Monitoring EU funding for clean air

The European Commission has to report on the uptake of EU funds to support the objectives of the NEC Directive. The methodology used to track EU funding available to implement clean air policy has been elaborated and adopted as part of the NEC implementation report. It builds on the lessons learnt from climate and biodiversity tracking and ensures a consistent approach across various EU programmes.

Based on this methodology, EU funding that contributed to clean air objectives in 2014-2020 was estimated at €46,443 million. For the 2021-2027 period, the projected clean air contribution is estimated at €147,486 million.
