Life and Climate Change Report
This is a study of the climate change mitigation and adaptation practices demonstrated by the LIFE programme. The study is targeted at experts in the European Commission as well as the general public. A high number of LIFE projects (366) have direct or indirect implications for climate change. The study identified and classified these projects in order to make it easier to search for them.

Executive summary
This thematic LIFE study provides information on solutions brought by the LIFE programme to
mitigation or adaptation to climate change.
The study is targeted at experts within the EC (especially DG CLIMA) as well as to the general
public, who search for reference LIFE projects in various fields related to climate change.
In view of the very high number of projects linked to climate change (CC) - 366 projects - it was
decided to take a two-phase approach. This study comprises the first phase: It identifies projects
relevant to CC, classifies them and makes it easy to filter by specific search criteria.
These may be questions such as:
•
“Which LIFE projects have covered a certain subtopic?”
•
“Has LIFE already funded a project similar to a new proposal?”
•
“Which projects should contact each other due to similarities?”
To this end, the study contains a large part of more than 50 small project clusters of systematically
defined sub-topics of climate change. In addition, it comes with a spreadsheet database, which
contains additional information on the projects and strong filter features.
Based on the structured information collated during this first phase, in a later second phase it will
be possible to conduct a more detailed analysis of sub-topics such as ‘climate change and
industrial processes’ or ‘climate change in agriculture’, (i.e. comparable to the previous thematic
studies).
Impressive scope of the LIFE programme
After the clusters were categorised into graphs and lists, it became clear that the LIFE programme
delivers an impressive scope of solutions and innovative approaches concerning the full range of
sub-topics of climate change.
•
With 366 projects funded, climate change is a major theme in the LIFE programme.
•
Between 2000 and 2012, the EU contributed about 350 m€ to projects relevant for climate
change with a total budget of some 900 m€.
The breadth of coverage is also impressive: the LIFE programme has dealt with all bar one of more
than 50 CC subtopics. Although there are more projects in some categories (e.g.
‘housing/construction’. ‘industry’ or ‘road transport’) than in others (e.g. ‘railway’), at this stage of
analysis, the funding programme appears fairly balanced in terms of thematic coverage, as well as
in other aspects examined.
However, three issues of imbalance were also found:
•
There is a striking regional imbalance, with two countries (Spain and Italy) dominating the
LIFE projects.
•
There is an imbalance between the two main themes, as adaptation with 59 projects lags
behind mitigation with 335 projects.
•
A third imbalance concerns the topic ‘Social: migration, social tension, jobs’. So far, this
social tension topic is not visible in LIFE projects.
The classifications developed during this study have provided a suitable structure for the broad
topic of climate change. As no such structure had been found at the outset, it may be an additional
benefit of this study.

Introduction
The LIFE Environment and Eco-Innovation Unit (now LIFE Environment Unit) requested that
Astrale GEIE should, in the context of the Enhancing Tasks of LIFE monitoring contracts, assess
the contribution of LIFE projects to the implementation, dissemination and further development of a
number of EU environmental policies and legislation. Starting with the ‘pilot study’ in 2011 focusing
in particular on waste and resource efficiency, Astrale GEIE developed a methodology that has
subsequently been used and adapted to produce a series of thematic studies including, waste, air
& noise, soil, water and most recently, marine environment.
In 2014, the LIFE Unit requested a similar piece of work that would focus on the adaptation to and
mitigation of the negative effects of climate change (prepared as part of Astrale Gamma contract
2014).
2.1
Principal objectives of the study
Astrale GEIE’s communications remit covers a range of tasks (updating the LIFE website,
compilations of new and Best projects, digital newsletters, etc). Part of this remit covers the
production of thematic studies and LIFE Focus (thematic) brochures. In 2014, it was agreed to
produce both a thematic study and LIFE ENV Focus brochure on climate change. The following
table outlines the different objectives of each :

issue or to compare a new project
proposal with what has been
previously funded)
• Provide a basis for the thematic

function (e.g. dissemination at
sectoral events etc.)
• Feature articles highlighting the
relevant work of groups of projects in
four or five policy (sub)topics of
current interest to the EC.

As an additional requirement, DG CLIMA requested that the thematic study should support the
selection of LIFE climate action projects in future LIFE calls. It would do this by providing an
overview of what LIFE has done to date, by identifying climate change sub-topics that may have
received less (or no) support, and by making it possible to quickly identify whether or not project
proposals were similar to already-funded LIFE projects. .
Based on the requirements outlined above, the thematic study can thus be said to have the
following specific objectives:
• Present the main current EU policies and legislation regarding CC
• Review all climate change-related LIFE projects to examine trends and costs of implementation
(both total and EU contributions).
• Develop sub-topics and categories in order to subdivide the wide spectrum of climate-relevant
topics.
• Group the large number of projects by these categories.
• Check for imbalances in the climate change field of the LIFE programme.
• Provide a tool for quick access to relevant projects in order to aid the selection of climate
relevant projects in the upcoming LIFE calls.
2.2
Methodology of this study
The format and content of the report greatly differs from the previous study reports produced for
the waste, water, air, noise and maritime sectors.
At the beginning of the study, it was not clear how many LIFE climate projects there had been,
since projects prior to LIFE+ (2007 onwards) were not tagged with a climate identifier. Identifying
appropriate projects involved the following steps: Firstly, projects that were obviously irrelevant to
climate were excluded;; secondly, projects approved before the year 2000 were excluded (with the
exception of 14 projects from 1994 to 1999 that appeared interesting). This left a ‘long list’ of more
than 650 LIFE projects from 2000 to 2012 that had to be checked manually. Analysis of the
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final

background and objectives sections of the online project summaries of each of these projects led
to the final list of 366 relevant projects.
Projects approved in 2011 and 2012 have only recently started and many more are still ongoing
and haven't been completed. They have been included in the scope of the study as it is important
to know who is currently working on which topic. Underperforming and failed projects have also
been included as they may provide valuable information for projects with similar objectives.
It was decided that instead of cherry-picking 50 projects to to give a cross-section of the range of
LIFE projects within the climate change topic, it would be much more helpful to provide a tool for
experts and those responsible for managing the LIFE programme: A tool to search the data and
pinpoint projects that match a precise user query.
As for previous thematic studies, the first step was to research the policy background and current
developments. The author then used two databases to find LIFE projects in the field of climate
change. These were the Astrale internal LIFEtrack database and the (public-facing) LIFE project
database, available online at the LIFE website1. By combining these sources, the author is
confident that all relevant projects have been captured.
By then it was clear that there would be more projects on the topic than in previous thematic
studies and the reader – or rather, user – would require a tool in order to:
1) Filter an appropriate set of projects from the total number of climate change projects,
2) Put the resulting information into lists, which can easily be scanned;; and
3) Provide links to further details regarding the individual projects.
Regarding the first requirement, five to 20 projects appeared the optimum number. Precise
categorisation of the 366 total366 climate change projects would thus be essential to achieving this
target. The importance of defining such categories often is undervalued. Their development is
described in an later chapter. The categories proved very useful as a means of finding the clusters
of projects listed in section B of this report.
The second requirement was to make the filtered results both compact and comprehensible. Each
project has an acronym, however, this by itself normally cannot explain what the project is about.
Conversely, the full project title may be 20 words or more (e.g. Zero Emission Firing strategies for
ceramic tiles by oxy-fuel burners and CO2 sequestration with recycling of by-products), which can
make reading through a list of selected projects rather strenuous.
Therefore the author – after reading the “background”, “objective” and “results” paragraphs for
each project – created an ultra-short descriptor for each project. For the above example it was
“Oxy-firing and CO2 sequestration in greenhouse”.
The third requirement for the user is to have easy access to more detailed information. Thus we
have included the background, objectives and results sections of each relevant project summary in
the spreadsheet database that is an integral part of this study.
An example of how the information is presented in the print version of the study is shown below:

In the database version, the same example project is presented as follows:
LIFE12.ENV/IT/000424 LIFE ZEF-tile
Oxy-firing and CO2 sequestration in greenhouse
Background
When firing tiles, CO2 is released due to the oxidation of natural gas. The amount of CO2 produced
per unit mass of finished product ranges from 90 to 125 g/kg in the case of single firing, and up to
140 g/kg in the case of ‘porcelainised’ stoneware. Moreover, since air is used as a source of
oxygen in the burners, large quantities of nitrogen are introduced to the firing kiln and NOx are
generated.
Objectives
The objective of the LIFE ZEF-tile project is to demonstrate the feasibility of applying oxy-fuel
technologies to the firing stage of ceramic tile production in order facilitate CO2 sequestration. By
using pure oxygen, instead of air, to burn hydrocarbons such as methane, the exhaust gases will
contain only CO2 and water vapour. As a result, it will no longer be necessary to heat the inert
gases contained in air and thus waste energy in continuously heating and cooling gases not
directly involved in the combustion process. Moreover, it will lead to a proportional reduction in the
volume of exhaust gas, which can then be processed easily due to its simple composition.
For this purpose, the project will set up a demonstrative roller kiln with burners modified in order to
use pure oxygen. As part of the process, water vapour will be condensed in order to leave a
stream of almost pure CO2, which will then be subjected to sequestration techniques. The project
team will assess the effect of using part of the CO2 flux to boost plants and vegetables growth in a
greenhouse, and will compress and store another part in liquid form to be used in different ways.
For example, one part will be immobilised in mineral to be further recycled as raw material in the
manufacture of other ceramic products.
Expected results:
• An innovative zero emission firing process for ceramic tiles;;
• Direct recycling of 100% of the gas processing by-products of ceramic tile production as milling
or glazing water, and as carbonates for ceramic body composition;;
• Zero particulate emissions, due to the ideal combustion conditions in the oxy-fuel burners and
to the installation of ash filters;;
• Reduced heat losses from exhaust gases due to the use of heat exchangers and the reduction
in gas volume;;
• Condensable flue gases (CO2 and H2O), making compression separation possible;;
• A 95% reduction in the production of NOx by using technically pure oxygen;;
2.3
Limitations of the Study
There are several limiting factors that should be taken into consideration when reading this study:
• . Although the Kyoto protocol was agreed in December 1997, it was only in 2004, with the
addition of the keyword ‘climate protection’, that it became possible to precisely identify climate-
relevant LIFE projects. From 2007 (LIFE+) applicants have been able to mark their proposal
as climate change relevant. February 2010 saw the creation of two new relevant Directorates-
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 10 / 11
General within the European Commission: DG Energy (ENER) and DG Climate Action
(CLIMA)2.
• Since DG CLIMA begun sharing responsibility for the management of the LIFE programme in
2014, its interests largely guided the terms and scope of this study. Since nearly all CO2
emitted by human activities stems from energy generation/consumption, it was deamed
impractical to separate climate projects from energy projects. Astrale and DG CLIMA agreed at
the outset that climate-relevant energy projects may be dealt with separately in a future study.
• The topic climate change is – via its main emission source: combustion of fossil fuels - very
closely related to energy generation and energy consumption. Accordingly, it is present in a
wide range of branches and activities – and in turn in a very high number of LIFE projects. This
fact makes it necessary to approach the topic in two steps: Firstly to identify and classify
climate change relevant projects and secondly to choose sub-topics of climate change and go
into a more detailed analysis (comparable to the previous thematic studies). The second step
can only be done after the first one.
This study therefore concentrates on the first of these two steps and has produced a database
and search tool covering the breadth of climate change LIFE projects. The discussion of
individual projects and the highlighting of their results are left for the user or for further detailed
studies in the future (e.g. on climate change mitigation in agriculture, industry or energy
supply). This approach proves to be of high value for users who need to find answers to
questions such as
•
Which LIFE projects have covered a certain climate change subtopic?
•
Has LIFE already funded projects similar to a newly-submitted proposal?
•
Which beneficiaries should contact each other due to similarities in their projects?
For the general public, Astrale has produced a LIFE Focus brochure on LIFE and Climate
change mitigation. A second publication, LIFE and Climate change adaptation, will follow in
2015.
2.4
Using this study: Searching rather than reading
There are five to 10 times more climate change projects than there were projects for the topics of
previous thematic studies. Climate change is closely interlinked with energy consumption and
material transformation/processing (e.g. CO2) as well as natural decomposition (e.g. CH4) and
chemical processes (e.g. nitrous oxide), which in turn are a considerable part of any human activity
and of any LIFE project.
The present study does not review single projects, but instead, as a first step makes climate
change projects visible and puts them in clusters. From those clusters projects may be chosen and
analysed in more detail in future studies.
How to use the study: The author suggests to read the overview first and then select the short
project lists closest to a specific search topic. Searching is made easy by two features:
• In order to find the right projects the author has developed stringent categories with as little
overlap as possible (see chapter ‘Development of categories’) and applied them to all projects.
• In order to allow for quick scanning through projects the author created a condensed project
descriptor of four to eight words for each of the 366 projects, pinpointing its objective.
These two features were found to be crucial from the outset and therefore much of the work for this
study consisted in their implementation.

EU climate policies and related legislation3
With a view to facilitating a transition towards a green, low carbon and resource efficient economy
and contributing to a more climate-resilient Europe, the DG's strategy addresses both mitigation
and adaptation needs in an integrated approach.
3.1
The 20-20-20 targets and the Europe 2020 Strategy
The European Union strongly acknowledges that tackling climate change is one of the greatest
challenges facing the world. The need for urgent action is clearly reflected in the EU’s ambitious
climate and energy package, a set of binding legislation establishing three targets for 2020 (known
as the "20-20-20 targets"):
• 20% reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels (or even 30% if other major
economies agree to undertake their fair share of a global emissions reduction effort);;
• Raising the share of EU energy consumption produced from renewable resources to 20%;;
• A 20% improvement in the EU's energy efficiency.
Climate change and energy sustainability are also included among the five headline targets of the
Europe 2020 Strategy, launched in 2010 to create the conditions for smart, sustainable and
inclusive growth. In the same year, the EU established an ad-hoc Directorate-General for Climate
Action (DG CLIMA) to help the Commission in the development and implementation of a broad and
diversified range of climate policies.
3.2
Mitigation
3.2.1
The Climate and Energy Package
The Climate and Energy Package comprises four pieces of complementary legislation, which are
intended to achieve the 20-20-20 targets:4
1. The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) Review
The EU ETS is the cornerstone of EU climate policies and the key tool for cutting industrial
greenhouse gas emissions most cost-effectively. The climate and energy package includes a
comprehensive revision and strengthening of the legislation which underpins the EU ETS, the
Emissions Trading Directive (2003/87/EC). The revision applies from 2013, the start of the third
trading period of the EU ETS. Major changes include the introduction of a single EU-wide cap on
emission allowances in place of the existing system of national caps. The cap will be cut each year
so that by 2020 emissions will be 21% below the 2005 level. The free allocation of allowances will
be progressively replaced by auctioning, starting with the power sector. The scope of sectors and
gases covered by the system will be slightly widened.

through the 2011 Energy Efficiency Plan and the Energy Efficiency Directive by DG ENERGY. More

