DESCRIPTION
The June edition of LIFEnews reports on LIFE at Green Week 2013. The lead article highlights the programme's contribution to the implementation of EU policies and legislation on air quality. In particular, we look at a study on LIFE and air quality commissioned by the EC and presented at Green Week, and hear from the deputy head of the LIFE Environment Unit Joaquim Capitão on integrated projects. A second article focuses on the best LIFE Environment and Nature projects of 2012, which were celebrated at an awards ceremony during the event. The future of LIFE was addressed during the ceremony by Jutta Haug, MEP, who is leading the negotiations for the next LIFE programme period.
