Establish Sustainable Consumption and Production - a South-South Transfer (“SCP South-South”)

General

In partner countries, the agriculture, food and tourism sectors are associated with environmental problems such as land degradation and deforestation. These sectors are also relevant for greenhouse gas emissions. The project is tackling these issues with a range of strategies and measures for sustainable production and consumption, with one approach focusing on support for national governments in the development of mitigation strategies in the agro-food sector. Companies are also being encouraged to support sustainable business models in industries such as palm oil production, hospitality and tourism. The inclusion of key opinion leaders plus support from public information campaigns has also helped to raise awareness in the general population about sustainable approaches to production and consumption.