2. The Effort Sharing Decision: national targets for non-EU ETS emissions
Under the so-called Effort Sharing Decision, Member States have committed to binding annual
targets for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors not covered by the EU ETS,
such as housing, agriculture, waste and transport (excluding aviation and international maritime
shipping). Around 60% of the EU's total emissions come from sectors outside the EU ETS. The
national targets, covering the period 2013-2020, are differentiated according to Member States'
relative wealth (measured by GDP per capita). They range from a 20% emissions reduction
(compared to 2005) by the richest Member States to a 20% increase by the least wealthy (though
this will still require a limitation effort by all countries). Member States must report on their
emissions annually under the EU monitoring mechanism.
3. The Renewable Energy Directive: national renewable energy targets
Under the Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC), Member States have taken on binding
national targets for raising the share of renewable energy in their energy consumption by 2020.
These targets, which reflect Member States' different starting points and potential for increasing
renewables production, range from 10% in Malta to 49% in Sweden. The national targets will
enable the EU as a whole to reach its 20% renewable energy target for 2020 - more than double
the 2010 level of 9.8% - as well as a 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector. The
targets will also help to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the EU’s dependence on
imported energy.
4. The Carbon Capture and Storage Directive: geological storage of carbon dioxide
The fourth element of the climate and energy package is a directive (in preparation) creating a
legal framework for the environmentally safe use of carbon capture and storage technologies.
Carbon capture and storage involves capturing the carbon dioxide emitted by industrial processes
and storing it in underground geological formations where it does not contribute to global warming.
The directive covers all CO2 storage in geological formations in the EU and lays down
requirements which apply to the entire lifetime of storage sites.
3.2.2
Emissions and removals related to land use, land use change and forestry
(LULUCF)
Emissions and removals related to land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) are not
covered by the EU ETS Directive or the Effort Sharing Decision. In the light of a decision by
UNFCCC parties in December 2011 to revise accounting rules for GHG emissions and removals
from soils and forests, in March 2012 the European Commission made a proposal to harmonise
accounting rules for these emissions and removals across the EU as a first step towards
incorporating agriculture and forestry into the EU's emission-reduction efforts. Following the
approval of the proposal by the Council and the European Parliament, the decision entered into
force on 8 July 2013. The EU decision requires Member States to report on their actions to
increase removals and decrease emissions of GHG from activities related to forestry and
agriculture. The legislation goes further than the UNFCCC decision by phasing in mandatory
accounting for grassland management and cropland management at the level of Member States.
This will enhance the overall environmental integrity of GHG accounting in the EU by making it
more complete. Accounting for the draining and rewetting of wetlands will remain voluntary, as in
the international context. The EU decision does not set a target for emission reductions in the
LULUCF sector. The Commission will consider whether to propose GHG targets for agriculture and
forestry sectors once the accounting rules have proven their value.
3.2.3
The transport sector
The transport sector is the second biggest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. More
than two thirds of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions are from road transport. Whilst
emissions from other sectors are generally falling, those from transport have increased 36% since
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 13 / 11
1990. The EU has policies in place to reduce emissions from a range of modes of transport. These
include:
Extension of the EU ETS to emissions from aviation (until 2016, only flights to and from the EU and
the three EEA-EFTA states);;
Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from new light-duty vehicles (passenger cars and vans), which
includes binding emissions targets;;
Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from new heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) in both freight and
passenger transport, which focuses on short-term action to certify, report and monitor emissions
from truck and buses;;
CO2 labelling of cars, including a label showing a car's fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions;;
A Low Carbon Fuel Standard which requires a reduction of the greenhouse gas intensity of vehicle
fuels by up to 10% by 2020.
3.3
Adaptation
Climate change mitigation and adaptation action must be developed hand in hand. To avoid the
most serious risks of climate change, global warming must be limited to below 2ºC above pre-
industrial level. Yet, however successful mitigation is, the impacts of climate change will keep
increasing in the coming decades. Adaptation action can address many of these risks: for instance,
each euro spent on flood protection could save six euros in damage costs. Several measures
provide co-benefits, such as in energy, agriculture or forestry.
3.3.1
EU Adaptation Strategy
The Commission adopted an EU Adaptation Strategy in April 2013. It promotes adaptation action
in order to contribute to a more climate-resilient Europe.
The Strategy aims to complement the activities of Member States by supporting the promotion of
greater coordination and information-sharing, and by ensuring that adaptation considerations are
addressed in all relevant EU policies. The Strategy focuses on three key objectives:
• Promoting action by Member States: The Commission will encourage all Member States to
adopt comprehensive adaptation strategies (currently 16 have strategies) and will provide
funding to help them build up their adaptation capacities and take action. The Strategy
specifically refers to LIFE funding, which is aimed at supporting capacity building and stepping
up adaptation. The Commission also supports adaptation in cities through the Mayors Adapt
initiative, a voluntary commitment within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors5.
• 'Climate-proofing' action at EU level by further promoting adaptation in key vulnerable
sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and cohesion policy, ensuring that Europe's infrastructure
is made more resilient, and promoting the use of insurance against natural and man-made
disasters. The EU Adaptation Strategy is accompanied by documents which explore relevant
sector-specific climate induced challenges, and the measures and tools which can be activated
to adapt to these challenges.
• Better informed decision-making by addressing gaps in knowledge about adaptation and
further developing the European climate adaptation platform (Climate-ADAPT) as the 'one-stop
shop' for adaptation information in Europe.
5
The Covenant of Mayors (www.covenantofmayors.eu) is the mainstream European movement involving
local and regional authorities, voluntarily committing to increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable
energy sources on their territories.

LIFE’s position within the overall suite of EU
climate finance tools
4.1
The mainstreaming approach
The existing climate policy toolkit of the EU is complemented and further enhanced by the so-
called "mainstreaming approach". Climate policy mainstreaming has begun at the strategic level by
the agreement of the European Council to place energy and climate goals amongst the Europe
2020 strategy's five headline targets. To further advance this horizontal process, the EU agreed in
February 2013 that at least 20% of its €960 billion budget to 2020 should be spent on Climate
change-related action. The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the period 2014-2020 will
therefore provide an important contribution to a shift towards a low-carbon and climate resilient
society.
Following what is undoubtedly a very innovative feature for a public budget, Climate change
mitigation and adaptation objectives will now be integrated into all main spending areas through
the inclusion of dedicated provisions in the basic legal acts for major EU instruments and
programmes. For centrally managed instruments climate expenditure will be tracked at the level of
projects. This would be the case for example of:
• Horizon2020, which has the objective to reserve 35% of its budget for climate-relevant action
in the field of research and innovation.
• The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which finances projects in the energy, transport and
digital sectors, including €23bn to smart transport infrastructure and €5bn to energy
infrastructure (mainly transmission grids for renewable energy).
• The Global Public Goods and Challenges Programme (GPGC) under the Development and
Cooperation Instrument (DCI), which establishes that 25% of the total budget must be spent on
climate and environment objectives.
European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds)
For the shared managed instruments, specific rules have been adopted to track Member States'
climate spending through the five European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds):
• The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF);;
• The European Social Fund (ESF);;
• The Cohesion Fund (CF);;
• The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD);;and
• The European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF).
The ESI Funds are altogether coordinated via the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR), which
sets out the means to achieve consistency with the economic policies of the EU and its Member
States, coordination mechanisms among the ESI funds themselves and with other EU policies and
instruments, horizontal principles and cross-cutting objectives. Climate mainstreaming is
embedded in the Thematic Objectives (TO) of the CPR: TO 4 and 5 are dedicated to climate
change mitigation and adaptation. The targets of each Member State are set in a Partnership
Agreement and translated into actions under the ESI Funds with their proper objectives and
priorities.
In the framework of EU Regional Policy, the ERDF will for example invest at least 20% into low-
carbon economy projects in more developed regions, 15% in transition regions and 12% in least-
developed regions. Under the reformed Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) compulsory Green

Direct Payments have been introduced in Pillar I, accounting for 30% of the national direct
payment envelope, which rewards farmers for respecting three obligatory agricultural practices,
namely maintenance of permanent grassland, ecological focus areas and crop diversification.
Under Pillar II, the EAFRD will finance Member States' Rural Development Programmes (RDPs)
2014-2020, which have now to comply with the legal obligation to earmark 30% of the budget of
certain measures for climate and environment objectives.
4.2
Targeted funding instruments
In addition, EU climate policies and the related legislation are promoted through a range of
targeted funding instruments, including:
4.2.1
NER300 – low-carbon technology development
Established by Article 10a(8) of the EU Emissions Trading Directive and further developed through
Commission Decision 2010/670/EU (NER300 Decision), the NER300 funding programme provides
substantial funding for the large-scale demonstration of environmentally-safe carbon capture and
storage (CCS) and innovative renewable energy (RES) within the European Union and it is one of
the world's largest programmes in this area. NER300 is so called because it is funded from the
sale of 300 million emission allowances from the New Entrants Reserve (NER) set up for the third
phase of the EU ETS. The funds from the sales are to be distributed to projects selected through
two rounds of calls for proposals, covering 200 million and 100 million allowances respectively.
NER 300 is managed by DG CLIMA in cooperation with the European Investment Bank and
Member States. It is one of the most conspicuous deliverable of the ETS in favour of innovation
and low-carbon technology.
The NER 300 first call for proposals was launched late 2010 and the Award Decision for 23 RES
projects was adopted in December 2012 (and later amended in 2014). No CCS project was
awarded at the time. At the moment, only one of the projects is already operational (an Italian
advanced biofuels project). The other projects will enter into operation between 2014 and 2016.
The second NER 300 call was launched in April 2013. A total of 32 projects were submitted, and
23 of them passed the evaluation process. The NER 300 second Award Decision, indicating which
projects will receive funding was expected to be adopted in June-July 2014.
4.2.2
LIFE - innovative climate projects
Within the overall EU budget for the period 2014-2020, the new Climate Action sub-programme of
the LIFE Programme for Environment and Climate Action will provide €864 million in co-financing
for climate projects in the following priority areas:
• Climate Change Mitigation, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions;;
• Climate Change Adaptation, focusing on increasing resilience to climate change;;
• Climate Governance and Information, focusing on increasing awareness, communication,
cooperation and dissemination on climate mitigation and adaptation actions.
As it will represent less than 0.5 % of all climate-relevant spending6, it will have to be used in a
strategic and innovative manner. According to the agreement between Member States and the
European Parliament, it is envisaged to complement the bulk of climate-relevant finance under the
other EU budget headings.
6
EU press release of 9 November 2013: The EU has agreed that at least 20% of its budget for 2014-2020 –
as much as €180 billion − should be spent on climate change-related action.

Development of climate change categories
The broad scope of climate change-relevant LIFE projects made grouping necessary in order to find
projects matching certain questions (e.g. to find projects dealing with carbon sequestration or
alternative energies etc.). Such categories were not available in the LIFE online project database,
the LIFE proposals, at the EC or other official sources (as far as could be ascertained from the desk
research).
The author therefore developed several sets of categories, tested them with a number of projects
secured the agreement of DG CLIMA to proceed with them in the frame of this study.
Application of the categories to more than 360 projects revealed the need for some fine tuning. As a
result of this testing phase, the following structure was reached:

Overview of LIFE projects in graphs
6.1
Numbers of projects and years selected
As indicated above, some 650 LIFE projects selected from various sources were checked for their
climate relevance, of which 366 were deemed suitable for inclusion in this study (see spreadsheet
database).
• In general, projects approved before 2000 were excluded, except 14 projects approved between
1994 and 1999 that appeared to be relevant. However, these 14 projects are not included in the
yearly statistics/graphs in order not to bias the results. Of the 366 projects, 73 projects (or 17%)
are LIFE2004 contracts or older.
• Projects that failed during implementation were not excluded, as valuable lessons can be
learned from the reasons for failure.
• Only a few LIFE Nature projects were recognised as climate relevant. A number of projects on
bog and mire restoration were taken into account because of the role these habitats can play in
avoiding methane emissions from soil and carbon sequestration. Eight such projects were
included, because of their focus on climate change and the size of the bogs involved.
6.2
Climate change projects in the LIFE strands, years and regions
As Figure
1 shows, there has been a considerable increase in the number of climate change projects
over the years It is important to note that only 61 of these projects have ‘climate’ in their title, so the
increase is not down to labelling or keywords, but is a consequence of the content of the projects.

replaced another small strand, TCY projects (for “third countries” outside the EU), which ended in
2006. A third small funding line PREparatory projects, has had fewer projects still. .
The main reason why few LIFE NAT projects are relevant to climate change is that projects dealing
with nature that have a focus on an innovative technology (e.g. forest management for climate
change resilience, biomass from Natura 2000 sites or eco-friendly agriculture) have mostly been
funded

Figure 3: Distribution of climate change projects by country for the years 2000-2012
Analysis of these data show a strong imbalance in the regional distribution of projects and funding.
For the period 2007-2012, at one end of the scale there were no projects in Ireland, Portugal and
some former TCY countries, at the other, there were 22 projects in France, 55 in Italy and 59 in
Spain (9%, 22% and 24% of the total respectively. In terms of funding, Spain is again the largest
recipient, with 52 m€ (18,2% of the total), whilst Italy has received 51 m€ (17,7%). Conversely the
UK has received 18 m€ for climate change projects and Hungary just 0,4 m€ (over six years).
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 23 / 11
This imbalance is not restricted to the climate relevant projects but concerns the whole LIFE
programme:, Italy and Spain are the Member States with the most projects in total (including 67% of
newly-selected LIFE ENV projects in 2013). The imbalance was evident during the years 2000 to
2006 already, but not to the current extreme. While the top ranking countries have seen massive
increases, the next dozen of countries has seen partly severe decreases.
In part this is a result of the fact that LIFE is a bottom-up programme and Italy and Spain submit by
far the most project applications. However, the distribution pattern strongly indicates that there may
be a potential for improvement. In order to ensure that LIFE utilises Europe’s joint environmental
innovative power in the best way, the EC should examine:
• Whether the current imbalance is desirable;;
• How Italy and Spain are able to produce so many more applications - and more successful ones
- than other Member States;;
• What the latter could learn in order to be equally successful;; and
• What the EC could do to enable more (successful) applications from regions that appear to
participate in LIFE below their potential.

EU contribution per project
The EU contribution per project is depicted in the graph below. The spike in 2006 is due to several
very large projects and at the same time a relatively small number of climate change projects in that
year. Excluding 2006, the average EU contribution of 0,64 m€ per project for the period 2000-2005
nearly doubled to 1,2 m€ for the years 2007-2012 ( (LIFE+).

Scoring of climate change projects
Since 2004, LIFE projects have been systematically scored by the LIFE Unit’s external monitoring
team (the Astrale consortium) after completion (Final Report) based upon a set of ‘best practice’
criteria, e.g. for ENV projects their contribution to immediate;; and long-term environmental,
economic and social improvements;; their degree of innovation and transferability;; their relevance to
policy;; and their cost-effectiveness.

Figure 5: Scoring of projects
As the sources used for the study did not contain these systematic scores but only general
descriptions, Figure 5 (above) only gives an estimate. However, a some 17% of the 213 projects for
which a score was available, did not perform well and another 3% were cancelled before they even
started. Cancelled projects were typically the result of co-financing issues. The failure rate of 17%
(one in six projects performing poorly) is within acceptable limits given the innovative character of
many LIFE ENV projects – innovation coming with the risk of failure. More data are needed to fully
assess the success rate of the LIFE programme with regards to climate change projects.
To increase awareness of the LIFE programme and improve the dissemination of project results,
annual awards (“Best” and “Best of the Best” LIFE Projects) are presented to those projects whose
results, if widely applied, could have the most positive impact on the environment. A long-list of
“Best” projects is based on the monitors’ scores. Representatives of the Member States then
choose the “Best of the Best” projects from this selection.

Graphs on general categories
After the administrative views on climate change projects in chapters 6.1 and 6.2, the following
chapters look more at content and stakeholder-related views.
6.3.1
Who initiates and coordinates LIFE projects?
The chart below shows the set of classifiers for “initiative/coordination” or “level of governance”.
“Company or single entity” may, for example, be a project led by a single company that implements
a prototype to solve a problem such as N2O removal in a production line.
On a broader level, a professional association or specialist research institute may coordinate a
project that benefits a whole industry or sector (e.g. the ceramic industry).
For municipalities, a typical example would be a Local Agenda 21 project or a Local Adaptation
Plan. In some cases this also involves the active participation of individual citizens or households.
Similar applies to regional planning one level up.
At a higher level again, national authorities may lead a LIFE project, e.g. preparing an ETS
implementation or extension or a National Adaptation Plan.
The level “Development cooperation” describes knowhow transfer to another country (“capacity
building”, which took place e.g. in the (now defunct) TCY strand.

number of projects
Figure 6: Level of governance in climate change projects.
In general the quite even distribution across the levels appears appropriate for the LIFE programme.
The large number of projects at the “company” level can be attributed to several factors, including:
• LIFE ENV has a focus on large-scale innovative demonstration, typically to be implemented in
industrial sites.
• High and locally-concentrated emissions are typically caused by specific companies (pressure to
act).
• LIFE projects require significant project management skills.

p. 29 / 11
6.3.2
Phases of the solution cycle
A LIFE project can also be characterised by the phase within the solution cycle: does the project
research the problem (e.g. how soil takes up carbon for sequestration), does it enable the regional
monitoring of CO2 emissions or is it more focused on the later stages (e.g. implementing a prototype
plant to remove N2O from a stream of exhaust air or implementing measures to restore bogs to
regain their sequestration function. Finally, if a technology proves superior, it may become
mandatory, which is the last phases in this solution cycle.

Figure 7: Division of LIFE projects by phase of the solution cycle addressed [in % of total number of
projects]
Figure 7 shows that nearly half of the projects analysed address the “hardware/plant/prototype”
phase, the remainder of the projects are fairly evenly distributed amongst the other seven phases.
This is in line with expectations given LIFE ENV’s focus on innovative technologies and methods.
Although LIFE a research programme, a handful of projects are engaged in “research” activities
(e.g. LIFE10.ENV/FR/000208 FO3REST: Research of ozone and climate effects on leaves). The
“Networking” phase in the cycle is naturally dominated by INF projects (not visible from the graph).
N.B.: “Weight %” in the title of the graph points to the fact, that one project can be assigned to more
than one phase in the cycle. 199 have been assigned to “hardware” and 77 to “implementation of
measures”. This would equal 54% of the 366 projects in total and 21% respectively. However, as
there are more assignations than projects the percentage figures in the graphic are lower.

Figure 8: Adaptation projects resource affected by climate change [in % of 59 adaptation projects].
The sectors for adaptation are self-explanatory. Two extremes are visible: “social: migration, social
tensions, jobs” and “agriculture and forestry”. The first one, “Social: migration, social tension, jobs” is
a typical social or economic topic and therefore not primarily associated with the environmental
programme LIFE. However, if climate will change considerably there will be enormous migration
streams and consecutively social changes. Therefore, at least there should be links between DG
CLIMA and DGs concerned with social issues in order to discuss overlapping know-how, potentials
and responsibilities.

Lists of selected project clusters
The following chapters present all 366 climate change projects in mostly small clusters, each of
which covers one sub-topic of climate change. For “adaptation”, the clusters each depict a
“Resource sector impacted by climate change”, for “mitigation”, the clusters each represent a sector
of activity. In total, more than 50 clusters list the total of the projects. The short descriptor gives the
shortest possible summary of each project’s objectives.
To access the clusters for the other sets of categories (like “primary effect of climate change” or
“Level of governance”) please refer to the electronic database in the annex. In the database you
also find the summary descriptions of the projects and you also can apply individual filters.
7.1
Adaptation projects
59 LIFE projects were found to deal with adaptation. Half of them – 28 projects - cover both
adaptation and mitigation issues. Thus adaptation has only a small share in the total of 366 climate
change LIFE projects. This may change with the just started new LIFE programme period from 2014
– 2020: DG CLIMA has set a focus on adaptation.

