正文(英文) | Karmenu Vella, EU Commissioner for the Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries said: “Congratulations to the winners and finalists in these LIFE Awards! These outstanding projects show how LIFE makes a difference to our environment, nature, climate, our cities, and – above all – to the lives of EU citizens. They show LIFE programme at its best – supporting local innovation, replicable across national borders, with benefits for all Europeans. I am delighted that with the new proposal for an increased budget, LIFE will continue to help build a greener future even on a greater scale." Miguel Arias Caňete, EU Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy said: “Climate action starts with people. These outstanding LIFE Climate Action projects show that well-designed actions involving citizens and businesses from the outset can achieve concrete results. LIFE helps small, climate-smart investments make a visible impact, for example by helping farmers develop sustainable and economically viable techniques. It shows that meaningful change is feasible and affordable.” The LIFE Awards recognise the most innovative, inspirational and effective LIFE projects in the fields of nature protection, environment and climate action. If applied widely, they can have a highly positive impact on the environment, boosting economic growth and providing significant benefits for European citizens. Life awards winnersFrom 62 finalists, nine most outstanding projects have been awarded the title “Best LIFE project”. The winners include environment projects from Italy, Spain and Poland, nature projects from Belgium, Greece, and Slovakia, and climate action projects from Spain (two projects) and Austria. Winning projects were chosen for their contribution to environmental, economic and social improvements, paying special attention to their innovation, replicability, relevance to policy and cost effectiveness.

People's Choice AwardIn recognition of the theme of EU Green Week 2018, the public was invited to vote for its favourite LIFE Green City project, from a shortlist of six. The winner of the People's Choice Award is AIRUSE, a Spanish-led project that analysed air pollution in five cities in southern Europe and made recommendations for effective action to reduce levels of airborne particles. Background#EUGreenWeek 2018 explores ways in which the EU is helping cities to become better places to live and work. Showcasing policy developments on air quality, noise, nature, biodiversity, waste and water management, it promotes participatory approaches to urban development. It also looks at networking schemes, tools for sharing best practices and ways of engaging local authorities and citizens, and encouraging them to share their vision of a sustainable future. The LIFE programme is the EU's funding instrument for the environment and climate action. It has been running since 1992 and has co-financed more than 4 500 projects across the EU and in third countries. The programme has contributed over €4 billion to the protection of the environment and climate and mobilised over €9 billion in total. At any given moment some 1100 projects are ongoing. The budget for the LIFE Programme for 2014–2020 is set at €3.4 billion, and has sub-programmes for environment and climate action. More information |
