Summary
Taking the European Union (EU) as a reference, this chapter critically examines the new landscape of ecolabelling and its relation to climate change. In particular, the focus is on the need to create a food environmental labelling that will play a fundamental role in future scenarios and also in business-to-consumer relations, in fulfilment of the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the United Nations (UN) Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the European Green Deal. To achieve climate sustainability it is necessary to design future instruments that are in line with obligations such as the nutritional Front of Pack Labelling, progressively extending ecolabelling from non-food to food products, thus guaranteeing adequate consumer information.