Figure 11: Adaptation projects by country
In five countries three quarters of all adaptation projects take or took place. Additionally, one third of
the Member States do not have any adaptation projects at all and thus do not appear in the figure
above. It is hard to believe that there is only need and potential for LIFE projects in such few
countries.
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 34 / 11
The following table shows that part of the total categories, which deal with adaptation. All adaptation
projects were put into at least one of the categories concerning “primary effects” and also in at least
one of the categories concerning the “resource sector impacted by climate change”.

temperature
32
Slow changes: water scarcity
36
Slow changes: temperature (air and water)
35
Slow changes: sea level

10
Social: migration, social tension, jobs
0
Unspecific private education/response
11
*) The numbers in the sub-categories may be higher than the number in the next higher group due to multiple
entries per project.
The sub-class “Resource sector impacted by climate change” provides a clearer distinction of the
projects than the “primary effects”, which overlap more with other projects (i.e. projects that deal
with more than one of its categories, e.g. with water scarcity as well as rising temperatures).
Therefore “Resource sector” has been chosen for the presentation of the projects in this print
version of the study. The following chapters give a compact glimpse on all adaptation projects (one
line for each project) in eight short lists, one for each of the eight categories “Agriculture…”,
“Marine…”, Biodiversity…” etc.
Within of the lists contain larger groups:
•
“Agriculture” with 24 projects (41% of the adaptation projects).
•
“Infrastructure/disaster prevention” with 22 projects (37%).

available.
There are no projects for this category. This is to be expected given that life is an environmental
funding programme. The expected impact of climate change on migration streams implies that there
could be scope for projects in this category, particularly as DG CLIMA will need to coordinate with
Directorates-General responsible for social issues in order to discuss overlapping know-how,
potentials and responsibilities.

Figure 12: Mitigation projects by country
Nearly half of all mitigation projects take or took place in three countries. A reason for this uneven
distribution by regions is not obvious from the project overviews. In order to make sure that the
innovative power of all Member States is utilised for the mostly European-wide challenges of climate
change, the EC should investigate why so many Member States so little involved in LIFE. As a
similar situation was found for adaptation and LIFE ENV in general, the issue goes beyond the topic
of climate change.

p. 46 / 11
The following table lists the categories dealing with mitigation. All mitigation projects were put into at
least one of these categories. In most cases they deal only with one of three groups (energy supply,
power/fuel consumption and non-CO2). In agriculture alone, several projects cover bio-gas
generation (group 1), energy savings (group 2) and decrease of methane emissions (group 3).

Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015

Within the class of mitigation projects there are four larger groups:
•
“Alternative energy supply” with 99 projects (20% of the mitigation projects)
This group was subdivided into 11 subtopics (see the lists below) during the classification
work because of the large number of projects.
•
“Industrial production” (76 projects, 16%)
For the time being this group has been subdivided into projects led by an industrial
company and those where the enterprise was a project partner. The author suggests
preparing a separate phase II study on “industry”.
•
“Transport/ mobility” (52 projects, 11%)
This group was subdivided into projects with and without involvement of urban/regional
planning (in the form of an authority leading the project).
•
“Buildings/housing” (50 projects, 10%)
Here two subgroups were found: Projects with a prototype character and those without.
All other project clusters are small enough to provide an easy and quick overview, and therefore did
not need further subdivision.
7.2.1
Energy supply: Power/fossil combustion (decrease fuel consumption)
There are seven mitigation projects on Power/fossil combustion (total budget: 20,6 m€;; funding: 9,1

7.2.2
Energy supply: carbon capture and storage (end-of-pipe)
There are six mitigation projects on carbon capture (total budget: 19,6 m€;; funding: 7,9 m€).
However, none of these project really stores CO2 (e.g. into a geological formation). Instead they
capture the CO2 from an exhaust gas and either produce biomass (e.g. algae for fuel and
chemicals) or yield pure CO2 to sell on the market.
The algae projects are also listed under LULUCF, as – in case they would be up-scaled to capture
considerable amounts of CO2 – they would occupy large areas.
Related to carbon capture is carbon sequestration (e.g. by additional growth of biomass) or the
prevention of GHG release (e.g. by restoration of bogs, which otherwise would release methane).

Energy consumption: Industrial production
There are 76 mitigation projects on “Industrial production” (total budget: 216,5 m€;; funding: 85,1
m€).
For the “Industry” focus in the 2015 LIFE call this group could be further investigated. This may be
done once more details of the EC’s requirements are made available in early 2015. For the time
being one subdivision was obvious from looking at the database:
In 46 such projects a company took a strong lead and gave the projects a certain ’look’ with a focus
on a present and pressing problem to be solved. In the other 30 projects the companies are in the
background as partners (e.g. when a city includes them in a local action plan or a university carries
out a more research-related project). For the former group (strong lead by company) the budgets
are 162,6 m€ (funding: 56,6 m€) and for the latter the total budget is 53,8 m€ (funding: 25,5 m€).

Energy consumption: Transport/mobility (including road)
There are 52 mitigation projects on transport/mobility (total budget: 141,6 m€;; funding: 58,0 m€).
A large group that involves many transport-related projects, “urban/regional planning”, was selected
to serve the ‘urban’ focus requested by DG CLIMA: 37 projects are listed in the table below (83,4
m€, funding 36,3 m€). Ten of these projects have “mobility” in their short descriptor and four
“logistic”. For further examination of the transport projects it could be useful to distinguish between
reducing traffic, organising traffic and making vehicles more eco-friendly (fuels, infrastructure).
The other 15 projects, in which neither urban nor regional authorities are in the lead (total budget:
58,2 m€;; funding: 21,7 m€) are listed in the second table below.

7.2.10 Energy consumption: Agriculture
There are 27 mitigation projects involving agriculture (total budget: 72,5 m€;; funding: 31,7 m€).
DG CLIMA specifically requested information on climate change projects in the agriculture sector.
From analysing the relevant LIFE projects it appears that agriculture is related to climate change in
several ways:
•
As a power consumer (directly via increasingly mechanised farming and indirectly via
fertilisers).
•
As a fuel producer (biogas, liquid and solid bio fuel/ biomass).
•
As an emitter of highly potent GHGs like methane (mainly cattle and dairy), ammonia and
nitreous oxide (fertiliser) and occasionally of methane due to de-watering of bogs and
wetlands.
•
As a carbon sink (captured carbon for green house horticulture, soil build-up measures,
afforestation, restoration of bogs to restart sequestration).
It does not appear feasible to subdivide this group of 27 projects as there are many overlaps which
would be lost with sub-grouping. Therefore all 27 are listed below.
Taking into account these diverse links to climate change and the large overall contribution to
emissions as well as sinks the number of projects is lower than expected. Reasons for this may
include the following:
•
The agri-sector is a user of technology and methods rather than a developer (LIFE ENV
only funds innovative solutions);;
•
There are other funding schemes especially for the agri-sector which are many times larger
than LIFE and which may fund necessary R&D work;; and
•
Mitigation measures often are not “revolutionary” but just require a certain market price to
encourage farmers to change their crops and procedures.
If the costs of energy, fertiliser and water rise and the rewards for eco-friendly farming make it
financially viable, there is hope that agriculture will change. These points should be taken into
account for the LIFE call 2014, which states as one of the focus topics
“Agriculture: implementation of low carbon farming practices with a transformational impact and
analysis and development of improvements for existing climate measures under CAP [Common
Agricultural Policy]”.

7.2.11 Energy consumption: LULUCF - Land use, land use change and forestry
There are 27 mitigation projects on LULUCF (total budget: 74,0 m€;; funding: 37,4 m€). (The co-
funding rate of above 50% is a result of the higher funding rate (75%) of certain NAT projects).
The 27 project can be clearly divided into three sub-groups:
• Restoration of bogs and mires to avoid methane emissions and restart carbon sequestration:
Seven NAT projects and one ENV project (quantifying the ecosystem service). As little financial
data were available by the end of the study, they are not summarised here.
• Forest projects for sequestration and carbon certificates:
Four projects (total budget: 7,0 m€;; funding: 3,4 m€).
• Algae projects for carbon capture and biomass:
Three projects (total budget: 14,4 m€;; funding: 6,0 m€).
• Other biomass production/energy crops (mainly for fuel):
Six projects (total budget: 11,9 m€;; funding: 5,9 m€).
• Other LULUCF projects, such asevaluation of effects and optimisation, carbon rich soils etc:
Five projects (total budget: 19,5 m€ funding: 9,5 m€).

There are 26 mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 36,2 m€;; funding: 17,2 m€), of which 10
are INF projects – which is in line with expectations, since INF projects usually target the general
public.
The 26 projects can be divided into three small but distinct sub-groups:
• Change of private behaviour as a direct aim:
Thirteeen projects, 10 of them INF projects (total budget: 18,9 m€;; funding: 8,6 m€).
• Local action plans by the commune/local authority (preparation of private engagement, indirect):
Eight projects (total budget: 11,9 m€;; funding: 5,9 m€).
• End-user devices/consumer goods:
Four projects (total budget: 4,4 m€ funding: 2,0 m€).

There are 61 mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 141,6 m€;; funding: 63,0 m€).
This large group of projects could be subdivided into seven smaller groups with little overlap. The
charts below show the distribution of projects, budget and strands.
For each of the seven sub-groups a small list of four to 15 projects follows on the next pages.

7.2.13.3 Non-CO2 emissions: Methane from bogs
There are eight mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 21,2 m€;; funding: 12,5 m€).
There are many more bogs and mires projects in LIFE NAT. The ones below were included as they
cover larger areas or many smaller ones.
One notable inclusion in this list is a recently-started ENV project that will try to quantify the
ecosystem service of peatlands, i.e. put values on ecological and economic effects.

7.2.13.4 Non-CO2 emissions: Industrial processes
There are eight mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 6,5 m€;; funding: 2,2 m€).
They either deal with end-of-pipe technologies to remove/recycle emissions (e.g. nitrous oxide) from
an industrial plant or with integrated technologies using alternative cooling agents or construction
material which a lower carbon footprint. The latter climate effect may appear indirect, but its effect
often is underestimated due to the size of the material streams involved (e.g. building material and
construction waste, which was the subject of the RENEW BUILDING project).

7.2.14 INF (Information and Communication) projects on mitigation
There are 13 INF projects on mitigation (total budget: 177 m€;; funding: 88 m€).
Ten of these projects have already been listed under “non-specific private/bottom-up change of
habits” in the mitigation chapter, and thus are simply copied here (total budget: 11,2 m€;; funding:
5,6 m€).
Of the other three projects, two are on air conditioning systems and one is about landscape-scale
conservation initiatives (total budget: 6,5 m€;; funding:3,2 m€).
Half of the INF mitigation projects also deal with adaptation (and thus appear in both lists).

Crosscutting topics and projects
In this chapter two groups of projects are highlighted that do not fit into the sector-specific clusters
identified in the previous chapters on adaptation and mitigation. The two following groups show the
additional capabilities of the database created for this study.
The first one is “GHG monitoring”, one of the focus topics of the LIFE 2014 call. GHG monitoring
corresponds to “measuring/monitoring” – which is a category in the set phase of the solution cycle.
The second group includes “crosscutting” projects, i.e. those assigned to more than one sub-topic of
climate change.
7.3.1
Crosscutting topic: greenhouse gas monitoring
The sets of categories do not contain a special item “GHG monitoring”. However,
“measuring/monitoring” is a separate category and includes those projects with a considerable focus
on GHG monitoring.
There are 17 projects (two PREP and 15 ENV) that feature aspects of GHG monitoring (this
includesmonitoring by measured emissions as well as by calculated emissions).

Crosscutting projects with a broad scope
This group of projects was selected by looking at how many categories were assigned to them in the
database by the author. Therefore, these projects are “crosscutting” in the sense that they combine
sub-topics which other projects work on separately. Therefore the projects in this group should be
equipped with or have yielded overarching knowhow. From the project title alone this overarching
aspect is not really visible. Thus, parts of the texts for objective and results have been added from
the LIFE project database.

EC4MACS successfully joint forces of several sectoral simulation systems via harmonisation of data
acquisition, formats and inter-links between the simulation systems. Thus it is now possible to calculate
scenarios with unprecedented reliability in a short period of time.
The project has remarkably enhanced not only the quantitative base for the development of policies in the
fields of air pollution and climate, but also the way in which options, scenarios, measures and costs/benefits
are being negotiated.
As the data are provided by the national experts and the data base as well as the methods for calculation are
absolutely transparent and widely discussed and agreed, it is hard for the involved experts and politicians to
disagree with the results. This has its impact on the selection and implementation of more (cost) efficient
measures in the above fields.
During the European-wide review of all air legislation and measures the EU has used EC4MACS for the impact
assessment of different scenarios. The impact assessment already was evaluated as the best assessment for
long time. As a result the "ambition level" (the amount of technical possible measures which will become
obligatory) was raised from meagre 25% (recent decades) to now 75%, as EC4MACS could prove, that this
level of measures would be cost effective, i.e. would have higher benefits for the population than costs. This
rise equals about 3 billion Euro per year additional expenditures into air quality improvement.

The VACCIA project studied the vulnerability of ecosystem services to Climate Change and the possibilities for
different sectors of society to adapt to these changes. These studies allowed probability-based vulnerability
assessments to be made. In particular, the project assessed how anticipated Climate Change would change
the production of selected main ecosystem services/sectors (biodiversity, forest and agricultural production,
carbon sequestration, water resources and quality, fishery production, tourism), and identified critical change
thresholds.
The derivation of these Climate Change scenarios and vulnerability assessments (database) was the main
result of the project. The use of satellite data based GMES-services for making these assessments and
adaptation studies (maps, databases) was another key result.

The LIFE MONIMET project aims to fill knowledge gaps regarding carbon and water balances and their
relationship to Climate Change in boreal zones including regions' vulnerability. It implements an innovative
approach of in-situ monitoring and mapping of Climate Change indicators by combing different information
sources describing phenology, CO2 and CH4 exchange, land cover, snow evolution and albedo. The
information sources include in-situ observations and Earth Observation (EO) (satellite) data, as well as
ancillary data supporting vulnerability assessments. Dedicated high-resolution regional models will be applied
to describe climate and land surface fluxes of carbon and water by different ecosystems.
Actions carried out to achieve these objectives shall involve:
•
Collecting information, data and expertise that is currently spread over several institutes, in order to build a
comprehensive platform for analysing Climate Change effects on seasonal dynamics of various
phenomena;;
Establishing links and adding value to existing monitoring mechanisms such as ICOS and EO systems
(GMES) and making use of data acquired in previous LIFE-funded - and other - projects related to
ecosystem monitoring;;
•
Creating a new webcam monitoring system to facilitate EO systems by providing time-series of field
observations for calibration and validation, and to improve the assessment of forest ecosystem services;;
•
Synthesising modelling and observation approaches to identify climate indicators;; and
•
Linking the Climate Change indicators and their effects in order to create vulnerability maps of boreal
zones in connection to Climate Change scenarios.

The main goal of the BLUE AP project is to provide Bologna with a Local Adaptation Plan, to make the town
more resilient in the face of Climate Change. The project will
•
Learn from and disseminate the best EU experiences in adaptation planning at the town level, and adjust
them to fit the specific Italian situation;;
•
Consolidate a governance and planning model usable in the large number of Italian cities already
committed (more than 1000 Covenant of Mayors signatories), but not experienced in strategic planning for
climate adaptation;;
•
Establish an information system that is comprehensive and innovative (integrating environmental with
social data) and that will produce new information about Climate Change risks and vulnerability in
Bologna;;
•
Offer “start up” support to local stakeholders, with the aim of designing and launching some of the
measures and actions defined by the Local Adaptation Plan.
Expected results:
•
A protocol involving stakeholders’ in climate adaptation, based on 100 “Stakeholder Challenges” and 100
“Financing Challenges” surveys. An analysis report summarising stakeholders’ needs and opportunities;;
•
A baseline report addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the Bologna municipality in the face of the
need to adapt to Climate Change;;
•
Preparation of the Bologna Local Urban Environment Adaptation Plan (BLUE AP);;
•
The political commitment by the local government to adopt and start the implementation of the BLUE AP;;
•
The design and start up of at least six pilot actions, as part of the initial implementation of BLUE AP.

The project aims to apply and evaluate methods of municipal management of Climate Change, assessing their
cost-effectiveness in meeting the goals for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG). This will include both
adaptation and mitigation measures.
An action plan to combat Climate Change will be adopted and new regulations for protecting the atmosphere,
municipal planning of green spaces, parks and public gardens will be endorsed. A set of incentives and
methods to encourage the involvement of businesses and commercial sectors in combating Climate Change
will also be developed.
The project will calculate initial emissions at the beginning of the project in order to help assess the results
achieved at the end. In this way the project hopes to provide a model for other municipalities of similar size
and/or socio-economic characteristics (i.e., a growing suburb). In parallel, a strong awareness-raising
campaign about Climate Change will target the general public, schools and main business sectors.

