The global community faces an interconnected triple planetary crisis – climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution, driven overwhelmingly by unsustainable patterns of consumption and production. The extraction and processing of material resources alone account for over 55% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and more than 60% when landuse change is included. In this context, the strategic integration of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and Circular Economy (CE) principles into climate policy frameworks has emerged not merely as an environmental imperative but as a foundational lever for achieving higher climate ambition, enhancing resource efficiency, and unlocking green growth. The European Union’s SWITCHAsia Programme, through its Policy Support Component (PSC), has been at the forefront of supporting countries across Central Asia and beyond to harness these synergies, aligning with the EU Green Deal and Global Gateway objectives. This White Paper, developed under a regional Technical Advisory (TA) covering Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, explores the opportunities to capitalise on the synergies between SCP, CE, green growth, and climate ambition. The TA was designed to assess the integration of SCP and CE into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and LongTerm Low Emission Development Strategies (LTLEDS) in Central Asia, with a view to strengthening policy coherence, building institutional capacity, and identifying actionable pathways for scaling resource-efficient, low-waste development.
