Evaluation of EU LIFE Fund in the UK (NECR266)

This research project develops an evidence base relevant to determining the need for a LIFE type fund in the UK. The research consists of two distinct elements: the first, an evaluation of the historic and current use of LIFE in the UK; the second, a forward look to post EU exit and how a LIFE type fund could effectively deliver better environmental outcomes. Whilst the project has been led by Natural England, the consultants have worked closely with Defra group bodies and with nature conservation bodies in UK.
