Input to this came from an internal review, and a consultation with a wide range of external stakeholders. SAPEA also solicited the views of international experts on trends in science advice. The work was led by Louise Edwards, AE Cardiff Hub Manager. <br /> <br /> The Plan establishes four new strategic priorities – on Service Innovation and Impact; Widening Excellence and Participation; Communication for Impact; and Knowledge Sharing and Best Practice. <br /> <br /> The new Plan will bridge from the current SAPEA project, due to run to mid-2025, into the next SAPEA project, which is anticipated to last up to 5 years. <br /> <br /> Read the <a class="external" href="https://scientificadvice.eu/reports/strategic-development-plan-for-sapea" target="_blank">Strategic development plan for SAPEA – Scientific Advice Mechanism</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" />. <br /> <br /> <hr /> <br /> <div class="image_left"> <div class="image_image"><a href="https://sapea.info/topic/crisis-management"><img src="/attach/Acad_Main/Activities/SAPEA/Publications/crisis-management_small.png" height="400" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid;" /></a><div class="image_caption"> </div> </div> </div> <h3 id="section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-STRATEGICCRISISMANAGEMENTINTHEEUROPEANUNIONReport">STRATEGIC CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Report<a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-STRATEGICCRISISMANAGEMENTINTHEEUROPEANUNIONReport">#</a></h3> <h3 id="section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-NewreportsonStrategicCrisisManagementintheEU">New reports on Strategic Crisis Management in the EU<a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-NewreportsonStrategicCrisisManagementintheEU">#</a></h3> <p><b>SAPEA publishes its latest <a class="external" href="https://sapea.info/wp-content/uploads/crisis-management-report.pdf" target="_blank">Evidence Review Report</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" />, with input from Academia Europaea.

The report concludes that biodegradable plastic  has a role to play in reducing the accumulation of plastics in the environment. However, its role is limited to some  specific  applications. In other cases, including single-use packaging and plastic bags, it would be better to reduce the amount of plastic we use — or to re-use it, recycle it, or, where we can, compost it in industrial plants. <br /> <br /> The group was chaired by <a class="external" href="https://www.kth.se/fpt/polymer-technology/staff/senior-researchers/ann-christine-albertsson-professor-emeritus-1.425821" target="_blank">Professor Ann-Christine Albertsson</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" />. With the first working group meeting taking place at the end of February and regular meetings held throughout the period of the pandemic, this was the first SAPEA review to be conducted entirely via virtual means. Despite the challenges, the report has been delivered on-time. <br /> <br /> In the evidence review report, a working group of leading experts nominated by academies across Europe The Evidence Review Report highlights a number of key conclusions, including: <br /> <ul><li>Biodegradable plastics do have a specific role to play in reducing the accumulation of plastics in the environment but they are not a ‘silver bullet’ for solving the problem of plastics pollution </li><li>Biodegradable plastics must be considered on a case-by-case basis, with thorough and rigorous testing, and clear information to consumers and business </li></ul><br /> Following the launch of the report in December, there will be an extensive campaign of promotion and outreach throughout 2021. <br /> <br /> <a class="external" href="https://www.sapea.info/wp-content/uploads/bop-report.pdf" target="_blank">Biodegradability of Plastics Evidence Review Report</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /><br /> <a class="external" href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/research_and_innovation/groups/sam/ec_rtd_sam-biodegradability-of-plastics.pdf" target="_blank">Group of Chief Scientific Advisors’ Scientific Opinion</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <div class="columns-250;"> <div class="image_default"> <div class="image_image"><a href="https://www.sapea.info/wp-content/uploads/bop-report.pdf"><img src="/attach/Acad_Main/Activities/SAPEA/Publications/Biodegradability_of_plastic_small.jpg" height="300" alt="Biodegradability_of_plastic_small.jpg" title="Biodegradability_of_plastic_small.jpg" style="border:1px solid;" /></a><div class="image_caption"> </div> </div> </div> <hr /> <div class="image_default"> <div