The ‘Julia 2030’ project was set up to implement and demonstrate new (and further develop exiting) methods,
procedures and tools, as part of a climate strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Helsinki
metropolitan area. The project actions would concentrate on public procurement, use of public premises,
transport and waste management.
Results:
The ‘Julia 2030’ project developed and demonstrated opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions. It carried out
extensive campaigns to promote awareness of CO2 emissions and ways to reduce them by making informed
choices.
•
"Eco-supporters": The project promoted environmental responsibility in a wide range of workplaces
through the creation of ‘eco-supporters’. Eco-support activities begin by appointing and training one or
more eco-supporters. The state of environmental affairs at the workplace is then reviewed to determine
any improvements that could be made. Finally, the eco supporters guide and inspire their colleagues in
implementing new ecological practices.
The target was greatly exceeded, with a total of 640 new eco-supporters trained.
•
"CO2 calculators" for several sectors were developed and tested, including public premises (calculator for
monitoring the greenhouse gas emissions of 32 selected pilot premises like schools, day care centres,
libraries, public swimming pools, community centres etc.). Between 2009 and 2011 GHG emissions
(including those relating to work-related travelling by staff, paper and waste) of the pilot sites fell by 8%.
•
"Green public procurement": For this area general guidelines compiled, which include a comprehensive
study of public procurement regulations and practical instructions on how to arrange competitive tendering
for various purchases of goods and services. For five product groups the project developed a specific
JUHILAS tool for calculating the carbon footprint. In the tendering process its footprint results are used as
an evaluation criterion.
•
The project specified lifecycle-based GHG emission factors for 15 types of waste, which were incorporated
into the Petra waste benchmarking service used by businesses and public administration, as well as into
the waste flows monitoring system of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. A new Konsta waste calculator was
developed for use by households, enabling them to assess their own waste volumes and the resulting
GHG emissions. A new model called Emmi was developed for forecasting municipal waste volumes.
•
Transport sector: The project provided a very user-friendly CO2 calculators to help residents choose the
best modes of personal mobility from the point of view of Climate Change mitigation. A chocolate
calculator (indicating the energy consumed when walking) was incorporated into the walking and cycling
section of the Journey Planner. The Jälki carbon calculator for weekday transport paints a broader picture
of climate emissions, and also provides tips on more climate friendly ways of getting around.
•
Within the ‘Julia 2030’ project, a regional Climate Change adaptation strategy was developed. This
strategy aims at preparing the region for the consequences of and to reduce the region’s vulnerability to
Climate Change. Translating efforts to reduce CO2 emissions into clear policy initiatives will require a long
time. Nevertheless, cost savings can be achieved in the running of public buildings, the procurement of
goods, the selection of transport modes and the handling of waste.

The main objective of the CHANGING THE CHANGE project was to provide Climate Change information to the
Galician agro-forestry sector and the general public. The project also aimed to bring about a shift of attitude in
farmers towards sustainable management alternatives (renewable energies and bio fuels, recycling, energy
efficiency measures, organic farming, climate adapted crops etc.)
The project foresaw the organisation of 41 workshops to key stakeholders, the attendance at relevant fairs, the
design of awareness raising materials and articles in the press, the establishment and monitoring of a series of
indicators at 2000 farms and a personalised advisory office in each of the 37 Galician counties.
Results:
The CHANGING THE CHANGE project completed all planned activities with great success.
The workshops with around 1300 farmers were useful and generated considerable interest and the chance to
increase self esteem (especially among the 500 children involved). More than 130 000 people attended two big
fairs in Galicia.
Technicians at the 37 agrarian offices in Galicia acted as environmental advisors (new legislation, possible
environment-linked subsidies, implementation of good practices for mitigation and adaptation to Climate
Change) for nearly 7000 requests for information.
2000 people took part in three surveys carried out every six months to monitor the impact and the progress of
the adoption of good practices:
•
Increase in the use of bio fuels;;
•
Increase in the surface of solar panels installed;;
•
Decrease in the consumption of water;;
•
Increase of agricultural surface dedicated to agrofuels crops;;
•
Decrease in the use of nitrogen fertilisers/Increase in the use of organic fertilisers;;
•
Increase of carbon content of soils;;
• Increase of forest plantations.
Communication activities included the production of ‘Eco-guides’, brochures, posters, stickers, conference
materials and educational materials for schools. The project received wide coverage in regional and local
media.
Climate Change issues are now sustainably embedded in the day-to-day activity of technicians.

The SOLMACC LIFE project aims to demonstrate a set of innovative, climate-friendly (mitigation and
adaptation) farm practices under experimental conditions.
The project will demonstrate a set of four, innovative, climate-friendly farming practices:
1. Optimised on-farm nutrient recycling;;
2. Optimised crop rotation with legume-grass leys;;
3. Optimised tillage system;; and
4. Agroforestry.
These will be implemented on 12 organic farms in Sweden, Germany and Italy.
The project expects to show a reduction of around 15% in the carbon footprint of plant products and greater
resilience to the consequences of Climate Change on the pilot farms. It also expects to show coherence with
other sustainability objectives of the EU, such as the control of soil erosion, biodiversity conservation and
enhancement, and the efficient management of natural resources, such as water.
The project is still running. Expected results:
•
The successful implementation of an innovative set of climate-friendly farm practices on twelve organic
farms in Sweden, Germany and Italy;;
•
A 15% reduction in GHG emissions from agricultural activities;;
•
An improved capacity to adapt to the negative effects of Climate Change;;
•
A richer debate on EU policy around Climate Change and agriculture.

The main objective is to encourage the development and implementation of landscape-scale conservation
initiatives, involving many partners, in 34 priority areas across the UK.
These areas, known as ‘Futurescapes’, cover a total area of 2.18 million ha and include populations of 3.83
million people. The 34 areas have been chosen to give good geographical coverage and to reflect both their
need and potential.
Additional objectives are to carry out high-level advocacy work to promote the landscape-scale approach and
to disseminate information about the project to relevant stakeholders throughout the EU. The key messages
will be that landscape-scale conservation is important and that it can bring major benefits to local communities
as well as to wildlife. The main actions will involve the employment of a team of regional officers to lead the
communication work targeting potential partners and funders. Their work will help lead to the identification and
delivery of conservation projects by the partnerships. They will be supported by public engagement staff to
focus on communicating with the general public and schools.
The project is still running. Expected results:
•
Establishment of active partnerships in each of the project areas. This may involve contact with 10-40
organisations within each area and agreement on 3-5 practical tasks per area, covering about 10% of the
total area (c. 200 000 ha);; and
•
Engagement with up to 10 000 members of the public in each Futurescape. This will be supported by a
communications strategy.

Conclusions and recommendations
The main aim of this thematic LIFE study is to provide useful information about the solutions the
LIFE programme contributes to the mitigation of and adaptation to Climate Change. This information
is relevant not only to DG ENV, but also to DG CLIMA and EASME (both newly involved in the
management of LIFE since 2014), to the EC’s Thematic Units, to LIFE National Contact Points and
to climate change projects. The study should also strengthen the link between the Units in charge of
the management of operational projects and Thematic Units dealing mainly with environmental
policy.
Two-step approach
Already from the creation of a separate DG on Climate Action one can assume that climate change
is a broad topic. This is so because the main emission source of GHG – namely the combustion of
fossil fuels – is very closely related to energy generation and energy consumption. Accordingly, it is
present in an extremely wide range of sectors and activities – and in turn in a mass of LIFE projects.
This fact makes it necessary to approach the topic in two steps or phases:
• Firstly to identify climate change-relevant projects, classify them and provide an easy way of
filtering the 366 total projects in line with individual requirements;; and
• Secondly to choose sub-topics of climate change and carry out a more detailed analysis (i.e.
comparable to previous thematic studies).
The second step – or phase II – can only be done after the first one.
This study therefore concentrates on the first of these two steps and has produced a database and
search tool covering the breadth of climate change LIFE projects. The discussion of individual
projects and the highlighting of their results are left for the user or for further detailed studies in the
future (e.g. on climate change mitigation in agriculture, industry or energy supply). This approach
proves to be of high value for users who need to find answers to questions such as
•
Which LIFE projects have covered a certain climate change subtopic?
•
Has LIFE already funded projects similar to a newly-submitted proposal?
•
Which beneficiaries should contact each other due to similarities in their projects?
For the general public, Astrale has produced a LIFE Focus brochure on LIFE and Climate change
mitigation. A second publication, LIFE and Climate change adaptation, will follow in 2015.
Successful completion and test of step 1: the classification and the database
It was only possible to test if the work done to define the classifiers and to attribute each of the 366
projects to one or more of those classifiers would pay off towards the end of the study. Tests
indicate that the classifications work as intended: as the clusters generated accurately show the
contribution of LIFE to the particular sub-topics. The study (and the annexed database) gives the
reader an easy and yet precise means of accessing projects of individual interest. As no such
structure for the broad topic of climate change had been identified at the beginning of this process,
the newly-developed classifications may be an additional benefit of this study.
The text/print version displays all 366 projects in more than 50 clusters. This leaves an average of
six to 10 LIFE projects per cluster, i.e. a specific sub-topic. A few larger mitigation clusters with
higher numbers of projects remain: “industrial processes”, “transport/mobility“ and
“housing/construction”. The further subdivision of these clusters can be done individually in the
attached spreadsheet database using the filter functions provided (year, country, prototype etc.).

Impressive scope of the LIFE programme
The fact that there are 366 projects with considerable links to climate change demonstrates that
climate change is a major topic in the LIFE programme. The EU has contributed some 350 m€ to
these projects, helping to mobilise a total budget of some 900 m€. (Exact figures are not available
as the budgets for some failed projects can only be estimated and for the projects still running only
proposed budgets exist.)
For this study, several sets of classifications were used on the projects concerned. It turned out that
for any one of the more than 50 categories a group of several projects exists dealing explicitly with
this category (with “social tensions” being the one only missing - more details below). Therefore, a
second conclusion is that LIFE is operating across the full scope of climate change categories.
Imbalance towards mitigation
In general adaptation (with a total of 59 projects) lags behind mitigation (335 projects) within LIFE.
Confronted with the immediate threat of global warming a private household would probably put all
its efforts in getting prepared for the change. However, the changes are beyond the planning
horizon of most families. Why then is mitigation the dominant topic, when effects of mitigation not
only are as distant as global warming but on top of that are beyond the control of individual efforts
(private as well as national), because private inputs have to be shared globally? The author sees
two reasons for this puzzle:
•
Most of the mitigation measures come with a short-term financial bonus (saving energy
costs or getting refunds for alternative energy production), whilst in adaptation there is no
short-term refund.
•
There is a very high level of consensus and fear concerning the direction of climate change
(warmer) and the major cause (CO2). Only with such unison and settled conviction it is
possible to push forward a task as large as halting global warming, without a public uproar
considering the large expenditures and increasingly tighter regulations.
The author notes that debate of these fundamentals is not taking place, which appears unusual for a
pluralistic society. However, when taking global warming for granted, it still appears quite optimistic
to focus so much on mitigation: It implies a) that humankind has the potential to keep warming
below 2 °C, b) that all nations with considerable CO2 emissions will join in and c) that they will do so
in time. DG CLIMA has announced it plans to put more emphasis on adaptation in LIFE 2014-2020.
It appears to be a good idea to do so. However, most of the mitigation projects not only cut down
emissions but also save energy – and often are profitable (especially in the industry concerned). For
pure adaptation projects such a direct incentive rarely exists or is harder to calculate and
communicate. This may be challenging. Bottom line: It may be high time to increase awareness and
action on the adaptation side.
The topic “Social: migration, social tension, jobs” caused by climate change has not been addressed
by any LIFE climate change projects. For most people, the environmental consequences of climate
change (water scarcity, extreme weather etc) will pale into insignificance compared to the socio-
economic impacts: income loss, rising costs, migration, tension – and the potential for social unrest.
It is difficult to draw a line where “environment” ends and “the social” starts. Therefore the EC bodies
managing the LIFE programme should consider ways in which LIFE projects may address social
topics and, at the very least, create links to those DGs concerned with social issues in order to
discuss overlapping know-how, potentials and responsibilities.
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015

p. 104 / 11
Should the LIFE programme set specific funding goals for topics that have been omitted so
far?
Derived from the experience of many years of monitoring LIFE projects and from compiling several
synthesis reports on LIFE ex-post monitoring 8, the author would like to share the following points:
•
There are many more problems to be solved than funding by LIFE could cover.
•
A high benefit for the environment can only be yielded from well-run projects with
sustainable results. There is no point in pushing projects on a very specific topic in
exchange for a lower chance of sustainable benefits.
•
Ex-post evaluations have identified the key criteria for successful and sustainable ENV
projects: motivated beneficiaries and highly-effective project execution.
•
With the new LIFE programme for the period 2014-2020 a new group of “Integrated
Projects” will be able to sustain concentration on a specific topic for a longer period.
Bottom line: The focus topics for the LIFE calls should be broad enough to obtain a sufficient
number of high quality proposals. Concerning the topic “Social: migration, social tension, jobs”
mentioned above as an example: LIFE would not be able to “create” worthwhile project proposals
just by putting an emphasis on that issue. Therefore, it is suggested that in discussions with other
DGs and national governments a feasible way of sharing the responsibility has to be found. This will
ensure that if there are no LIFE projects on social tension, programmes managed by other DGs
could develop suitable solutions.
An imbalance in the distribution of projects
As depicted in the charts in chapter 6.2, there is a very uneven regional distribution of LIFE projects
and funding. Three quarters of the 59 adaptation projects take place in five countries. One-third of
Member States have not had any adaptation projects at all. Between 2000 and 2012 the top two
countries Spain and Italy accounted for 40% of all mitigation and adaptation projects, and this trend
is increasing: Italy and Spain had 45% of the projects funded between 2007 and 2012 and 68% of
all LIFE ENV projects (not just climate change) funded in the 2013 LIFE ENV call.
It should be pointed out that LIFE is a bottom up programme and Italy and Spain also submit by far
the most project applications. However, the distribution pattern indicates that there may be a
potential for optimisation. In order to make sure that LIFE gets the most out of Europe’s joint
environmental innovative power the EC should examine this issue.
Other imbalances
The fact that 90% of LIFE climate change projects have been financed under the ENV strand is not
considered problematic. Rather it is an expected consequence of how objectives are distributed
between the strands (see chapter 6.2 “Climate change projects in the LIFE strands, years and
regions”).
Projects also appear to be adequately distributed across levels of governance (local, regional etc).
Concerning the distribution within the “solution cycle” the author also does not see an issue of
concern. The EC may prefer a higher share of “Regulation/Standardisation” projects. However, it
should be noted that LIFE ENV has a considerable focus on innovative and demonstrative projects,
which usually are ahead of standardisation and regulation. Also, the majority of projects are focused
on solving individual challenges. Contributing to a regulation is thus a secondary issue, unless the
regulation itself puts pressure on the beneficiaries.

LIFE call 2014: Focus topic “Agriculture”
The LIFE call 2014 lists as one of the focus topics:
“Agriculture: implementation of low carbon farming practices with a transformational impact and
analysis and development of improvements for existing climate measures under CAP”. The
following findings should be taken into account for the agriculture projects:
From analysing the relevant LIFE projects it appears that agriculture is related to climate change in
several ways:
•
As a power consumer (directly via increasingly mechanised farming and indirectly via
fertilisers).
•
As a fuel producer (biogas, liquid and solid bio fuel/ biomass).
•
As an emitter of highly potent GHGs like methane (mainly cattle and dairy), ammonia and
nitreous oxide (fertiliser) and occasionally of methane due to de-watering of bogs and
wetlands.
•
As a carbon sink (captured carbon for green house horticulture, soil build-up measures,
afforestation, restoration of bogs to restart sequestration).
Taking into account these diverse links to climate change and the large overall contribution to
emissions as well as sinks the number of projects is lower than expected. Reasons for this may
include the following:
•
The agri-sector is a user of technology and methods rather than a developer (LIFE ENV
only funds innovative solutions);;
•
There are other funding schemes especially for the agri-sector which are many times larger
than LIFE and which may fund necessary R&D work;; and
•
Mitigation measures often are not “revolutionary” but just require a certain market price to
encourage farmers to change their crops and procedures.
If the costs of energy, fertiliser and water rise and the rewards for eco-friendly farming will be
competitive, there is hope that the agriculture will change and bring in a considerable contribution to
the fields mentioned above where agriculture is linked with climate change.
Suggested steps for further in-depth analyses
Many of the more than 50 clusters, which evolved from this study, do not need further elaboration.
They comprise only a handful or a dozen projects and those readers who need to find out what LIFE
has done so far on that specific topic, can get further details with little effort.
In order to facilitate detailed analysis of larger groups of projects (e.g. ones about “industrial
processes” or “agriculture”), thematic experts within (and outside) the EC will need to formulate
specific objectives and requirements and collaborate with the external monitoring team according to
a set timeline.
One potential area for a detailed analysis could be the “Diverse roles of agriculture within climate
change”. Agriculture is a focus topic for the 2014 LIFE call and will continue to be of importance in
the years to come.
With 76 climate change mitigation projects focusing on industrial processes, “industry” could also be
a suitable topic for an in-depth thematic study.
A chance for networking
This document and the annexed project database are not only of help for experts in the EC but are
also a chance for those involved in climate change projects to find out who else is working on similar
topics, and to get in contact with other projects. Therefore, the distribution of this study to as many
as possible climate change projects is a chance for networking, which in turn would be positive for
LIFE and for the environment.

