Overall objectives: | |||
*Support and promote all the objectives of the EYD 2015; | |||
*Facilitate and contribute to pan-European debates on sustainable development in the post-MDG framework; | |||
*Contribute to the achievement of previous MDGs 1,2,3,7 and 8 (valid until 2015, then further elaborated in SDGs and post-MDGs); | |||
*Enhance the understanding of European citizens of the interdependencies between sustainable consumption and production patterns in Europe and global sustainable development. | |||
Activities: | |||
*Awareness Raising: Engaging and informing citizens about the impact of their lifestyles and consumer choices with a variety of activities, among these the European Food Vision Photo Contest and Exhibition, as well as a European wide Day of Action. | |||
*Business Dialogue: develop and conduct capacity building programmes for businesses to provide solutions for hotspots of global supply chains, as well as inviting professionals from producing countries to give first hand information on working conditions and environmental issues. | |||
*Policy Advocacy: development of policy recommendations. These set the framework for more sustainable sourcing in European supermarkets. | |||
*Research: to collect first hand data on the production patterns of European retail supply chains. By means of independent research we are tracing the sourcing practices of European companies to producing countries and provide recommendations on how to improve working conditions and mitigate environmental impact. Among others we have sent teams to investigate production examples of tuna, pineapple, orange juice, chocolate, as well as studies into the effectiveness of ecological and social certification schemes. | |||