class="image_image"><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/research_and_innovation/groups/sam/ec_rtd_sam-biodegradability-of-plastics.pdf"><img src="/attach/Acad_Main/Activities/SAPEA/Publications/biodegradability_in_plastic2_small.jpg" height="300" alt="biodegradability_in_plastic2_small.jpg" title="biodegradability_in_plastic2_small.jpg" style="border:1px solid;" /></a><div class="image_caption"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <hr /> <h3 id="section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-SAPEApublishesitsSustainabilityPlan">SAPEA publishes its Sustainability Plan<a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-SAPEApublishesitsSustainabilityPlan">#</a></h3> <b>Academia Europaea and its Cardiff Knowledge Hub have led the work on sustainability planning for the future strategic development of SAPEA.</b> <br /> <br /> <div class="image_left"> <div class="image_image"><a rel="lightbox[wikipage] img" title="" href="/attach/Acad_Main/Activities/SAPEA/Publications/sapea-sustainability-plan01_small.jpg"><img src="/attach/Acad_Main/Activities/SAPEA/Publications/sapea-sustainability-plan01_small.jpg" height="350" alt="sapea-sustainability-plan01_small.jpg" title="sapea-sustainability-plan01_small.jpg" style="border:1px solid;" /></a><div class="image_caption"> </div> </div> </div> <br /> <br /> <a class="external" href="https://www.sapea.info" target="_blank">SAPEA</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /> (Science for Policy by European Academies) has published its sustainability plan, which lays out a roadmap for the consortium’s future development in providing evidence for the <a class="external" href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/strategy/support-policy-making/scientific-support-eu-policies/group-chief-scientific-advisors_en" target="_blank">European Commission’s Group of Chief Scientific Advisors</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" />. <br /> <br /> Overseen by Academia Europaea, work on the plan started in 2018.

It is vital for our survival, and links us to our natural and social environment in a unique way. But our food system is unsustainable. How can we ensure future food security without treating people unfairly or leaving them behind?</b> <br /> <br /> Food systems have complex social, economic and ecological components, and radical transformation is needed to make them sustainable. This report from SAPEA lays out the science on how that transition can happen in an inclusive, just and timely way. </p> <h4 id="section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-Whatthereportsays">What the report says<a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FActivities_2FSAPEA_2FPublications-Whatthereportsays">#</a></h4> <p>The global demand for food will increase in the future. To meet this demand, it is not enough simply to increase productivity in a sustainable way. We also need to change from linear mass consumption to a more circular economy — which will mean changing our norms, habits and routines. <br /> <br /> The evidence shows that this kind of behaviour change needs to happen collectively, not just individually. So we need joined-up governance at local, national and international levels. <br /> <br /> Food systems also contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. This can be addressed by reducing waste or directing it back into the supply chain. <br /> <br /> A mix of different measures will be most effective. The evidence shows that taxation is one of the most effective ways to modify behaviour. Accreditation and labelling schemes can also have an impact. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, reform of European agriculture and fisheries policies offer great opportunities to develop resilience and sustainability. <br /> <br /> But there is not yet enough evidence to know for sure exactly what works in practice, so the steps we take should be carefully evaluated, and trade-offs anticipated. <br /> <br /> </p> </div> <div style="clear:both;" ></div> </div> </div> <div class="clearbox"></div> </div> <div id="eventsandnews" style="clear: both"> <script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"> var baseurl ="";</script> </div> <div id='actionsBottom' class="pageactions" style=" background-color: #2759AB; "> <div id="pageactionsbottom" style="background-color: #2759AB; margin-left:10px;margin-top:10px"> <a href="/ae/Acad_Main/Imprint" style="float:left;">Imprint</a> <a href="/ae/Acad_Main/PrivacyPolicy" style="float:left;margin-left:10px">Privacy policy</a> <!-- --> <a href="#top" class="action quick2top" title="Go to top">&laquo;</a> This page (revision-18) was last changed on <a href="/Diff.jsp?page=Acad_Main/Activities/SAPEA/Publications&amp;r1=18&amp;r2=17"> Monday, 29.
