About this event
The IPCC report is clear that we must address demand-side emissions in order to reduce our impact on the planet. UNEP’s new Policy Brief, Enabling Sustainable Lifestyles in a Climate Emergency, offers insights on what forces shape our lifestyles as well as what structural solutions - such as choice editing - can help governments and businesses kickstart the transition to sustainable lifestyles.
This event will delve into how we can change the way we consume, and explore the sustainable living that enables circularity. Policymakers will recount how and why some policy strategies have been successfully (or less successfully) implemented. We will also explore the positive externalities of health and well-being that can be achieved when we address environmental issues.