Executive summary
This thematic LIFE study provides information on solutions brought by the LIFE programme to
mitigation or adaptation to climate change.
The study is targeted at experts within the EC (especially DG CLIMA) as well as to the general
public, who search for reference LIFE projects in various fields related to climate change.
In view of the very high number of projects linked to climate change (CC) - 366 projects - it was
decided to take a two-phase approach. This study comprises the first phase: It identifies projects
relevant to CC, classifies them and makes it easy to filter by specific search criteria.
These may be questions such as:
•
“Which LIFE projects have covered a certain subtopic?”
•
“Has LIFE already funded a project similar to a new proposal?”
•
“Which projects should contact each other due to similarities?”
To this end, the study contains a large part of more than 50 small project clusters of systematically
defined sub-topics of climate change. In addition, it comes with a spreadsheet database, which
contains additional information on the projects and strong filter features.
Based on the structured information collated during this first phase, in a later second phase it will
be possible to conduct a more detailed analysis of sub-topics such as ‘climate change and
industrial processes’ or ‘climate change in agriculture’, (i.e. comparable to the previous thematic
studies).
Impressive scope of the LIFE programme
After the clusters were categorised into graphs and lists, it became clear that the LIFE programme
delivers an impressive scope of solutions and innovative approaches concerning the full range of
sub-topics of climate change.
•
With 366 projects funded, climate change is a major theme in the LIFE programme.
•
Between 2000 and 2012, the EU contributed about 350 m€ to projects relevant for climate
change with a total budget of some 900 m€.
The breadth of coverage is also impressive: the LIFE programme has dealt with all bar one of more
than 50 CC subtopics. Although there are more projects in some categories (e.g.
‘housing/construction’. ‘industry’ or ‘road transport’) than in others (e.g. ‘railway’), at this stage of
analysis, the funding programme appears fairly balanced in terms of thematic coverage, as well as
in other aspects examined.
However, three issues of imbalance were also found:
•
There is a striking regional imbalance, with two countries (Spain and Italy) dominating the
LIFE projects.
•
There is an imbalance between the two main themes, as adaptation with 59 projects lags
behind mitigation with 335 projects.
•
A third imbalance concerns the topic ‘Social: migration, social tension, jobs’. So far, this
social tension topic is not visible in LIFE projects.
The classifications developed during this study have provided a suitable structure for the broad
topic of climate change. As no such structure had been found at the outset, it may be an additional
benefit of this study.

Introduction
The LIFE Environment and Eco-Innovation Unit (now LIFE Environment Unit) requested that
Astrale GEIE should, in the context of the Enhancing Tasks of LIFE monitoring contracts, assess
the contribution of LIFE projects to the implementation, dissemination and further development of a
number of EU environmental policies and legislation. Starting with the ‘pilot study’ in 2011 focusing
in particular on waste and resource efficiency, Astrale GEIE developed a methodology that has
subsequently been used and adapted to produce a series of thematic studies including, waste, air
& noise, soil, water and most recently, marine environment.
In 2014, the LIFE Unit requested a similar piece of work that would focus on the adaptation to and
mitigation of the negative effects of climate change (prepared as part of Astrale Gamma contract
2014).
2.1
Principal objectives of the study
Astrale GEIE’s communications remit covers a range of tasks (updating the LIFE website,
compilations of new and Best projects, digital newsletters, etc). Part of this remit covers the
production of thematic studies and LIFE Focus (thematic) brochures. In 2014, it was agreed to
produce both a thematic study and LIFE ENV Focus brochure on climate change. The following
table outlines the different objectives of each :

As an additional requirement, DG CLIMA requested that the thematic study should support the
selection of LIFE climate action projects in future LIFE calls. It would do this by providing an
overview of what LIFE has done to date, by identifying climate change sub-topics that may have
received less (or no) support, and by making it possible to quickly identify whether or not project
proposals were similar to already-funded LIFE projects. .
Based on the requirements outlined above, the thematic study can thus be said to have the
following specific objectives:
• Present the main current EU policies and legislation regarding CC
• Review all climate change-related LIFE projects to examine trends and costs of implementation
(both total and EU contributions).
• Develop sub-topics and categories in order to subdivide the wide spectrum of climate-relevant
topics.
• Group the large number of projects by these categories.
• Check for imbalances in the climate change field of the LIFE programme.
• Provide a tool for quick access to relevant projects in order to aid the selection of climate
relevant projects in the upcoming LIFE calls.
2.2
Methodology of this study
The format and content of the report greatly differs from the previous study reports produced for
the waste, water, air, noise and maritime sectors.
At the beginning of the study, it was not clear how many LIFE climate projects there had been,
since projects prior to LIFE+ (2007 onwards) were not tagged with a climate identifier. Identifying
appropriate projects involved the following steps: Firstly, projects that were obviously irrelevant to
climate were excluded;; secondly, projects approved before the year 2000 were excluded (with the
exception of 14 projects from 1994 to 1999 that appeared interesting). This left a ‘long list’ of more
than 650 LIFE projects from 2000 to 2012 that had to be checked manually. Analysis of the
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 8 / 11
background and objectives sections of the online project summaries of each of these projects led
to the final list of 366 relevant projects.
Projects approved in 2011 and 2012 have only recently started and many more are still ongoing
and haven't been completed. They have been included in the scope of the study as it is important
to know who is currently working on which topic. Underperforming and failed projects have also
been included as they may provide valuable information for projects with similar objectives.
It was decided that instead of cherry-picking 50 projects to to give a cross-section of the range of
LIFE projects within the climate change topic, it would be much more helpful to provide a tool for
experts and those responsible for managing the LIFE programme: A tool to search the data and
pinpoint projects that match a precise user query.
As for previous thematic studies, the first step was to research the policy background and current
developments. The author then used two databases to find LIFE projects in the field of climate
change. These were the Astrale internal LIFEtrack database and the (public-facing) LIFE project
database, available online at the LIFE website1. By combining these sources, the author is
confident that all relevant projects have been captured.
By then it was clear that there would be more projects on the topic than in previous thematic
studies and the reader – or rather, user – would require a tool in order to:
1) Filter an appropriate set of projects from the total number of climate change projects,
2) Put the resulting information into lists, which can easily be scanned;; and
3) Provide links to further details regarding the individual projects.
Regarding the first requirement, five to 20 projects appeared the optimum number. Precise
categorisation of the 366 total366 climate change projects would thus be essential to achieving this
target. The importance of defining such categories often is undervalued. Their development is
described in an later chapter. The categories proved very useful as a means of finding the clusters
of projects listed in section B of this report.
The second requirement was to make the filtered results both compact and comprehensible. Each
project has an acronym, however, this by itself normally cannot explain what the project is about.
Conversely, the full project title may be 20 words or more (e.g. Zero Emission Firing strategies for
ceramic tiles by oxy-fuel burners and CO2 sequestration with recycling of by-products), which can
make reading through a list of selected projects rather strenuous.
Therefore the author – after reading the “background”, “objective” and “results” paragraphs for
each project – created an ultra-short descriptor for each project. For the above example it was
“Oxy-firing and CO2 sequestration in greenhouse”.
The third requirement for the user is to have easy access to more detailed information. Thus we
have included the background, objectives and results sections of each relevant project summary in
the spreadsheet database that is an integral part of this study.
An example of how the information is presented in the print version of the study is shown below:

In the database version, the same example project is presented as follows:
LIFE12.ENV/IT/000424 LIFE ZEF-tile
Oxy-firing and CO2 sequestration in greenhouse
Background
When firing tiles, CO2 is released due to the oxidation of natural gas. The amount of CO2 produced
per unit mass of finished product ranges from 90 to 125 g/kg in the case of single firing, and up to
140 g/kg in the case of ‘porcelainised’ stoneware. Moreover, since air is used as a source of
oxygen in the burners, large quantities of nitrogen are introduced to the firing kiln and NOx are
generated.
Objectives
The objective of the LIFE ZEF-tile project is to demonstrate the feasibility of applying oxy-fuel
technologies to the firing stage of ceramic tile production in order facilitate CO2 sequestration. By
using pure oxygen, instead of air, to burn hydrocarbons such as methane, the exhaust gases will
contain only CO2 and water vapour. As a result, it will no longer be necessary to heat the inert
gases contained in air and thus waste energy in continuously heating and cooling gases not
directly involved in the combustion process. Moreover, it will lead to a proportional reduction in the
volume of exhaust gas, which can then be processed easily due to its simple composition.
For this purpose, the project will set up a demonstrative roller kiln with burners modified in order to
use pure oxygen. As part of the process, water vapour will be condensed in order to leave a
stream of almost pure CO2, which will then be subjected to sequestration techniques. The project
team will assess the effect of using part of the CO2 flux to boost plants and vegetables growth in a
greenhouse, and will compress and store another part in liquid form to be used in different ways.
For example, one part will be immobilised in mineral to be further recycled as raw material in the
manufacture of other ceramic products.
Expected results:
• An innovative zero emission firing process for ceramic tiles;;
• Direct recycling of 100% of the gas processing by-products of ceramic tile production as milling
or glazing water, and as carbonates for ceramic body composition;;
• Zero particulate emissions, due to the ideal combustion conditions in the oxy-fuel burners and
to the installation of ash filters;;
• Reduced heat losses from exhaust gases due to the use of heat exchangers and the reduction
in gas volume;;
• Condensable flue gases (CO2 and H2O), making compression separation possible;;
• A 95% reduction in the production of NOx by using technically pure oxygen;;
2.3
Limitations of the Study
There are several limiting factors that should be taken into consideration when reading this study:
• . Although the Kyoto protocol was agreed in December 1997, it was only in 2004, with the
addition of the keyword ‘climate protection’, that it became possible to precisely identify climate-
relevant LIFE projects. From 2007 (LIFE+) applicants have been able to mark their proposal
as climate change relevant. February 2010 saw the creation of two new relevant Directorates-
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 10 / 11
General within the European Commission: DG Energy (ENER) and DG Climate Action
(CLIMA)2.
• Since DG CLIMA begun sharing responsibility for the management of the LIFE programme in
2014, its interests largely guided the terms and scope of this study. Since nearly all CO2
emitted by human activities stems from energy generation/consumption, it was deamed
impractical to separate climate projects from energy projects. Astrale and DG CLIMA agreed at
the outset that climate-relevant energy projects may be dealt with separately in a future study.
• The topic climate change is – via its main emission source: combustion of fossil fuels - very
closely related to energy generation and energy consumption. Accordingly, it is present in a
wide range of branches and activities – and in turn in a very high number of LIFE projects. This
fact makes it necessary to approach the topic in two steps: Firstly to identify and classify
climate change relevant projects and secondly to choose sub-topics of climate change and go
into a more detailed analysis (comparable to the previous thematic studies). The second step
can only be done after the first one.
This study therefore concentrates on the first of these two steps and has produced a database
and search tool covering the breadth of climate change LIFE projects. The discussion of
individual projects and the highlighting of their results are left for the user or for further detailed
studies in the future (e.g. on climate change mitigation in agriculture, industry or energy
supply). This approach proves to be of high value for users who need to find answers to
questions such as
•
Which LIFE projects have covered a certain climate change subtopic?
•
Has LIFE already funded projects similar to a newly-submitted proposal?
•
Which beneficiaries should contact each other due to similarities in their projects?
For the general public, Astrale has produced a LIFE Focus brochure on LIFE and Climate
change mitigation. A second publication, LIFE and Climate change adaptation, will follow in
2015.
2.4
Using this study: Searching rather than reading
There are five to 10 times more climate change projects than there were projects for the topics of
previous thematic studies. Climate change is closely interlinked with energy consumption and
material transformation/processing (e.g. CO2) as well as natural decomposition (e.g. CH4) and
chemical processes (e.g. nitrous oxide), which in turn are a considerable part of any human activity
and of any LIFE project.
The present study does not review single projects, but instead, as a first step makes climate
change projects visible and puts them in clusters. From those clusters projects may be chosen and
analysed in more detail in future studies.
How to use the study: The author suggests to read the overview first and then select the short
project lists closest to a specific search topic. Searching is made easy by two features:
• In order to find the right projects the author has developed stringent categories with as little
overlap as possible (see chapter ‘Development of categories’) and applied them to all projects.
• In order to allow for quick scanning through projects the author created a condensed project
descriptor of four to eight words for each of the 366 projects, pinpointing its objective.
These two features were found to be crucial from the outset and therefore much of the work for this
study consisted in their implementation.

EU climate policies and related legislation3
With a view to facilitating a transition towards a green, low carbon and resource efficient economy
and contributing to a more climate-resilient Europe, the DG's strategy addresses both mitigation
and adaptation needs in an integrated approach.
3.1
The 20-20-20 targets and the Europe 2020 Strategy
The European Union strongly acknowledges that tackling climate change is one of the greatest
challenges facing the world. The need for urgent action is clearly reflected in the EU’s ambitious
climate and energy package, a set of binding legislation establishing three targets for 2020 (known
as the "20-20-20 targets"):
• 20% reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels (or even 30% if other major
economies agree to undertake their fair share of a global emissions reduction effort);;
• Raising the share of EU energy consumption produced from renewable resources to 20%;;
• A 20% improvement in the EU's energy efficiency.
Climate change and energy sustainability are also included among the five headline targets of the
Europe 2020 Strategy, launched in 2010 to create the conditions for smart, sustainable and
inclusive growth. In the same year, the EU established an ad-hoc Directorate-General for Climate
Action (DG CLIMA) to help the Commission in the development and implementation of a broad and
diversified range of climate policies.
3.2
Mitigation
3.2.1
The Climate and Energy Package
The Climate and Energy Package comprises four pieces of complementary legislation, which are
intended to achieve the 20-20-20 targets:4
1. The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) Review
The EU ETS is the cornerstone of EU climate policies and the key tool for cutting industrial
greenhouse gas emissions most cost-effectively. The climate and energy package includes a
comprehensive revision and strengthening of the legislation which underpins the EU ETS, the
Emissions Trading Directive (2003/87/EC). The revision applies from 2013, the start of the third
trading period of the EU ETS. Major changes include the introduction of a single EU-wide cap on
emission allowances in place of the existing system of national caps. The cap will be cut each year
so that by 2020 emissions will be 21% below the 2005 level. The free allocation of allowances will
be progressively replaced by auctioning, starting with the power sector. The scope of sectors and
gases covered by the system will be slightly widened.

The climate and energy package does not address the energy efficiency target directly. This is being done
through the 2011 Energy Efficiency Plan and the Energy Efficiency Directive by DG ENERGY. More
information at <http://ec.europa.eu/energy/efficiency/index_en.htm>.

2. The Effort Sharing Decision: national targets for non-EU ETS emissions
Under the so-called Effort Sharing Decision, Member States have committed to binding annual
targets for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors not covered by the EU ETS,
such as housing, agriculture, waste and transport (excluding aviation and international maritime
shipping). Around 60% of the EU's total emissions come from sectors outside the EU ETS. The
national targets, covering the period 2013-2020, are differentiated according to Member States'
relative wealth (measured by GDP per capita). They range from a 20% emissions reduction
(compared to 2005) by the richest Member States to a 20% increase by the least wealthy (though
this will still require a limitation effort by all countries). Member States must report on their
emissions annually under the EU monitoring mechanism.
3. The Renewable Energy Directive: national renewable energy targets
Under the Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC), Member States have taken on binding
national targets for raising the share of renewable energy in their energy consumption by 2020.
These targets, which reflect Member States' different starting points and potential for increasing
renewables production, range from 10% in Malta to 49% in Sweden. The national targets will
enable the EU as a whole to reach its 20% renewable energy target for 2020 - more than double
the 2010 level of 9.8% - as well as a 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector. The
targets will also help to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the EU’s dependence on
imported energy.
4. The Carbon Capture and Storage Directive: geological storage of carbon dioxide
The fourth element of the climate and energy package is a directive (in preparation) creating a
legal framework for the environmentally safe use of carbon capture and storage technologies.
Carbon capture and storage involves capturing the carbon dioxide emitted by industrial processes
and storing it in underground geological formations where it does not contribute to global warming.
The directive covers all CO2 storage in geological formations in the EU and lays down
requirements which apply to the entire lifetime of storage sites.
3.2.2
Emissions and removals related to land use, land use change and forestry
(LULUCF)
Emissions and removals related to land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) are not
covered by the EU ETS Directive or the Effort Sharing Decision. In the light of a decision by
UNFCCC parties in December 2011 to revise accounting rules for GHG emissions and removals
from soils and forests, in March 2012 the European Commission made a proposal to harmonise
accounting rules for these emissions and removals across the EU as a first step towards
incorporating agriculture and forestry into the EU's emission-reduction efforts. Following the
approval of the proposal by the Council and the European Parliament, the decision entered into
force on 8 July 2013. The EU decision requires Member States to report on their actions to
increase removals and decrease emissions of GHG from activities related to forestry and
agriculture. The legislation goes further than the UNFCCC decision by phasing in mandatory
accounting for grassland management and cropland management at the level of Member States.
This will enhance the overall environmental integrity of GHG accounting in the EU by making it
more complete. Accounting for the draining and rewetting of wetlands will remain voluntary, as in
the international context. The EU decision does not set a target for emission reductions in the
LULUCF sector. The Commission will consider whether to propose GHG targets for agriculture and
forestry sectors once the accounting rules have proven their value.
3.2.3
The transport sector
The transport sector is the second biggest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. More
than two thirds of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions are from road transport. Whilst
emissions from other sectors are generally falling, those from transport have increased 36% since
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 13 / 11
1990. The EU has policies in place to reduce emissions from a range of modes of transport. These
include:
Extension of the EU ETS to emissions from aviation (until 2016, only flights to and from the EU and
the three EEA-EFTA states);;
Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from new light-duty vehicles (passenger cars and vans), which
includes binding emissions targets;;
Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from new heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) in both freight and
passenger transport, which focuses on short-term action to certify, report and monitor emissions
from truck and buses;;
CO2 labelling of cars, including a label showing a car's fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions;;
A Low Carbon Fuel Standard which requires a reduction of the greenhouse gas intensity of vehicle
fuels by up to 10% by 2020.
3.3
Adaptation
Climate change mitigation and adaptation action must be developed hand in hand. To avoid the
most serious risks of climate change, global warming must be limited to below 2ºC above pre-
industrial level. Yet, however successful mitigation is, the impacts of climate change will keep
increasing in the coming decades. Adaptation action can address many of these risks: for instance,
each euro spent on flood protection could save six euros in damage costs. Several measures
provide co-benefits, such as in energy, agriculture or forestry.
3.3.1
EU Adaptation Strategy
The Commission adopted an EU Adaptation Strategy in April 2013. It promotes adaptation action
in order to contribute to a more climate-resilient Europe.
The Strategy aims to complement the activities of Member States by supporting the promotion of
greater coordination and information-sharing, and by ensuring that adaptation considerations are
addressed in all relevant EU policies. The Strategy focuses on three key objectives:
• Promoting action by Member States: The Commission will encourage all Member States to
adopt comprehensive adaptation strategies (currently 16 have strategies) and will provide
funding to help them build up their adaptation capacities and take action. The Strategy
specifically refers to LIFE funding, which is aimed at supporting capacity building and stepping
up adaptation. The Commission also supports adaptation in cities through the Mayors Adapt
initiative, a voluntary commitment within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors5.
• 'Climate-proofing' action at EU level by further promoting adaptation in key vulnerable
sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and cohesion policy, ensuring that Europe's infrastructure
is made more resilient, and promoting the use of insurance against natural and man-made
disasters. The EU Adaptation Strategy is accompanied by documents which explore relevant
sector-specific climate induced challenges, and the measures and tools which can be activated
to adapt to these challenges.
• Better informed decision-making by addressing gaps in knowledge about adaptation and
further developing the European climate adaptation platform (Climate-ADAPT) as the 'one-stop
shop' for adaptation information in Europe.
5
The Covenant of Mayors (www.covenantofmayors.eu) is the mainstream European movement involving
local and regional authorities, voluntarily committing to increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable
energy sources on their territories.

