Communication,<br />
awareness<br />
raising on<br />
climate change<br />
The Climate Change Communications<br />
Initiative (CCCI) was launched in<br />
December 2005. The initiative built on<br />
an evidence base which indicated that<br />
there was a need to focus on helping<br />
people understand that climate change<br />
was a “here and now” issue, and<br />
emphasised the value of using “trusted<br />
intermediaries” to shift attitudes.<br />
The initiative uses the latest multimedia<br />
techniques, including interactive<br />
websites, champion blogs and films, to<br />
promote individual involvement in action<br />
against climate change under the theme<br />
Tomorrow’s Climate: Today’s Challenge.<br />

The Government Collaborative Food<br />
Procurement Programme was<br />
established to identify how public<br />
sector organisations can work together<br />
when buying food to achieve improved<br />
sustainability.<br />
Government Buying Standards (developed<br />
by a Cross-Government Stakeholder<br />
Group and introduced in 2010)<br />

government buyers to buy sustainably.<br />
The standards include:<br />

government buyers must follow when<br />
procuring a range of products;<br />
•Information about sustainable<br />
procurement and how to apply it when<br />
buying;<br />
•Direct links to websites with lists of<br />
products that meet the standards.<br />
