GPP 2020 - Mainstreaming low-carbon procurement

2013 - 2016

GPP 2020 has demonstrated the huge energy and CO2 savings which public authorities in Europe can make by procuring innovative products, services and works.

Over the course of three years, more than 100 low-carbon tenders were implemented by over 40 public authorities in eight countries, resulting in calculated savings of over 900,000 tonnes CO2e and 140,000 toe (tonnes of oil equivalent).

GPP 2020 also put in place structures to support public authorities looking to implement low-carbon tenders in future. These include dedicated national helpdesks, replicable case studies and an international training programme.

For more information on how other local authorities can replicate these achievements, visit www.gpp2020.eu