LIFE’s position within the overall suite of EU
climate finance tools
4.1
The mainstreaming approach
The existing climate policy toolkit of the EU is complemented and further enhanced by the so-
called "mainstreaming approach". Climate policy mainstreaming has begun at the strategic level by
the agreement of the European Council to place energy and climate goals amongst the Europe
2020 strategy's five headline targets. To further advance this horizontal process, the EU agreed in
February 2013 that at least 20% of its €960 billion budget to 2020 should be spent on Climate
change-related action. The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the period 2014-2020 will
therefore provide an important contribution to a shift towards a low-carbon and climate resilient
society.
Following what is undoubtedly a very innovative feature for a public budget, Climate change
mitigation and adaptation objectives will now be integrated into all main spending areas through
the inclusion of dedicated provisions in the basic legal acts for major EU instruments and
programmes. For centrally managed instruments climate expenditure will be tracked at the level of
projects. This would be the case for example of:
• Horizon2020, which has the objective to reserve 35% of its budget for climate-relevant action
in the field of research and innovation.
• The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which finances projects in the energy, transport and
digital sectors, including €23bn to smart transport infrastructure and €5bn to energy
infrastructure (mainly transmission grids for renewable energy).
• The Global Public Goods and Challenges Programme (GPGC) under the Development and
Cooperation Instrument (DCI), which establishes that 25% of the total budget must be spent on
climate and environment objectives.
European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds)
For the shared managed instruments, specific rules have been adopted to track Member States'
climate spending through the five European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds):
• The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF);;
• The European Social Fund (ESF);;
• The Cohesion Fund (CF);;
• The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD);;and
• The European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF).
The ESI Funds are altogether coordinated via the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR), which
sets out the means to achieve consistency with the economic policies of the EU and its Member
States, coordination mechanisms among the ESI funds themselves and with other EU policies and
instruments, horizontal principles and cross-cutting objectives. Climate mainstreaming is
embedded in the Thematic Objectives (TO) of the CPR: TO 4 and 5 are dedicated to climate
change mitigation and adaptation. The targets of each Member State are set in a Partnership
Agreement and translated into actions under the ESI Funds with their proper objectives and
priorities.
In the framework of EU Regional Policy, the ERDF will for example invest at least 20% into low-
carbon economy projects in more developed regions, 15% in transition regions and 12% in least-
developed regions. Under the reformed Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) compulsory Green
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015

Direct Payments have been introduced in Pillar I, accounting for 30% of the national direct
payment envelope, which rewards farmers for respecting three obligatory agricultural practices,
namely maintenance of permanent grassland, ecological focus areas and crop diversification.
Under Pillar II, the EAFRD will finance Member States' Rural Development Programmes (RDPs)
2014-2020, which have now to comply with the legal obligation to earmark 30% of the budget of
certain measures for climate and environment objectives.
4.2
Targeted funding instruments
In addition, EU climate policies and the related legislation are promoted through a range of
targeted funding instruments, including:
4.2.1
NER300 – low-carbon technology development
Established by Article 10a(8) of the EU Emissions Trading Directive and further developed through
Commission Decision 2010/670/EU (NER300 Decision), the NER300 funding programme provides
substantial funding for the large-scale demonstration of environmentally-safe carbon capture and
storage (CCS) and innovative renewable energy (RES) within the European Union and it is one of
the world's largest programmes in this area. NER300 is so called because it is funded from the
sale of 300 million emission allowances from the New Entrants Reserve (NER) set up for the third
phase of the EU ETS. The funds from the sales are to be distributed to projects selected through
two rounds of calls for proposals, covering 200 million and 100 million allowances respectively.
NER 300 is managed by DG CLIMA in cooperation with the European Investment Bank and
Member States. It is one of the most conspicuous deliverable of the ETS in favour of innovation
and low-carbon technology.
The NER 300 first call for proposals was launched late 2010 and the Award Decision for 23 RES
projects was adopted in December 2012 (and later amended in 2014). No CCS project was
awarded at the time. At the moment, only one of the projects is already operational (an Italian
advanced biofuels project). The other projects will enter into operation between 2014 and 2016.
The second NER 300 call was launched in April 2013. A total of 32 projects were submitted, and
23 of them passed the evaluation process. The NER 300 second Award Decision, indicating which
projects will receive funding was expected to be adopted in June-July 2014.
4.2.2
LIFE - innovative climate projects
Within the overall EU budget for the period 2014-2020, the new Climate Action sub-programme of
the LIFE Programme for Environment and Climate Action will provide €864 million in co-financing
for climate projects in the following priority areas:
• Climate Change Mitigation, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions;;
• Climate Change Adaptation, focusing on increasing resilience to climate change;;
• Climate Governance and Information, focusing on increasing awareness, communication,
cooperation and dissemination on climate mitigation and adaptation actions.
As it will represent less than 0.5 % of all climate-relevant spending6, it will have to be used in a
strategic and innovative manner. According to the agreement between Member States and the
European Parliament, it is envisaged to complement the bulk of climate-relevant finance under the
other EU budget headings.
6
EU press release of 9 November 2013: The EU has agreed that at least 20% of its budget for 2014-2020 –
as much as €180 billion − should be spent on climate change-related action.

LIFE Climate Change Mitigation
With a view to contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the priority area Climate
Change Mitigation has in particular the following specific objectives:
- To contribute to the implementation and development of Union policy and legislation on climate
change mitigation, including mainstreaming across policy areas, in particular by developing, testing

LIFE Climate Change Adaptation
With a view to contributing to supporting efforts leading to increased resilience to climate change,
the priority area Climate Change Adaptation has in particular the following specific objectives:
- To contribute to the development and implementation of Union policy on climate change
adaptation, including mainstreaming across policy areas, in particular by developing, testing and
demonstrating policy or management approaches, best practices and solutions for climate change
adaptation, including, where appropriate, ecosystem-based approaches.
- To improve the knowledge base for the development, assessment, monitoring, evaluation and
implementation of effective climate change adaptation actions and measures, prioritising, where
appropriate, those applying an ecosystem-based approach, and to enhance the capacity to apply
that knowledge in practice.
- To facilitate the development and implementation of integrated approaches, such as for climate
change adaptation strategies and action plans, at local, regional or national level, prioritising,
where appropriate, ecosystem-based approaches.
- To contribute to the development and demonstration of innovative climate change adaptation
technologies, systems, methods and instruments that are suitable for being replicated, transferred
or mainstreamed.
LIFE Climate Governance and Information
The specific objectives of the priority area Climate Governance and Information are in particular:
- To promote awareness raising on climate matters, including generating public and stakeholder
support of Union policy-making in the field of the climate, and to promote knowledge on
sustainable development.
- To support communication, management, and dissemination of information in the field of the
climate and to facilitate knowledge sharing on successful climate solutions and practice, including
by developing cooperation platforms among stakeholders and training.
- To promote and contribute to more effective compliance with and enforcement of Union climate
legislation, in particular by promoting the development and dissemination of best practices and
policy approaches.
- To promote better climate governance by broadening stakeholder involvement, including NGOs,
in consultation on and implementation of policy.

Development of climate change categories
The broad scope of climate change-relevant LIFE projects made grouping necessary in order to find
projects matching certain questions (e.g. to find projects dealing with carbon sequestration or
alternative energies etc.). Such categories were not available in the LIFE online project database,
the LIFE proposals, at the EC or other official sources (as far as could be ascertained from the desk
research).
The author therefore developed several sets of categories, tested them with a number of projects
secured the agreement of DG CLIMA to proceed with them in the frame of this study.
Application of the categories to more than 360 projects revealed the need for some fine tuning. As a
result of this testing phase, the following structure was reached:

Overview of LIFE projects in graphs
6.1
Numbers of projects and years selected
As indicated above, some 650 LIFE projects selected from various sources were checked for their
climate relevance, of which 366 were deemed suitable for inclusion in this study (see spreadsheet
database).
• In general, projects approved before 2000 were excluded, except 14 projects approved between
1994 and 1999 that appeared to be relevant. However, these 14 projects are not included in the
yearly statistics/graphs in order not to bias the results. Of the 366 projects, 73 projects (or 17%)
are LIFE2004 contracts or older.
• Projects that failed during implementation were not excluded, as valuable lessons can be
learned from the reasons for failure.
• Only a few LIFE Nature projects were recognised as climate relevant. A number of projects on
bog and mire restoration were taken into account because of the role these habitats can play in
avoiding methane emissions from soil and carbon sequestration. Eight such projects were
included, because of their focus on climate change and the size of the bogs involved.
6.2
Climate change projects in the LIFE strands, years and regions
As Figure
1 shows, there has been a considerable increase in the number of climate change projects
over the years It is important to note that only 61 of these projects have ‘climate’ in their title, so the
increase is not down to labelling or keywords, but is a consequence of the content of the projects.

N.B.: LIFE01 projects do not exist as the numbering was changed between LIFE00 and LIFE02.
The figures indicate that the bulk of climate change projects have been co-funded under the LIFE
ENV strand. (see Figure
2). It is important to note that the Commission co-funds a much smaller
number of LIFE INF projects each year (and this strand only commenced in 2007). LIFE INF

replaced another small strand, TCY projects (for “third countries” outside the EU), which ended in
2006. A third small funding line PREparatory projects, has had fewer projects still. .
The main reason why few LIFE NAT projects are relevant to climate change is that projects dealing
with nature that have a focus on an innovative technology (e.g. forest management for climate
change resilience, biomass from Natura 2000 sites or eco-friendly agriculture) have mostly been
funded
through

Figure 3: Distribution of climate change projects by country for the years 2000-2012
Analysis of these data show a strong imbalance in the regional distribution of projects and funding.
For the period 2007-2012, at one end of the scale there were no projects in Ireland, Portugal and
some former TCY countries, at the other, there were 22 projects in France, 55 in Italy and 59 in
Spain (9%, 22% and 24% of the total respectively. In terms of funding, Spain is again the largest
recipient, with 52 m€ (18,2% of the total), whilst Italy has received 51 m€ (17,7%). Conversely the
UK has received 18 m€ for climate change projects and Hungary just 0,4 m€ (over six years).
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 23 / 11
This imbalance is not restricted to the climate relevant projects but concerns the whole LIFE
programme:, Italy and Spain are the Member States with the most projects in total (including 67% of
newly-selected LIFE ENV projects in 2013). The imbalance was evident during the years 2000 to
2006 already, but not to the current extreme. While the top ranking countries have seen massive
increases, the next dozen of countries has seen partly severe decreases.
In part this is a result of the fact that LIFE is a bottom-up programme and Italy and Spain submit by
far the most project applications. However, the distribution pattern strongly indicates that there may
be a potential for improvement. In order to ensure that LIFE utilises Europe’s joint environmental
innovative power in the best way, the EC should examine:
• Whether the current imbalance is desirable;;
• How Italy and Spain are able to produce so many more applications - and more successful ones
- than other Member States;;
• What the latter could learn in order to be equally successful;; and
• What the EC could do to enable more (successful) applications from regions that appear to
participate in LIFE below their potential.

EU contribution per project
The EU contribution per project is depicted in the graph below. The spike in 2006 is due to several
very large projects and at the same time a relatively small number of climate change projects in that
year. Excluding 2006, the average EU contribution of 0,64 m€ per project for the period 2000-2005
nearly doubled to 1,2 m€ for the years 2007-2012 ( (LIFE+).

Scoring of climate change projects
Since 2004, LIFE projects have been systematically scored by the LIFE Unit’s external monitoring
team (the Astrale consortium) after completion (Final Report) based upon a set of ‘best practice’
criteria, e.g. for ENV projects their contribution to immediate;; and long-term environmental,
economic and social improvements;; their degree of innovation and transferability;; their relevance to
policy;; and their cost-effectiveness.

Figure 5: Scoring of projects
As the sources used for the study did not contain these systematic scores but only general
descriptions, Figure 5 (above) only gives an estimate. However, a some 17% of the 213 projects for
which a score was available, did not perform well and another 3% were cancelled before they even
started. Cancelled projects were typically the result of co-financing issues. The failure rate of 17%
(one in six projects performing poorly) is within acceptable limits given the innovative character of
many LIFE ENV projects – innovation coming with the risk of failure. More data are needed to fully
assess the success rate of the LIFE programme with regards to climate change projects.
To increase awareness of the LIFE programme and improve the dissemination of project results,
annual awards (“Best” and “Best of the Best” LIFE Projects) are presented to those projects whose
results, if widely applied, could have the most positive impact on the environment. A long-list of
“Best” projects is based on the monitors’ scores. Representatives of the Member States then
choose the “Best of the Best” projects from this selection.

Graphs on general categories
After the administrative views on climate change projects in chapters 6.1 and 6.2, the following
chapters look more at content and stakeholder-related views.
6.3.1
Who initiates and coordinates LIFE projects?
The chart below shows the set of classifiers for “initiative/coordination” or “level of governance”.
“Company or single entity” may, for example, be a project led by a single company that implements
a prototype to solve a problem such as N2O removal in a production line.
On a broader level, a professional association or specialist research institute may coordinate a
project that benefits a whole industry or sector (e.g. the ceramic industry).
For municipalities, a typical example would be a Local Agenda 21 project or a Local Adaptation
Plan. In some cases this also involves the active participation of individual citizens or households.
Similar applies to regional planning one level up.
At a higher level again, national authorities may lead a LIFE project, e.g. preparing an ETS
implementation or extension or a National Adaptation Plan.
The level “Development cooperation” describes knowhow transfer to another country (“capacity
building”, which took place e.g. in the (now defunct) TCY strand.

Figure 6: Level of governance in climate change projects.
In general the quite even distribution across the levels appears appropriate for the LIFE programme.
The large number of projects at the “company” level can be attributed to several factors, including:
• LIFE ENV has a focus on large-scale innovative demonstration, typically to be implemented in
industrial sites.
• High and locally-concentrated emissions are typically caused by specific companies (pressure to
act).
• LIFE projects require significant project management skills.

6.3.2
Phases of the solution cycle
A LIFE project can also be characterised by the phase within the solution cycle: does the project
research the problem (e.g. how soil takes up carbon for sequestration), does it enable the regional
monitoring of CO2 emissions or is it more focused on the later stages (e.g. implementing a prototype
plant to remove N2O from a stream of exhaust air or implementing measures to restore bogs to
regain their sequestration function. Finally, if a technology proves superior, it may become
mandatory, which is the last phases in this solution cycle.

This is in line with expectations given LIFE ENV’s focus on innovative technologies and methods.
Although LIFE a research programme, a handful of projects are engaged in “research” activities
(e.g. LIFE10.ENV/FR/000208 FO3REST: Research of ozone and climate effects on leaves). The
“Networking” phase in the cycle is naturally dominated by INF projects (not visible from the graph).
N.B.: “Weight %” in the title of the graph points to the fact, that one project can be assigned to more
than one phase in the cycle. 199 have been assigned to “hardware” and 77 to “implementation of
measures”. This would equal 54% of the 366 projects in total and 21% respectively. However, as
there are more assignations than projects the percentage figures in the graphic are lower.

The sectors for adaptation are self-explanatory. Two extremes are visible: “social: migration, social
tensions, jobs” and “agriculture and forestry”. The first one, “Social: migration, social tension, jobs” is
a typical social or economic topic and therefore not primarily associated with the environmental
programme LIFE. However, if climate will change considerably there will be enormous migration
streams and consecutively social changes. Therefore, at least there should be links between DG
CLIMA and DGs concerned with social issues in order to discuss overlapping know-how, potentials
and responsibilities.

Sectors active in mitigation via LIFE
The division of the mitigation
projects by sector was the most
important and most challenging
task in the setting up of categories.
For a coarse division the “energy

emissions” were found most
suitable.

Lists of selected project clusters
The following chapters present all 366 climate change projects in mostly small clusters, each of
which covers one sub-topic of climate change. For “adaptation”, the clusters each depict a
“Resource sector impacted by climate change”, for “mitigation”, the clusters each represent a sector
of activity. In total, more than 50 clusters list the total of the projects. The short descriptor gives the
shortest possible summary of each project’s objectives.
To access the clusters for the other sets of categories (like “primary effect of climate change” or
“Level of governance”) please refer to the electronic database in the annex. In the database you
also find the summary descriptions of the projects and you also can apply individual filters.
7.1
Adaptation projects
59 LIFE projects were found to deal with adaptation. Half of them – 28 projects - cover both
adaptation and mitigation issues. Thus adaptation has only a small share in the total of 366 climate
change LIFE projects. This may change with the just started new LIFE programme period from 2014
– 2020: DG CLIMA has set a focus on adaptation.

