Objective
Sustainable consumption and production (SCP) is key policy priority world-wide. In our view, sustainable consumption and production structures can only be realized if experts that understand business development, (sustainable) solution design, consumer beh aviour and effectiveness of (policy) instruments work together in shaping them. Furthermore, this should be linked with experiences of actors (industry, consumer groups, ecolabelling organisations) in real-life consumption areas. Since in the EU a network with these characteristics is absent, this project sets up a Co-ordination action on SCP, emphasizing on "user awareness" for sustainable consumption, involving key expertise covering all relevant steps of the value chain in the priority consumption domain s Mobility, Agro-Food, and Energy/electronics. These domains contribute to over 70% of the life cycle impacts of household consumption, are a priority in the EUs Enviromental Technologies Action Plan (ETAP), and give good examples of user awareness schemes (e.g. labeling). The CA is organized around a series of Workshops and Conferences. A first Workshop is will provide a general exchange of views. The second phase of the project gives sustainable consumption cases in the domains centre stage. These are use d as vehicles for a positive confrontation of insights from different science field, leading to true best practice generation, suggestions for implementation of user awareness approaches, research programming, and development of conceptual insights. The sc ience and consumption domains are covered by 8 WP leaders and 21 Participants and will involve a much larger community of SCP experts from industry, government and science. A close liaison with UNEP, promoting a 10 Year Framework of Programs on SCP will be organised. Finally, the CA should have build a permanent, self-supporting research network in this field.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
