Country Type / name of initiative Description SK Eco-labelling The National environmental labelling scheme for Environmental friendly products (adapted by Act No.469/2002) aims to promote the production and consumption of products that lower negative impacts on environment, energy consumption and consumption of raw material and hazardous substances, to improve better knowledge about environmental performance of products among the public, producers, suppliers, sellers. UK Communication, awareness raising on climate change The Climate Change Communications Initiative (CCCI) was launched in December 2005. The initiative built on an evidence base which indicated that there was a need to focus on helping people understand that climate change was a “here and now” issue, and emphasised the value of using “trusted intermediaries” to shift attitudes. The initiative uses the latest multimedia techniques, including interactive websites, champion blogs and films, to promote individual involvement in action against climate change under the theme Tomorrow’s Climate: Today’s Challenge. UK Education The academic year 2006/2007 was the year of action on sustainable schools, sponsored by the governmental Department of Education and Skills. It aimed to embed sustainability in all areas of school life. UK UK Public sector and sustainable food <strong>Sustainable</strong> public procurement The Government Collaborative Food Procurement Programme was established to identify how public sector organisations can work together when buying food to achieve improved sustainability. Government Buying Standards (developed by a Cross-Government Stakeholder Group and introduced in 2010) are designed to make it easier for government buyers to buy sustainably. The standards include: •Official specifications that all government buyers must follow when procuring a range of products; •Information about sustainable procurement and how to apply it when buying; •Direct links to websites with lists of products that meet the standards.

Country Type / name of initiative Information, awareness raising Description Domain(s) UK The We’re in this together (WITT) campaign, launched in April 2007, is based on the voluntary commitment of companies to provide attractive, practical and environmentally sound offers to consumers. It aims to make sustainable consumption easier. The WarmZone programme was funded by the local authority Kirklees Council and Scottish Power, a large power company, and implemented in the years 2007-2010. It offered free cavity wall and loft insulation to all citizens. Northumberland Care Trust has worked in partnership with Alnwick Garden to develop and implement the “Roots and Shoots” programme to selected schools in North East England. Children have the opportunity to learn how to plant and grow food and to join “growing clubs”. These encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables, as well as to be more active. Low Carbon Buildings Programme (initiated in 2006) provides grants to householders, communities, businesses, public and charitable organisations towards the cost of installing solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, small scale hydro, solar hot water, ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps, biomass and, in the future, renewable CHP (combined heat and power), microchip and fuel cells. The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme is a mandatory scheme aimed at improving energy efficiency and cutting emissions in large public and private sector organisations. It operates as a “cap and trade” mechanism: organisations buy allowances equal to their annual emissions; a “cap” is placed on the total allowances available to each group of CRC participants; organisations determine the most cost-effective way to reduce their emissions, through buying extra allowances or investing in ways to decrease the number of allowances they need to buy; all the money raised through the allowances is recycled back to participants, according to how well they perform.