Figure 11: Adaptation projects by country
In five countries three quarters of all adaptation projects take or took place. Additionally, one third of
the Member States do not have any adaptation projects at all and thus do not appear in the figure
above. It is hard to believe that there is only need and potential for LIFE projects in such few
countries.
Climate Change Thematic Study February 2015
Final
p. 34 / 11
The following table shows that part of the total categories, which deal with adaptation. All adaptation
projects were put into at least one of the categories concerning “primary effects” and also in at least
one of the categories concerning the “resource sector impacted by climate change”.
Categories concerning adaptation
Entries Explanatory
*)
remarks
Adaptation 1: Primary effect of climate change
All adaptation projects were put into at least one of these categories:
59 Adaptation to
which threat?
Sudden disasters: extreme weather, singular droughts, floods, pests,
temperature
32
Slow changes: water scarcity
36
Slow changes: temperature (air and water)
35
Slow changes: sea level
9
Adaptation 2: Resource sector impacted by climate change
All adaptation projects were put into at least one of these categories:
Agriculture and Forestry
59 Adaptation in
which sector?
24
Marine resources, coastal zones
7
Biodiversity (species and habitats)
10
Human health and comfort
14
Infrastructure/disaster prevention
22
Water cycle/resources management/prediction
10
Social: migration, social tension, jobs
0
Unspecific private education/response
11
*) The numbers in the sub-categories may be higher than the number in the next higher group due to multiple
entries per project.
The sub-class “Resource sector impacted by climate change” provides a clearer distinction of the
projects than the “primary effects”, which overlap more with other projects (i.e. projects that deal
with more than one of its categories, e.g. with water scarcity as well as rising temperatures).
Therefore “Resource sector” has been chosen for the presentation of the projects in this print
version of the study. The following chapters give a compact glimpse on all adaptation projects (one
line for each project) in eight short lists, one for each of the eight categories “Agriculture…”,
“Marine…”, Biodiversity…” etc.
Within of the lists contain larger groups:
•
“Agriculture” with 24 projects (41% of the adaptation projects).
•
“Infrastructure/disaster prevention” with 22 projects (37%).

Resource affected: Social: migration, social tension, jobs. No LIFE projects
available.
There are no projects for this category. This is to be expected given that life is an environmental
funding programme. The expected impact of climate change on migration streams implies that there
could be scope for projects in this category, particularly as DG CLIMA will need to coordinate with
Directorates-General responsible for social issues in order to discuss overlapping know-how,
potentials and responsibilities.

Figure 12: Mitigation projects by country
Nearly half of all mitigation projects take or took place in three countries. A reason for this uneven
distribution by regions is not obvious from the project overviews. In order to make sure that the
innovative power of all Member States is utilised for the mostly European-wide challenges of climate
change, the EC should investigate why so many Member States so little involved in LIFE. As a
similar situation was found for adaptation and LIFE ENV in general, the issue goes beyond the topic
of climate change.

The following table lists the categories dealing with mitigation. All mitigation projects were put into at
least one of these categories. In most cases they deal only with one of three groups (energy supply,
power/fuel consumption and non-CO2). In agriculture alone, several projects cover bio-gas
generation (group 1), energy savings (group 2) and decrease of methane emissions (group 3).

Within the class of mitigation projects there are four larger groups:
•
“Alternative energy supply” with 99 projects (20% of the mitigation projects)
This group was subdivided into 11 subtopics (see the lists below) during the classification
work because of the large number of projects.
•
“Industrial production” (76 projects, 16%)
For the time being this group has been subdivided into projects led by an industrial
company and those where the enterprise was a project partner. The author suggests
preparing a separate phase II study on “industry”.
•
“Transport/ mobility” (52 projects, 11%)
This group was subdivided into projects with and without involvement of urban/regional
planning (in the form of an authority leading the project).
•
“Buildings/housing” (50 projects, 10%)
Here two subgroups were found: Projects with a prototype character and those without.
All other project clusters are small enough to provide an easy and quick overview, and therefore did
not need further subdivision.

7.2.2
Energy supply: carbon capture and storage (end-of-pipe)
There are six mitigation projects on carbon capture (total budget: 19,6 m€;; funding: 7,9 m€).
However, none of these project really stores CO2 (e.g. into a geological formation). Instead they
capture the CO2 from an exhaust gas and either produce biomass (e.g. algae for fuel and
chemicals) or yield pure CO2 to sell on the market.
The algae projects are also listed under LULUCF, as – in case they would be up-scaled to capture
considerable amounts of CO2 – they would occupy large areas.
Related to carbon capture is carbon sequestration (e.g. by additional growth of biomass) or the
prevention of GHG release (e.g. by restoration of bogs, which otherwise would release methane).

Energy consumption: Industrial production
There are 76 mitigation projects on “Industrial production” (total budget: 216,5 m€;; funding: 85,1
m€).
For the “Industry” focus in the 2015 LIFE call this group could be further investigated. This may be
done once more details of the EC’s requirements are made available in early 2015. For the time
being one subdivision was obvious from looking at the database:
In 46 such projects a company took a strong lead and gave the projects a certain ’look’ with a focus
on a present and pressing problem to be solved. In the other 30 projects the companies are in the
background as partners (e.g. when a city includes them in a local action plan or a university carries
out a more research-related project). For the former group (strong lead by company) the budgets
are 162,6 m€ (funding: 56,6 m€) and for the latter the total budget is 53,8 m€ (funding: 25,5 m€).

Energy consumption: Transport/mobility (including road)
There are 52 mitigation projects on transport/mobility (total budget: 141,6 m€;; funding: 58,0 m€).
A large group that involves many transport-related projects, “urban/regional planning”, was selected
to serve the ‘urban’ focus requested by DG CLIMA: 37 projects are listed in the table below (83,4
m€, funding 36,3 m€). Ten of these projects have “mobility” in their short descriptor and four
“logistic”. For further examination of the transport projects it could be useful to distinguish between
reducing traffic, organising traffic and making vehicles more eco-friendly (fuels, infrastructure).
The other 15 projects, in which neither urban nor regional authorities are in the lead (total budget:
58,2 m€;; funding: 21,7 m€) are listed in the second table below.

7.2.10 Energy consumption: Agriculture
There are 27 mitigation projects involving agriculture (total budget: 72,5 m€;; funding: 31,7 m€).
DG CLIMA specifically requested information on climate change projects in the agriculture sector.
From analysing the relevant LIFE projects it appears that agriculture is related to climate change in
several ways:
•
As a power consumer (directly via increasingly mechanised farming and indirectly via
fertilisers).
•
As a fuel producer (biogas, liquid and solid bio fuel/ biomass).
•
As an emitter of highly potent GHGs like methane (mainly cattle and dairy), ammonia and
nitreous oxide (fertiliser) and occasionally of methane due to de-watering of bogs and
wetlands.
•
As a carbon sink (captured carbon for green house horticulture, soil build-up measures,
afforestation, restoration of bogs to restart sequestration).
It does not appear feasible to subdivide this group of 27 projects as there are many overlaps which
would be lost with sub-grouping. Therefore all 27 are listed below.
Taking into account these diverse links to climate change and the large overall contribution to
emissions as well as sinks the number of projects is lower than expected. Reasons for this may
include the following:
•
The agri-sector is a user of technology and methods rather than a developer (LIFE ENV
only funds innovative solutions);;
•
There are other funding schemes especially for the agri-sector which are many times larger
than LIFE and which may fund necessary R&D work;; and
•
Mitigation measures often are not “revolutionary” but just require a certain market price to
encourage farmers to change their crops and procedures.
If the costs of energy, fertiliser and water rise and the rewards for eco-friendly farming make it
financially viable, there is hope that agriculture will change. These points should be taken into
account for the LIFE call 2014, which states as one of the focus topics
“Agriculture: implementation of low carbon farming practices with a transformational impact and
analysis and development of improvements for existing climate measures under CAP [Common
Agricultural Policy]”.

7.2.11 Energy consumption: LULUCF - Land use, land use change and forestry
There are 27 mitigation projects on LULUCF (total budget: 74,0 m€;; funding: 37,4 m€). (The co-
funding rate of above 50% is a result of the higher funding rate (75%) of certain NAT projects).
The 27 project can be clearly divided into three sub-groups:
• Restoration of bogs and mires to avoid methane emissions and restart carbon sequestration:
Seven NAT projects and one ENV project (quantifying the ecosystem service). As little financial
data were available by the end of the study, they are not summarised here.
• Forest projects for sequestration and carbon certificates:
Four projects (total budget: 7,0 m€;; funding: 3,4 m€).
• Algae projects for carbon capture and biomass:
Three projects (total budget: 14,4 m€;; funding: 6,0 m€).
• Other biomass production/energy crops (mainly for fuel):
Six projects (total budget: 11,9 m€;; funding: 5,9 m€).
• Other LULUCF projects, such asevaluation of effects and optimisation, carbon rich soils etc:
Five projects (total budget: 19,5 m€ funding: 9,5 m€).

7.2.12 Energy consumption: non-specific private/bottom-up change of habits
There are 26 mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 36,2 m€;; funding: 17,2 m€), of which 10
are INF projects – which is in line with expectations, since INF projects usually target the general
public.
The 26 projects can be divided into three small but distinct sub-groups:
• Change of private behaviour as a direct aim:
Thirteeen projects, 10 of them INF projects (total budget: 18,9 m€;; funding: 8,6 m€).

7.2.13 Non-CO2 emissions
There are 61 mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 141,6 m€;; funding: 63,0 m€).
This large group of projects could be subdivided into seven smaller groups with little overlap. The
charts below show the distribution of projects, budget and strands.
For each of the seven sub-groups a small list of four to 15 projects follows on the next pages.

The distribution is without extremes. The NAT dominance in “CH4 from bogs” and the concentration
of PRE (preparatory) projects in the category “other/ general” are in line with expectations..

There are eight mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 21,2 m€;; funding: 12,5 m€).
There are many more bogs and mires projects in LIFE NAT. The ones below were included as they
cover larger areas or many smaller ones.
One notable inclusion in this list is a recently-started ENV project that will try to quantify the
ecosystem service of peatlands, i.e. put values on ecological and economic effects.

7.2.13.4 Non-CO2 emissions: Industrial processes
There are eight mitigation projects on this topic (total budget: 6,5 m€;; funding: 2,2 m€).
They either deal with end-of-pipe technologies to remove/recycle emissions (e.g. nitrous oxide) from
an industrial plant or with integrated technologies using alternative cooling agents or construction
material which a lower carbon footprint. The latter climate effect may appear indirect, but its effect
often is underestimated due to the size of the material streams involved (e.g. building material and
construction waste, which was the subject of the RENEW BUILDING project).

7.2.14 INF (Information and Communication) projects on mitigation
There are 13 INF projects on mitigation (total budget: 177 m€;; funding: 88 m€).
Ten of these projects have already been listed under “non-specific private/bottom-up change of
habits” in the mitigation chapter, and thus are simply copied here (total budget: 11,2 m€;; funding:
5,6 m€).
Of the other three projects, two are on air conditioning systems and one is about landscape-scale
conservation initiatives (total budget: 6,5 m€;; funding:3,2 m€).
Half of the INF mitigation projects also deal with adaptation (and thus appear in both lists).

Crosscutting topics and projects
In this chapter two groups of projects are highlighted that do not fit into the sector-specific clusters
identified in the previous chapters on adaptation and mitigation. The two following groups show the
additional capabilities of the database created for this study.
The first one is “GHG monitoring”, one of the focus topics of the LIFE 2014 call. GHG monitoring
corresponds to “measuring/monitoring” – which is a category in the set phase of the solution cycle.
The second group includes “crosscutting” projects, i.e. those assigned to more than one sub-topic of
climate change.
7.3.1
Crosscutting topic: greenhouse gas monitoring
The sets of categories do not contain a special item “GHG monitoring”. However,
“measuring/monitoring” is a separate category and includes those projects with a considerable focus
on GHG monitoring.
There are 17 projects (two PREP and 15 ENV) that feature aspects of GHG monitoring (this
includesmonitoring by measured emissions as well as by calculated emissions).

Crosscutting projects with a broad scope
This group of projects was selected by looking at how many categories were assigned to them in the
database by the author. Therefore, these projects are “crosscutting” in the sense that they combine
sub-topics which other projects work on separately. Therefore the projects in this group should be
equipped with or have yielded overarching knowhow. From the project title alone this overarching
aspect is not really visible. Thus, parts of the texts for objective and results have been added from
the LIFE project database.

EC4MACS successfully joint forces of several sectoral simulation systems via harmonisation of data
acquisition, formats and inter-links between the simulation systems. Thus it is now possible to calculate
scenarios with unprecedented reliability in a short period of time.
The project has remarkably enhanced not only the quantitative base for the development of policies in the
fields of air pollution and climate, but also the way in which options, scenarios, measures and costs/benefits
are being negotiated.
As the data are provided by the national experts and the data base as well as the methods for calculation are
absolutely transparent and widely discussed and agreed, it is hard for the involved experts and politicians to
disagree with the results. This has its impact on the selection and implementation of more (cost) efficient
measures in the above fields.
During the European-wide review of all air legislation and measures the EU has used EC4MACS for the impact
assessment of different scenarios. The impact assessment already was evaluated as the best assessment for
long time. As a result the "ambition level" (the amount of technical possible measures which will become
obligatory) was raised from meagre 25% (recent decades) to now 75%, as EC4MACS could prove, that this
level of measures would be cost effective, i.e. would have higher benefits for the population than costs. This
rise equals about 3 billion Euro per year additional expenditures into air quality improvement.

The VACCIA project studied the vulnerability of ecosystem services to Climate Change and the possibilities for
different sectors of society to adapt to these changes. These studies allowed probability-based vulnerability
assessments to be made. In particular, the project assessed how anticipated Climate Change would change
the production of selected main ecosystem services/sectors (biodiversity, forest and agricultural production,
carbon sequestration, water resources and quality, fishery production, tourism), and identified critical change
thresholds.
The derivation of these Climate Change scenarios and vulnerability assessments (database) was the main
result of the project. The use of satellite data based GMES-services for making these assessments and
adaptation studies (maps, databases) was another key result.

The LIFE MONIMET project aims to fill knowledge gaps regarding carbon and water balances and their
relationship to Climate Change in boreal zones including regions' vulnerability. It implements an innovative
approach of in-situ monitoring and mapping of Climate Change indicators by combing different information
sources describing phenology, CO2 and CH4 exchange, land cover, snow evolution and albedo. The
information sources include in-situ observations and Earth Observation (EO) (satellite) data, as well as
ancillary data supporting vulnerability assessments. Dedicated high-resolution regional models will be applied
to describe climate and land surface fluxes of carbon and water by different ecosystems.
Actions carried out to achieve these objectives shall involve:
•
Collecting information, data and expertise that is currently spread over several institutes, in order to build a
comprehensive platform for analysing Climate Change effects on seasonal dynamics of various
phenomena;;
Establishing links and adding value to existing monitoring mechanisms such as ICOS and EO systems
(GMES) and making use of data acquired in previous LIFE-funded - and other - projects related to
ecosystem monitoring;;
•
Creating a new webcam monitoring system to facilitate EO systems by providing time-series of field
observations for calibration and validation, and to improve the assessment of forest ecosystem services;;
•
Synthesising modelling and observation approaches to identify climate indicators;; and
•
Linking the Climate Change indicators and their effects in order to create vulnerability maps of boreal
zones in connection to Climate Change scenarios.

The main goal of the BLUE AP project is to provide Bologna with a Local Adaptation Plan, to make the town
more resilient in the face of Climate Change. The project will
•
Learn from and disseminate the best EU experiences in adaptation planning at the town level, and adjust
them to fit the specific Italian situation;;
•
Consolidate a governance and planning model usable in the large number of Italian cities already
committed (more than 1000 Covenant of Mayors signatories), but not experienced in strategic planning for
climate adaptation;;
•
Establish an information system that is comprehensive and innovative (integrating environmental with
social data) and that will produce new information about Climate Change risks and vulnerability in
Bologna;;
•
Offer “start up” support to local stakeholders, with the aim of designing and launching some of the
measures and actions defined by the Local Adaptation Plan.
Expected results:
•
A protocol involving stakeholders’ in climate adaptation, based on 100 “Stakeholder Challenges” and 100
“Financing Challenges” surveys. An analysis report summarising stakeholders’ needs and opportunities;;
•
A baseline report addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the Bologna municipality in the face of the
need to adapt to Climate Change;;
•
Preparation of the Bologna Local Urban Environment Adaptation Plan (BLUE AP);;
•
The political commitment by the local government to adopt and start the implementation of the BLUE AP;;
•
The design and start up of at least six pilot actions, as part of the initial implementation of BLUE AP.

The project aims to apply and evaluate methods of municipal management of Climate Change, assessing their
cost-effectiveness in meeting the goals for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG). This will include both
adaptation and mitigation measures.
An action plan to combat Climate Change will be adopted and new regulations for protecting the atmosphere,
municipal planning of green spaces, parks and public gardens will be endorsed. A set of incentives and
methods to encourage the involvement of businesses and commercial sectors in combating Climate Change
will also be developed.
The project will calculate initial emissions at the beginning of the project in order to help assess the results
achieved at the end. In this way the project hopes to provide a model for other municipalities of similar size
and/or socio-economic characteristics (i.e., a growing suburb). In parallel, a strong awareness-raising
campaign about Climate Change will target the general public, schools and main business sectors.

