Why

Research by the GreenPaths partners shows that the decisions governments make can effect real change for many people in Europe and beyond. The convergence of the climate emergency, the economic crisis that began in 2007, the pandemic, and the war in Ukraine have increased inequality and weakened social cohesion. In this context, setting up a knowledge platform and creating a European network backed by scientific evidence of the impacts of climate and environmental policy interventions is sorely needed. The GreenPaths project derives from previous and ongoing work by the consortium partners around the green and just transitions, in particular on energy and climate, land use, transport, food, agriculture, construction, trade and taxation, and industrial production.

Purpose

For GreenPaths, ”green and just transitions”, means:

  • A shift towards a sustainable model of production and consumption that prioritises the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation and resilience policies, the protection of biodiversity, and the protection and restoration of ecosystems.
  • A shift towards a social model based on equity and social cohesion, including fair distribution of the benefits and costs of the climate transition, to guarantee access to public goods and services, generate decent employment, and reduce inequalities.
  • A shift towards greater citizen’ participation and expanded social dialogue that enables more democratic planning and implementation of the desired transitions.

The hub

The GreenPaths Hub is a knowledge platform for all those involved or interested in the green and just transition. It provides a variety of materials tailored for and by policymakers, researchers, academics, and members of civil society organisations. The Hub includes materials produced by the project as well as other resources produced by the project partners. It offers a 360º view of all your knowledge needs on green and just transitions.

SF4C is an initiative aiming to promote sustainable and healthy diets on a large scale across the European Union. It plans to achieve this by directly influencing over 3,000 schools and impacting the lives of 600,000 school children in 12 EU countries. SF4C believes that schools and children, spanning ages 0-18, can serve as catalysts for systemic change, influencing the dietary habits of all EU citizens. The initiative is supported by 33 partners, primarily governmental entities responsible for sustainable healthy school meals, including pioneers from various EU countries. The project focuses on integrating sustainable food practices, involving school chefs and urban food enablers, and engaging with policymakers. The overarching goal is to make meaningful contributions to achieving the goals of the EU’s EU Farm to Fork Strategy, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the well-being of children through access to nutritious food. The project emphasizes collaboration with local and national stakeholders, supports climate targets, and aims to establish a minimum standard for sustainable food procurement. Efforts also include communication and dissemination activities to raise awareness and engage with global initiatives.

The SF4C project wants to bring systemic solutions to systemic problems around food and school food sourced from land, inland water, and sea. By applying a triple impact approach, and empowering vulnerable children and young people (0-18 years of age) in and around schools, the project will reach all EU citizens to achieve an impactful shift to sustainable healthy diets.  

SF4C has five specific objectives (SO):

  • SO1: To innovate and roll out sustainable healthy food procurement, sourced from land, inland water and sea, in line with the EU Farm to Fork Strategy and the SDGs.
  • SO2: Through innovative planetary health diets & cooking linked to the identity of the territory, train and empower cooks and urban food enablers in the cities;
  • SO3: To ensure an enabling educational environment through the innovative whole school food approach which is a method about achieving a healthy food culture in and around schools, contributing to community-wide whole systems change, and impacting on education, sustainability, inequalities, communities and health
  • SO4: To assess the SF4C impact, demonstrate real-life delivery (business case), particularly on health and behavioral change of vulnerable children, and prove that it can be cost-effective
  • SO5: To seek impact for all EU citizens, demonstrate swift EU replicability, also beyond schools, and engage with EC Services and projects on increased Farm to Fork impact toward 2030
