Increased No. of MS/regions applying integrated approaches with support from an Integrated Project or replicating the results from an IP. Increased No. of complementary measures financed by other Union Funds. Positive impact of LIFE projects on climate resilience of particularly vulnerable areas identified in the EU Adaptation Strategy. | 7 Member States applying integrated approaches with support from an IP or replicating the results from an IP.

No. of vulnerability assessments, climate change adaptation strategies or action plan developed through LIFE. No. of trans-regional or cross-border adaptation projects. | Attributable increase in climate resilience, broken down by sector, due to the demonstrated new technologies, systems, instruments and/or other best practice approaches developed and taken up following LIFE examples. Positive impact of LIFE projects on climate resilience of particularly vulnerable areas identified for LIFE funding in the EU Adaptation Strategy. | 80 % of the projects started set up innovative technologies, systems and instruments and/or best practice solutions increasing climate resilience. |

No. of citizens, enterprises, local authorities, registered non-governmental (NGO) and other civil society organisations reached. Geographic spread and area covered. | Increased awareness regarding human-caused climate change and solutions, as measured by Eurobarometer surveys. Increased participation in stakeholder consultations or policy discussions related to climate policy and legislative acts. | A 25 % increase in participation of stakeholders and citizens in awareness-raising activities. 10 % increase of citizens targeted by LIFE projects considering human-caused climate change a very serious problem. |
| Best practice projects and other projects | No. of projects. No. of attributable consolidated practices using indicators or tools developed and tested following LIFE examples. No. of policy approaches or legislation proposals based on projects results. | Increased No. of best practices taken up by households, enterprises, authorities or incorporated into national/regional programmes or action plans.

See also the Programme Statement in the Draft Budget for 2014, COM(2013) 450, p. 181ff. N.b.: Indicators and targets in the Programme Statement were drawn up by the Commission on the basis of its proposal from 2011. During the legislative procedure several changes were introduced: capacity and technical assistance projects were introduced, the total budget was lowered by 15 % and the amount for Nature and Biodiversity was increased to 55 % of the resources allocated to projects (i.e. reducing the amount earmarked for Environment and Resource Efficiency), the co-funding rate was raised to 60 % or more for all projects for the period 2014-20, thematic priorities were introduced, and the percentage of integrated projects was reduced to 30 % of the resources allocated to action grants. The outcomes and targets were therefore adapted accordingly.
