Montenegro joined the EU LIFE programme for environment and climate action. This offers the country the opportunity to benefit from LIFE's support for mobilising public and private (financial) resources for climate action, biodiversity protection, circular economy and clean energy transition. The LIFE programme will foster projects in Montenegro, for example to improve waste management, increase energy efficiency, enhance water resilience, and support the development, monitoring, and enforcement of laws and strategies that contribute to the implementation of EU environmental, energy and climate policies.

Montenegro joining the EU LIFE programme follows yesterday's signature of an agreement between Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy Commissioner Jessika Roswall (pictured), and the Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Northern Region development of Montenegro, Damjan Ćulafić. This makes Montenegro the fifth non-EU country to join the programme following Iceland, Ukraine, Moldova and North Macedonia. 

Commissioner Roswall said: “We are delighted to welcome Montenegro to the LIFE family. This association marks an important step forward in our cooperation on environmental and climate issues. We look forward to working together to address the challenges that Montenegro faces to meet EU environmental standards, an essential part of its path towards accession, and to advance the country's clean energy transition.”

Applicants from Montenegro can submit proposals under the LIFE calls for proposals 2025.