The ‘Julia 2030’ project was set up to implement and demonstrate new (and further develop exiting) methods,
procedures and tools, as part of a climate strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Helsinki
metropolitan area. The project actions would concentrate on public procurement, use of public premises,
transport and waste management.
Results:
The ‘Julia 2030’ project developed and demonstrated opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions. It carried out
extensive campaigns to promote awareness of CO2 emissions and ways to reduce them by making informed
choices.
•
"Eco-supporters": The project promoted environmental responsibility in a wide range of workplaces
through the creation of ‘eco-supporters’. Eco-support activities begin by appointing and training one or
more eco-supporters. The state of environmental affairs at the workplace is then reviewed to determine
any improvements that could be made. Finally, the eco supporters guide and inspire their colleagues in
implementing new ecological practices.
The target was greatly exceeded, with a total of 640 new eco-supporters trained.
•
"CO2 calculators" for several sectors were developed and tested, including public premises (calculator for
monitoring the greenhouse gas emissions of 32 selected pilot premises like schools, day care centres,
libraries, public swimming pools, community centres etc.). Between 2009 and 2011 GHG emissions
(including those relating to work-related travelling by staff, paper and waste) of the pilot sites fell by 8%.
•
"Green public procurement": For this area general guidelines compiled, which include a comprehensive
study of public procurement regulations and practical instructions on how to arrange competitive tendering
for various purchases of goods and services. For five product groups the project developed a specific
JUHILAS tool for calculating the carbon footprint. In the tendering process its footprint results are used as
an evaluation criterion.
•
The project specified lifecycle-based GHG emission factors for 15 types of waste, which were incorporated
into the Petra waste benchmarking service used by businesses and public administration, as well as into
the waste flows monitoring system of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. A new Konsta waste calculator was
developed for use by households, enabling them to assess their own waste volumes and the resulting
GHG emissions. A new model called Emmi was developed for forecasting municipal waste volumes.
•
Transport sector: The project provided a very user-friendly CO2 calculators to help residents choose the
best modes of personal mobility from the point of view of Climate Change mitigation. A chocolate
calculator (indicating the energy consumed when walking) was incorporated into the walking and cycling
section of the Journey Planner. The Jälki carbon calculator for weekday transport paints a broader picture
of climate emissions, and also provides tips on more climate friendly ways of getting around.
•
Within the ‘Julia 2030’ project, a regional Climate Change adaptation strategy was developed. This
strategy aims at preparing the region for the consequences of and to reduce the region’s vulnerability to
Climate Change. Translating efforts to reduce CO2 emissions into clear policy initiatives will require a long
time. Nevertheless, cost savings can be achieved in the running of public buildings, the procurement of
goods, the selection of transport modes and the handling of waste.

The main objective of the CHANGING THE CHANGE project was to provide Climate Change information to the
Galician agro-forestry sector and the general public. The project also aimed to bring about a shift of attitude in
farmers towards sustainable management alternatives (renewable energies and bio fuels, recycling, energy
efficiency measures, organic farming, climate adapted crops etc.)
The project foresaw the organisation of 41 workshops to key stakeholders, the attendance at relevant fairs, the
design of awareness raising materials and articles in the press, the establishment and monitoring of a series of
indicators at 2000 farms and a personalised advisory office in each of the 37 Galician counties.
Results:
The CHANGING THE CHANGE project completed all planned activities with great success.
The workshops with around 1300 farmers were useful and generated considerable interest and the chance to
increase self esteem (especially among the 500 children involved). More than 130 000 people attended two big
fairs in Galicia.
Technicians at the 37 agrarian offices in Galicia acted as environmental advisors (new legislation, possible
environment-linked subsidies, implementation of good practices for mitigation and adaptation to Climate
Change) for nearly 7000 requests for information.
2000 people took part in three surveys carried out every six months to monitor the impact and the progress of
the adoption of good practices:
•
Increase in the use of bio fuels;;
•
Increase in the surface of solar panels installed;;
•
Decrease in the consumption of water;;
•
Increase of agricultural surface dedicated to agrofuels crops;;
•
Decrease in the use of nitrogen fertilisers/Increase in the use of organic fertilisers;;
•
Increase of carbon content of soils;;
• Increase of forest plantations.
Communication activities included the production of ‘Eco-guides’, brochures, posters, stickers, conference
materials and educational materials for schools. The project received wide coverage in regional and local
media.
Climate Change issues are now sustainably embedded in the day-to-day activity of technicians.

The SOLMACC LIFE project aims to demonstrate a set of innovative, climate-friendly (mitigation and
adaptation) farm practices under experimental conditions.
The project will demonstrate a set of four, innovative, climate-friendly farming practices:
1. Optimised on-farm nutrient recycling;;
2. Optimised crop rotation with legume-grass leys;;
3. Optimised tillage system;; and
4. Agroforestry.
These will be implemented on 12 organic farms in Sweden, Germany and Italy.
The project expects to show a reduction of around 15% in the carbon footprint of plant products and greater
resilience to the consequences of Climate Change on the pilot farms. It also expects to show coherence with
other sustainability objectives of the EU, such as the control of soil erosion, biodiversity conservation and
enhancement, and the efficient management of natural resources, such as water.
The project is still running. Expected results:
•
The successful implementation of an innovative set of climate-friendly farm practices on twelve organic
farms in Sweden, Germany and Italy;;
•
A 15% reduction in GHG emissions from agricultural activities;;
•
An improved capacity to adapt to the negative effects of Climate Change;;
•
A richer debate on EU policy around Climate Change and agriculture.

The main objective is to encourage the development and implementation of landscape-scale conservation
initiatives, involving many partners, in 34 priority areas across the UK.
These areas, known as ‘Futurescapes’, cover a total area of 2.18 million ha and include populations of 3.83
million people. The 34 areas have been chosen to give good geographical coverage and to reflect both their
need and potential.
Additional objectives are to carry out high-level advocacy work to promote the landscape-scale approach and
to disseminate information about the project to relevant stakeholders throughout the EU. The key messages
will be that landscape-scale conservation is important and that it can bring major benefits to local communities
as well as to wildlife. The main actions will involve the employment of a team of regional officers to lead the
communication work targeting potential partners and funders. Their work will help lead to the identification and
delivery of conservation projects by the partnerships. They will be supported by public engagement staff to
focus on communicating with the general public and schools.
The project is still running. Expected results:
•
Establishment of active partnerships in each of the project areas. This may involve contact with 10-40
organisations within each area and agreement on 3-5 practical tasks per area, covering about 10% of the
total area (c. 200 000 ha);; and
•
Engagement with up to 10 000 members of the public in each Futurescape. This will be supported by a
communications strategy.

Conclusions and recommendations
The main aim of this thematic LIFE study is to provide useful information about the solutions the
LIFE programme contributes to the mitigation of and adaptation to Climate Change. This information
is relevant not only to DG ENV, but also to DG CLIMA and EASME (both newly involved in the
management of LIFE since 2014), to the EC’s Thematic Units, to LIFE National Contact Points and
to climate change projects. The study should also strengthen the link between the Units in charge of
the management of operational projects and Thematic Units dealing mainly with environmental
policy.
Two-step approach
Already from the creation of a separate DG on Climate Action one can assume that climate change
is a broad topic. This is so because the main emission source of GHG – namely the combustion of
fossil fuels – is very closely related to energy generation and energy consumption. Accordingly, it is
present in an extremely wide range of sectors and activities – and in turn in a mass of LIFE projects.
This fact makes it necessary to approach the topic in two steps or phases:
• Firstly to identify climate change-relevant projects, classify them and provide an easy way of
filtering the 366 total projects in line with individual requirements;; and
• Secondly to choose sub-topics of climate change and carry out a more detailed analysis (i.e.
comparable to previous thematic studies).
The second step – or phase II – can only be done after the first one.
This study therefore concentrates on the first of these two steps and has produced a database and
search tool covering the breadth of climate change LIFE projects. The discussion of individual
projects and the highlighting of their results are left for the user or for further detailed studies in the
future (e.g. on climate change mitigation in agriculture, industry or energy supply). This approach
proves to be of high value for users who need to find answers to questions such as
•
Which LIFE projects have covered a certain climate change subtopic?
•
Has LIFE already funded projects similar to a newly-submitted proposal?
•
Which beneficiaries should contact each other due to similarities in their projects?
For the general public, Astrale has produced a LIFE Focus brochure on LIFE and Climate change
mitigation. A second publication, LIFE and Climate change adaptation, will follow in 2015.
Successful completion and test of step 1: the classification and the database
It was only possible to test if the work done to define the classifiers and to attribute each of the 366
projects to one or more of those classifiers would pay off towards the end of the study. Tests
indicate that the classifications work as intended: as the clusters generated accurately show the
contribution of LIFE to the particular sub-topics. The study (and the annexed database) gives the
reader an easy and yet precise means of accessing projects of individual interest. As no such
structure for the broad topic of climate change had been identified at the beginning of this process,
the newly-developed classifications may be an additional benefit of this study.
The text/print version displays all 366 projects in more than 50 clusters. This leaves an average of
six to 10 LIFE projects per cluster, i.e. a specific sub-topic. A few larger mitigation clusters with
higher numbers of projects remain: “industrial processes”, “transport/mobility“ and
“housing/construction”. The further subdivision of these clusters can be done individually in the
attached spreadsheet database using the filter functions provided (year, country, prototype etc.).

Impressive scope of the LIFE programme
The fact that there are 366 projects with considerable links to climate change demonstrates that
climate change is a major topic in the LIFE programme. The EU has contributed some 350 m€ to
these projects, helping to mobilise a total budget of some 900 m€. (Exact figures are not available
as the budgets for some failed projects can only be estimated and for the projects still running only
proposed budgets exist.)
For this study, several sets of classifications were used on the projects concerned. It turned out that
for any one of the more than 50 categories a group of several projects exists dealing explicitly with
this category (with “social tensions” being the one only missing - more details below). Therefore, a
second conclusion is that LIFE is operating across the full scope of climate change categories.
Imbalance towards mitigation
In general adaptation (with a total of 59 projects) lags behind mitigation (335 projects) within LIFE.
Confronted with the immediate threat of global warming a private household would probably put all
its efforts in getting prepared for the change. However, the changes are beyond the planning
horizon of most families. Why then is mitigation the dominant topic, when effects of mitigation not
only are as distant as global warming but on top of that are beyond the control of individual efforts
(private as well as national), because private inputs have to be shared globally? The author sees
two reasons for this puzzle:
•
Most of the mitigation measures come with a short-term financial bonus (saving energy
costs or getting refunds for alternative energy production), whilst in adaptation there is no
short-term refund.
•
There is a very high level of consensus and fear concerning the direction of climate change
(warmer) and the major cause (CO2). Only with such unison and settled conviction it is
possible to push forward a task as large as halting global warming, without a public uproar
considering the large expenditures and increasingly tighter regulations.
The author notes that debate of these fundamentals is not taking place, which appears unusual for a
pluralistic society. However, when taking global warming for granted, it still appears quite optimistic
to focus so much on mitigation: It implies a) that humankind has the potential to keep warming
below 2 °C, b) that all nations with considerable CO2 emissions will join in and c) that they will do so
in time. DG CLIMA has announced it plans to put more emphasis on adaptation in LIFE 2014-2020.
It appears to be a good idea to do so. However, most of the mitigation projects not only cut down
emissions but also save energy – and often are profitable (especially in the industry concerned). For
pure adaptation projects such a direct incentive rarely exists or is harder to calculate and
communicate. This may be challenging. Bottom line: It may be high time to increase awareness and
action on the adaptation side.
The topic “Social: migration, social tension, jobs” caused by climate change has not been addressed
by any LIFE climate change projects. For most people, the environmental consequences of climate
change (water scarcity, extreme weather etc) will pale into insignificance compared to the socio-
economic impacts: income loss, rising costs, migration, tension – and the potential for social unrest.
It is difficult to draw a line where “environment” ends and “the social” starts. Therefore the EC bodies
managing the LIFE programme should consider ways in which LIFE projects may address social
topics and, at the very least, create links to those DGs concerned with social issues in order to
discuss overlapping know-how, potentials and responsibilities.

Should the LIFE programme set specific funding goals for topics that have been omitted so
far?
Derived from the experience of many years of monitoring LIFE projects and from compiling several
synthesis reports on LIFE ex-post monitoring 8, the author would like to share the following points:
•
There are many more problems to be solved than funding by LIFE could cover.
•
A high benefit for the environment can only be yielded from well-run projects with
sustainable results. There is no point in pushing projects on a very specific topic in
exchange for a lower chance of sustainable benefits.
•
Ex-post evaluations have identified the key criteria for successful and sustainable ENV
projects: motivated beneficiaries and highly-effective project execution.
•
With the new LIFE programme for the period 2014-2020 a new group of “Integrated
Projects” will be able to sustain concentration on a specific topic for a longer period.
Bottom line: The focus topics for the LIFE calls should be broad enough to obtain a sufficient
number of high quality proposals. Concerning the topic “Social: migration, social tension, jobs”
mentioned above as an example: LIFE would not be able to “create” worthwhile project proposals
just by putting an emphasis on that issue. Therefore, it is suggested that in discussions with other
DGs and national governments a feasible way of sharing the responsibility has to be found. This will
ensure that if there are no LIFE projects on social tension, programmes managed by other DGs
could develop suitable solutions.
An imbalance in the distribution of projects
As depicted in the charts in chapter 6.2, there is a very uneven regional distribution of LIFE projects
and funding. Three quarters of the 59 adaptation projects take place in five countries. One-third of
Member States have not had any adaptation projects at all. Between 2000 and 2012 the top two
countries Spain and Italy accounted for 40% of all mitigation and adaptation projects, and this trend
is increasing: Italy and Spain had 45% of the projects funded between 2007 and 2012 and 68% of
all LIFE ENV projects (not just climate change) funded in the 2013 LIFE ENV call.
It should be pointed out that LIFE is a bottom up programme and Italy and Spain also submit by far
the most project applications. However, the distribution pattern indicates that there may be a
potential for optimisation. In order to make sure that LIFE gets the most out of Europe’s joint
environmental innovative power the EC should examine this issue.
Other imbalances
The fact that 90% of LIFE climate change projects have been financed under the ENV strand is not
considered problematic. Rather it is an expected consequence of how objectives are distributed
between the strands (see chapter 6.2 “Climate change projects in the LIFE strands, years and
regions”).
Projects also appear to be adequately distributed across levels of governance (local, regional etc).
Concerning the distribution within the “solution cycle” the author also does not see an issue of
concern. The EC may prefer a higher share of “Regulation/Standardisation” projects. However, it
should be noted that LIFE ENV has a considerable focus on innovative and demonstrative projects,
which usually are ahead of standardisation and regulation. Also, the majority of projects are focused
on solving individual challenges. Contributing to a regulation is thus a secondary issue, unless the
regulation itself puts pressure on the beneficiaries.

LIFE call 2014: Focus topic “Agriculture”
The LIFE call 2014 lists as one of the focus topics:
“Agriculture: implementation of low carbon farming practices with a transformational impact and
analysis and development of improvements for existing climate measures under CAP”. The
following findings should be taken into account for the agriculture projects:
From analysing the relevant LIFE projects it appears that agriculture is related to climate change in
several ways:
•
As a power consumer (directly via increasingly mechanised farming and indirectly via
fertilisers).
•
As a fuel producer (biogas, liquid and solid bio fuel/ biomass).
•
As an emitter of highly potent GHGs like methane (mainly cattle and dairy), ammonia and
nitreous oxide (fertiliser) and occasionally of methane due to de-watering of bogs and
wetlands.
•
As a carbon sink (captured carbon for green house horticulture, soil build-up measures,
afforestation, restoration of bogs to restart sequestration).
Taking into account these diverse links to climate change and the large overall contribution to
emissions as well as sinks the number of projects is lower than expected. Reasons for this may
include the following:
•
The agri-sector is a user of technology and methods rather than a developer (LIFE ENV
only funds innovative solutions);;
•
There are other funding schemes especially for the agri-sector which are many times larger
than LIFE and which may fund necessary R&D work;; and
•
Mitigation measures often are not “revolutionary” but just require a certain market price to
encourage farmers to change their crops and procedures.
If the costs of energy, fertiliser and water rise and the rewards for eco-friendly farming will be
competitive, there is hope that the agriculture will change and bring in a considerable contribution to
the fields mentioned above where agriculture is linked with climate change.
Suggested steps for further in-depth analyses
Many of the more than 50 clusters, which evolved from this study, do not need further elaboration.
They comprise only a handful or a dozen projects and those readers who need to find out what LIFE
has done so far on that specific topic, can get further details with little effort.
In order to facilitate detailed analysis of larger groups of projects (e.g. ones about “industrial
processes” or “agriculture”), thematic experts within (and outside) the EC will need to formulate
specific objectives and requirements and collaborate with the external monitoring team according to
a set timeline.
One potential area for a detailed analysis could be the “Diverse roles of agriculture within climate
change”. Agriculture is a focus topic for the 2014 LIFE call and will continue to be of importance in
the years to come.
With 76 climate change mitigation projects focusing on industrial processes, “industry” could also be
a suitable topic for an in-depth thematic study.
A chance for networking
This document and the annexed project database are not only of help for experts in the EC but are
also a chance for those involved in climate change projects to find out who else is working on similar
topics, and to get in contact with other projects. Therefore, the distribution of this study to as many
as possible climate change projects is a chance for networking, which in turn would be positive for
LIFE and for the environment.
