The aim of the School Fruit Scheme Strategy for the 2010–2013 school years was to set up the budget of the programme, target groups, accompanying measures that help the children to recognise the importance of healthy eating habits and distributable products. Fruit and vegetables were distributed, free of charge, to pupils in primary education (years 1 to 4) at Lithuanian general schools wishing to participate in the School Fruit Scheme. To make the Scheme more effective, its implementation must be accompanied by awareness-raising and educational measures - organised by schools involved in the program - to help schoolchildren understand the importance of healthy eating habits. 

The CICERONE project addresses the barriers posed by a lack of EU level coordination in the area of R&I to an acceleration of the rate of innovation. It does so by supporting the technical collaboration and policy alignment between public founding bodies of circular economy R&I programmes in order to promote the emergence of joint programmes tackling the transition needed to a circular economy and reaching the targets set in the Paris Agreement and EU Green Deal. To achieve this objective cicerone proposes the establishment of a platform for circular economy Research & Innovation – the EU Circular Cooperation Hub (EU CCH) that will help develop and implement a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for Circular Economy (SRIA) for Europe.

This document introduces two analytical tools developed under the SUMP-PLUS project to support cities in developing transition pathways and enhancing cross-sector planning. The first tool, the "High-Level Carbon Reduction Strategy Support Tool," aids cities in achieving long-term carbon reduction targets within their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). The second tool is the "Space Syntax Simplified Analytical Toolbox," a GIS-based tool simplifying urban analysis and modeling for smaller cities developing SUMPs. Both tools were tested and refined in SUMP-PLUS City Labs, with detailed application insights provided.

This document outlines the collaborative efforts of SUMP-PLUS with various cities to co-design, develop, and implement tools facilitating the transition to sustainable mobility. Focusing on small and medium-sized cities facing resource constraints, the tools address challenges in governance, engagement, long-term planning for net-zero carbon, sector collaboration, and implementation. The deliverable introduces 14 tools grouped into governance and engagement, transition pathways, cross-sector engagement, and implementation categories. It highlights the innovative aspects of each tool and discusses their application, aiming to empower smaller cities in building internal resources and simplifying methodologies for comprehensive Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP).

The CLARA project aims to develop and provide climate services to support decision-making in various sectors. It focuses on developing business models for climate services and identifying barriers and opportunities for their implementation. The project attempts to provide a set of user-friendly and reliable climate services that can help users make informed decisions and adapt to climate change.

The CLARA project aims to establish fifteen climate services, and provides an assessment of the value added generated from their deployment. It monitors the technical progress/development of the Climate Services, which are co-generated within the CLARA project. The methodologies applied are different and depend upon the intrinsic characteristics of the services. The project attempts to provide valuable insights into the economic impact of CLARA services for the end-users.
