Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, and urgent interventions are required to avoid the 1.5˚C threshold established by the Paris Agreement. Such interventions represent actions to achieve net zero emissions across productive sectors by 2050. The food sector deserves special attention not only for being essential to feed the world population, also because food systems are estimated to contribute to a third of anthropogenic global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the current population and economic growth trends, food systems must go through pivotal modifications to ensure food security while reducing environmental impacts. Thus, addressing sustainability in the food sector requires integrated approaches examining the stakeholders involved in the entire food supply chain (FSC) within the farm gate and beyond. The Horizon 2020 ENOUGH project (https://enough-emissions.eu/) aims at quantifying GHG emissions at the different stages of the FSC and evaluating the potential and effectiveness of alternative decarbonisation strategies. As part of it, the first task consists of mapping European (i) policies and regulations, (ii) standards and eco-labels, (iii) consumer initiatives, (iv) industry initiatives, and (v) financial mechanisms that aim at decarbonizing the European FSC. In the first phase, European Union (EU) level initiatives are collected and supplemented by some national and regional initiatives. The mapped initiatives directly or indirectly affect decarbonisation, which may be their main goal or part of a set of goals. The website of the project lists the mapped initiatives and provides more details on them, while in the following we provide an overview of the main findings. A categorization framework is developed to analyze the mapped data. The categorization aims to obtain information related to the context of the mapped policies, regulations, standards, eco-labels, initiatives and financial mechanisms.
