Strategic Integrated Projects - Climate Action

The LIFE-2022-STRAT-CLIMA-SIP program targets legal entities from EU Member States and associated countries, supporting their efforts to implement comprehensive climate action strategies. The program aims to foster climate neutrality and resilience across various sectors by backing strategic plans for energy and climate action.

This program funds projects focused on the implementation of large-scale climate action strategies and plans. It supports initiatives that catalyze a process, mobilize supplementary commitments and funding, and build strategic capacities within the targeted areas. While covering a range of climate-related sectors, certain cost categories and funding sources are subject to specific rules.

The Strategic Integrated Projects - Climate Action program provides financial support primarily through grants, covering a significant portion of eligible project costs over a substantial duration, typically several years.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to specific legal, administrative, and financial conditions outlined in the call documents. These include detailed rules on admissibility, eligibility, consortium formation, budget management, and compliance with overarching EU regulations.

The application process for Strategic Integrated Projects - Climate Action follows a two-stage submission and evaluation procedure, designed to thoroughly assess proposals based on their relevance, impact, quality, and resource allocation.

The Strategic Integrated Projects - Climate Action program operates under a robust legal framework, deriving its authority from specific EU regulations and detailed work programmes that ensure its effective and accountable implementation.
