Project description
An integrated package of activities for sustainable production and consumption
Production and consumption drive the economy. Global challenges like climate change, land and ecosystem degradation, coupled with a growing population, force us to seek new, sustainable ways of life that respect the ecological boundaries of our planet. The EU-funded Transition2BIO project is proposing an integrated package of activities addressing a wide range of stakeholders (demand side, supply side, multipliers and supportive environment). It will valorise and exploit sectoral communication tools and activities, raise public awareness of bioeconomy and contribute to the transition towards more sustainable production through engagement and education activities. The project is promoted by the founders of the European Bioeconomy Network, an alliance of more than 70 projects and initiatives promoting bioeconomy.
Objective
Transition2BIO will built upon the most relevant communication and education EU funded projects and initiatives to contribute to the implementation of the updated 2018 EU Bioeconomy Strategy and promote the transition towards a more sustainable production, consumption and lifestyle by implementing an integrated package of activities addressing a wide range of target stakeholders, namely: DEMAND SIDE; SUPPLY SIDE; MULTIPLIERS and SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. The project will:
•Valorize and exploit sectoral communication tools and activities developed at national, regional and local level by EU funded bioeconomy projects and other relevant initiatives
•Raise awareness on bioeconomy at large and the related environmental and socio-economic impacts for European citizens through communication activities
•Contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable production, consumption and lifestyles through engagement and education activities
•Contribute to the deployment of the regional bioeconomy strategies by providing Member States and Regions with methodologies, mentoring, capacity building, tools and materials to raise awareness and communicate bioeconomy (contributing to action 2.3 of updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy)
•Facilitate the identification of the educational and training needs towards the creation of an innovation ecosystem for bioeconomy (contributing to action 2.4 of updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy)
•Strengthen the European Bioeconomy Network to maximize the collaboration among and impacts of EU-funded projects in bioeconomy (contributing to action 2.3 of updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy)
Transition2BIO is promoted by the founders of the European Bioeconomy Network, an alliance of 57 projects and initiatives promoting Bioeconomy.
