biodiversity\nEnvironmental Governance and Information\nClimate Change Mitigation\nClimate Change Adaptation\nClimate Governance and Information\nTotal per area (in million EUR)\n495,85\n610,07\n163,0\n193,56\n190,39\n47,59\nSub-total\n1 700,45\nSupport expenditure (ATA)\n95,79\nOverall total\n1 796,3\nThe allocations per priority area and funding type are of indicative nature.

Within the thresholds established by the LIFE Regulation, reallocations between priority areas may not exceed 5 % of the total allocation for the priority areas concerned.",
