The project CLIKIS-Network is funded by The European Climate Initiative (EUKI) under contract number 81260355. EUKI is a project financing instrument by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). Its implementation is supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
The Wuppertal Institute is a think tank for sustainability research focused on impact and practical application on society. The aim of the research is to evaluate social changes for a climate-neutral and resource-light society in order to design a 1.5-degree lifestyle. By using sustainability and resource assessment, Wuppertal Institute supports change in companies and households to enable sustainable production and consumption systems.

Information regarding the project
The project “CLIKIS – Climate and Energy Efficient Kitchens in Schools” aims to make a contribution to climate protection and shows how energy-efficient cooking can be achieved in school kitchens. School meals are a sensitive area: not only should they be cooked in a healthy, child-friendly and affordable way, the food for the students should also be of high quality. With the CLIKIS project, we aim to balance these requirements with the requirements of climate protection.
The EU’s goal is to reduce emissions by at least 40 percent by 2030 and 80 to 95 percent by 2050, primarily by expanding renewable energies and increasing energy efficiency. “Nutrition” is of comparable importance for the climate as the other energy-intensive areas of “housing” or “mobility”. However, in contrast to the fuel gauge in the car or the gas and electricity consumption, the climate effect of our food is not directly perceivable or visible. The climate impact consists of many direct and/or indirect factors such as the deforestation of rainforests for cattle breeding or soy cultivation, methane emissions from ruminants, the cooling chain, the use of artificial fertilizers, the amount of waste or the transport route of foodstuffs.

European CLIKIS-Network Conference u Berlinu
On April 8, 2022, the European conference on climate-friendly and sustainable school meals will be held in Berlin.
Under the motto “The future needs healthy and sustainable nutrition”, the aim is that all people – especially young people – must have access to healthy and sustainable food. Good food – not only for the people – also for the climate!
Food production is responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions. This becomes evident with a look at school catering figures: for example, Estonian schools hand out approximately 36 million meals annually, accounting for 43,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

As part of the EU project CLIKIS, which is being implemented in Sisak in elementary schools, the purpose is to improve energy efficiency in school kitchens and measure the energy consumption of appliances in the school kitchen Viktorovac Elementary School began last week. Before Viktorovac, activities were implemented in elementary
