The State allocates each year to each of the regions a global allocation for the environment and quality of life, which is set by the Finance Act under the conditions provided for in articles L. 1614-1 and L. 1614-3.
This allocation replaces the budgetary support allocated by the State to each of the regions for environmental protection, with the exception of that previously allocated to the départements and communes and that corresponding to the implementation of nationwide initiatives.
