The EEA and Norway Grants for the 2021-2028 funding period allocate €3.3 billion to support Europe's green transition, democracy, and social resilience across 15 programme areas. This funding is structured around three overarching priorities:
-
European Green Transition: Focusing on environmental protection, renewable energy, and climate change mitigation.
-
Democracy, Rule of Law, and Human Rights: Aiming to strengthen democratic institutions, uphold the rule of law, and protect human rights.
