1 Ghent Workshop 4/5 October 2004
LIFE’s role in Science/Policy Integration and the Common Implementation Strategy of the WFD Ghent Workshop 4/5 October 2004 Michael Oliver

2 L’Instrumente Financier de l’Environnement
Funding mechanism – makes prioritised call once per year – deadline autumn Co-finances environmental demonstration projects (50%) Forms a body of knowledge and experience -database 1

3 Budget Over 150 million euros each year for 2 more years
Split equally between LIFE Environment (focus on innovation) and LIFE Nature (focus on nature conservation within Natura sites) Roughly 100 LIFE Environment Projects per year, usually running for 3 years (7 to 1 success rate for applicants) 1

4 Rationale of LIFE If policy is to be developed or improved it should be tested in the real world If we want people to implement new policy it would be useful to show them that it works and what the difficulties will be Demonstration projects link science to policy 1

5 Context : LIFE and CIS Commission Unit D2 are promoting demonstration activities in Pilot River Basins LIFE Unit D1 manages a funding instrument for demonstration projects. D1 and D2 agree priorities for proposals 1

6 Effectiveness, or otherwise, for CIS…
No LIFE projects for Pilot River Basin projects specifically for testing CIS tools Few if any LIFE project case studies in CIS Guidance documents 6

7 Example : Wetlands Search on LIFE website “wetland” – 274 hits
18 case studies in Wetlands guidance document – none LIFE funded Search on “river basin” – 55 hits Search on “wetland AND river basin” – 14 hits 9

8 Why so ineffective so far?
No applications to test CIS tools in PRBs Limitations of demonstration projects (they each need to deal with many issues) Difficult to integrate demonstration projects into guidance documents - especially when they take very different approaches Projects tend not to be good at all things You tell us 10

9 Conclusions LIFE isn’t perfectly suited to your needs
LIFE could satisfy some CIS demonstration requirements (water pricing, programme of measures) LIFE allows a review the value of demonstration projects (both for project outcomes and the network of expertise) LIFE can only partially link science to policy LIFE is good at providing information on guidance documents 12
