LIFE and local authorities

Local and regional authorities (LRAs) have an indispensable role to play in implementing EU environmental legislation and making eco-innovations and environmental best practices better known to a wider audience. Europe's LRAs have been key participants in the LIFE programme, leading more than 350 LIFE Environment projects and partnering with NGOs and private sector beneficiaries in hundreds more. The new LIFE Focus publication, 'LIFE and local authorities: Helping regions and municipalities tackle environmental challenges', highlights many of the most successful of these projects, initiatives that have been at the forefront of implementing environmental innovations that provide solutions to some of the greatest demands facing LRAs today.
As well as an introduction to the policy challenges facing local and regional authorities and how the LIFE programme can help them, the publication, which has been produced in co-operation with the Council for European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), features extensive case studies and examples of best practice across a number of sectors: from sustainable transport to waste and water management, the threat of climate change to spatial planning.
