In the emerging narrative of sustainable development in Asia, the
essential challenge is to reduce the use of natural resources and
environmental degradation alongside the increasing demand for goods
and services. To achieve this, Sustainable Consumption and
Production (SCP), one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
adopted by the United Nations in 2015, aims at reconciling the
three goals of minimising the extraction of natural resources from
the environment, limiting waste and emissions over the life cycle
of goods and services and improving human development and
wellbeing.Sustainable Asia: Supporting the Transition to
Sustainable Consumption and Production in Asian Developing
Countries provides an overview and analysis of the current status
of SCP in Asian developing countries. The book focuses on projects
supported by the EU-funded SWITCH-Asia Programme, a regional
development cooperation programme promoting the adoption of SCP
practices among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and
consumer groups in Asia since 2007.For readers looking for a
comprehensive introduction to the topic of SCP together with a
detailed analysis of the current developmental situation in various
Asian developing countries and key sectors such as manufacturing,
tourism, renewable energy and agriculture, this book is an
invaluable tool. The book examines in detail the SCP approaches and
innovative solutions demonstrated by the SWITCH-Asia supported
projects in Asia and thus serves as a reference for practitioners,
researchers and policymakers alike.
