The Operator of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme decided to increase the co-financing of implemented projects due to a significant increase in prices caused by the macroeconomic situation in the region.

Beneficiaries of all calls for proposals under the Programme were encouraged to apply for an increase in co-financing. The rules for granting an increase were defined by the Cooperation Committee after consultation with the FMO. In accordance with the adopted rules, the final decision on granting additional funds is made by the Program Operator - the Minister of Climate and Environment on the basis of the assessment carried out by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFEP&WM) and after consulting the Cooperation Committee.
