  "text": "According to Article 4 of the LIFE Regulation, the overall budgetary envelope for the LIFE programme for the period 2014-2020 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).\nIn the years 2014-2017, 1 349 million EUR was allocated to the Environment Sub-programme and 446 million EUR to the Climate Action sub-programme. 1 657 million EUR remains available for the years 2018-2020.\nThe 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 %, Article 17(5) of the LIFE Regulation).\nArticle 4 of the LIFE Regulation is under revision to include a contribution of EUR 4 500 000 to the European Solidarity Corps for projects engaging young volunteers across the EU in environmental protection and climate action.\nLIFE projects shall be funded by action grants or, where appropriate, by financial instruments (Article 17(4) of the LIFE Regulation).\nAccording to Article 24(2)(a) of the LIFE Regulation, this MAWP specifies the amounts to be allocated per priority area and funding type.\nOverall allocation by type of funding for both sub-programmes\nBudget 2018-2020\nin million EUR\nProjects and operating grants\nAction grants\n1 263,44\nOperating grants\n36,00\nFinancial instruments\n75,00\nPublic procurement\n252,70\nSupport expenditure\n29,92\nOverall total\n1 657,06\nOverall allocation by priority area 2018-2020\nPriority areas\nEnvironment and Resource efficiency\nNature and Biodiversity\nEnvironmental Governance and Information\nEuropean Solidarity Corps\nClimate Change Mitigation\nClimate Change Adaptation\nClimate Governance and Information\nTotal per area (in million EUR)\n444,81\n632,55\n143,38\n4,50\n230,50\n123,85\n47,55\nSub-total\n1 627,14\nSupport expenditure (ATA)\n29,92\nOverall total\n1 657,06\nThe allocations per priority area and funding type are of indicative nature.
