The projects cover actions in the fields of nature conservation, climate change, environmental policy and information and communication on environmental issues across all Member States.
|
I progetti consistono in interventi sul fronte della conservazione della natura, dei cambiamenti climatici, delle politiche ambientali, nonché dell’informazione e della comunicazione in materia di tematiche ambientali in tutti gli Stati membri.

Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik said: “The LIFE+ programme continues to provide vital funding for innovative projects.
|
Janez Potočnik, Commissario per l’Ambiente, ha dichiarato:”Il programma LIFE+ continua ad essere una fonte vitale di finanziamento di progetti innovativi.
|
6 |
These new projects will make a big contribution to protecting, conserving and enhancing Europe’s natural capital. They will support the goal of turning the EU into a resource efficient, greener and more competitive low-carbon economy.”
|
Questi nuovi progetti incideranno in misura tutt’altro che trascurabile sul capitale naturale dell’Europa contribuendo a proteggerlo, conservarlo e rafforzarlo, e concorreranno a fare dell’UE un’economia più efficiente dal punto di vista delle risorse, più verde, competitiva e a basse emissioni di carbonio.”

Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard said:
|
Connie Hedegaard, Commissaria per l’Azione per il clima, si è così espressa:
|
8 |
"I am happy to see confirmed this year that an ever rising share of LIFE projects is going to contribute to climate action.
|
“Mi rallegra vedere anche quest’anno che una parte sempre più cospicua di progetti LIFE è dedicata a interventi nel campo climatico.
|
9 |
And we want to improve this even more:
|
Ma non intendiamo fermarci qui:
|
10 |
The new LIFE programme from 2014 to 2020 will foresee over 850 million Euros dedicated to climate action.This will roughly triple the amount which is spent on climate action."
|
il nuovo programma LIFE (2014-2020) riserverà all’azione per il clima stanziamenti di oltre 850 milioni di euro, cifra che costituisce pressoché il triplo della somma spesa attualmente.

The Commission received 1 159 applications in response to its latest call for proposals, which closed in September 2012.
|
La Commissione ha ricevuto 1 159 domande di finanziamento in risposta all’ultimo invito a presentare proposte, scaduto nel settembre 2012.
|

LIFE+ Nature & Biodiversity projects improve the conservation status of endangered species and habitats.
|
I progetti LIFE + Natura e biodiversità migliorano lo stato di conservazione delle specie e degli habitat in pericolo.
|
13 |
Of the 258 proposals received, the Commission selected 92 projects for funding from partnerships of conservation bodies, government authorities and other parties. Led by project beneficiaries in 24 Member States, they represent a total investment of EUR 247.4 million, of which the EU will provide some EUR 139.3 million.

|
La maggior parte di essi (82) rientra nella categoria “Natura” e concorre ad attuare le direttive Uccelli e/o Habitat e la rete Natura 2000.
|
15 |
The other 10 are pilot schemes that tackle wider biodiversity issues (the LIFE+ "biodiversity projects").
|
Gli altri 10 sono progetti pilota che vertono su aspetti più ampi legati alla biodiversità (categoria di progetti LIFE+ “Biodiversità”).
|
16 |
LIFE+ Environment Policy & Governance projects are pilot projects that contribute to the development of innovative policy ideas, technologies, methods and instruments.
|
I progetti LIFE+ Politica e governance ambientali sono progetti pilota che contribuiscono a migliorare le politiche apportando idee, tecnologie, metodi e strumenti innovativi.
|
17 |
Of the 743 proposals received, the Commission selected 146 projects for funding from a wide range of public and private sector organisations.The successful projects, led by project beneficiaries in 18 Member States, represent a total investment of EUR 298.5 million, of which the EU will provide some EUR 136.8 million.
|
A beneficiare del finanziamento della Commissione saranno 146 progetti che, selezionati tra i 743 inizialmente proposti, sono stati presentati da svariate organizzazioni pubbliche e private di 18 Stati membri e rappresentano un investimento totale di 298,5 milioni di EUR.

|
19 |
In addition, many other projects focusing on other issues will also have an indirect impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
|
Molti altri progetti, sebbene imperniati su tematiche diverse, avranno comunque un impatto indiretto sulle emissioni di gas serra.
|
20 |
Other important areas of focus include water, waste and natural resources, chemicals, the urban environment, soil and air quality.
|
Tra gli altri settori importanti coperti dai finanziamenti figurano l’acqua, i rifiuti, le risorse naturali, le sostanze chimiche, l’ambiente urbano, il suolo e la qualità dell’aria.
|

Of the 158 proposals received, the Commission selected 10 projects from a range of public and private sector nature and/or environment organisations.
|
Delle 158 proposte ricevute, la Commissione ne ha scelte 10, presentate da varie organizzazioni pubbliche e private operanti sul fronte della natura e/o dell’ambiente.

Four of the 10 projects are concerned with raising awareness about nature and biodiversity matters, whereas six are focused on other environmental matters such as climate change, resource efficiency and coastal pollution prevention.
|
Quattro dei 10 progetti consistono in azioni di sensibilizzazione su questioni inerenti la natura e la biodiversità, mentre gli altri sei vertono su tematiche ambientali quali i cambiamenti climatici, l’efficienza delle risorse e la prevenzione dell’inquinamento nelle zone costiere.
