Satisfying basic needs respecting the Earth's limits - Addressing poverty through sustainable consumption and production practices
This booklet:
- introduces sustainable consumption and production (SCP);
- presents SCP solutions to the pressing issue of poverty;
- provides inspiration for policymakers and project developers in Europe and Asia who are considering application for funding under the SWITCH Asia Programme;
- shows how SCP projects could support national, regional and global poverty reduction.
It has two sides that present challenges and solutions. This unique design requires the reader to flip it around to continue reading in the middle – it needs to be SWITCHED!
One side of the booklet deals with the 'challenges' of poverty reduction, and assists proposal developers in defining problems and searching for solutions in SCP.
The other side provides SCP 'solutions' to poverty reduction, and helps identify SCP practices relevant for poverty reduction during project development for the SWITCH-Asia Programme.
