VIF

The VIF program, initiated by COAL, aims to mobilize the cultural sector to promote actions in favor of the living world. This initiative is based on a dynamic of dialogue and co-construction between those involved in culture and those involved in preserving biodiversity. The VIF program is supported by the French government as part of France 2030’s “Supporting Green Alternatives 2” program, operated by the Banque des territoires (Caisse des Dépôts).
