One Planet network - 10YFP

🌏 What if consumers held the key to climate action in Asia-Pacific? The region generates over half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions — but it’s also home to a growing movement of consumers ready to embrace sustainable lifestyles, if they’re given the right choices. In this regional dialogue, co-hosted with Consumers International, we explored how empowering people as consumers — not just as citizens — can accelerate progress on sustainability without leaving anyone behind. 🎥 Missed it? Catch up with the full recording here: https://lnkd.in/eakWitVr 🧩 The session brought together a powerful mix of voices from government, business, youth, and civil society to tackle questions such as: How can sustainable living become the easy choice? What role should governments and companies play? How do we shift systems, not just habits? 👥 Featuring speakers from across the region: ▪️ UNEP, Hot or Cool Institute, Nestlé, Thailand Consumers Council, India’s Ministry of Environment, and more. If you care about climate, consumption, or consumer rights — this conversation is for you. #AsiaPacific #SustainableLifestyles #ConsumerEmpowerment #ClimateAction #OnePlanetNetwork #UNEP #ConsumersInternational

🌎 ¿Y si el consumidor tuviera la clave para acelerar la sostenibilidad en América Latina y el Caribe? La región está llena de soluciones innovadoras para promover estilos de vida sostenibles. Pero aún enfrentamos una gran pregunta: ¿Cómo logramos que estas soluciones también respondan a las necesidades reales de las personas consumidoras? En este diálogo regional, coorganizado con Consumers International, exploramos cómo empoderar a las personas como consumidoras —no solo como ciudadanas— puede generar un cambio más rápido, justo y duradero. 🎥 ¿Te lo perdiste? Mira la grabación completa aquí: https://lnkd.in/eqA4mdUJ 🧩 Hablamos de desafíos concretos y soluciones aplicables: ¿Cómo hacer que vivir de forma sostenible sea la opción más fácil? ¿Qué papel deben asumir gobiernos, empresas y sociedad civil? ¿Cómo garantizamos que nadie se quede atrás en esta transición? 👥 Con la participación de líderes y expertos de toda la región: ▪️ PNUMA, Florex, INDECOPI, Ministerio del Medio Ambiente de Chile, Tribuna (Ecuador), y más.

Emissions from the building and construction sector have stopped rising for the first time since 2020.   The buildings where we work, shop and live account for a third of global emissions and a third of global waste. According to UN Environment Programme’s latest report, "Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction 2024-2025 - Not just another brick in the wall", a growing number of countries are working to decarbonize the sector. The new data shows that by adopting mandatory building energy codes aligned with net-zero emissions, mandatory performance standards and seizing energy efficiency investments, the sector’s energy intensity has reduced by almost 10%, while the renewable energy share in final energy demand has increased by nearly 5%.   But slow progress and financing puts further success at risk. The good news is that government actions are working. But we must do more and do it faster. I encourage all countries to include plans to rapidly cut emissions from buildings and construction in their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (#COP30) in Belém, Brazil.   Read the report, published by UNEP and the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), in full: https://lnkd.in/dYxYsmiS

📢📢 Register now to virtually attend the 5th Global Conference of the One Planet Network’s Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) Programme! Register here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dmmbj4Us The conference is titled “Overcoming the Barriers to Food Systems Transformation – Coherent Policies and Equity-Sensitive Solutions to Simultaneously Fight Hunger and Malnutrition, Biodiversity Loss and the Climate Crisis”, and will take place from 27 to 29 May 2025 in Brasilia, Brazil.    Building on the recommendations of the SFS Programme’s 4th Global Conference and the impetus generated by the UNFCCC COP28 Consensus and UAE Declaration Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems and Climate Action, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the Stocktaking Process of the UN Food Systems Summit, the OBJECTIVES of the 5th Global Conference are:    1.    To encourage meaningful, inclusive and cross-sectoral collaboration at all levels to urgently address food systems challenges through convergence across all related policy areas.   2.    To inspire action to overcome the barriers to food systems transformation by showcasing integrated solutions for the coherent implementation of global commitments.   3.    To stimulate further mainstreaming of food systems in all relevant multilateral agreements and policy fora, financial institutions as well as donor and investment strategies. The conference is co-organized by the Federal Government of Brazil, the SFS Programme and the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub. It will be virtually broadcasted via live stream. 👉 We kindly invite you to register for VIRTUAL attendance through this link at your earliest convenience: https://lnkd.in/dmmbj4Us   🔎 For further information on the conference, including on background, program, and speakers, please visit the conference website: https://lnkd.in/dgXB9HtT   We look forward to seeing you join the conference! ❤️

Our Sustainable Lifestyles Summit is in full swing, and packed full of powerful insights, solutions and actions to make sustainability accessible, transparent, and just for all consumers.   A few of the standout learnings so far include:   🍽️ Love Food, Hate Waste – Consumers urgently want more transparency in food labelling, education is crucial to empowering informed choices, and a circular economy approach is needed to cut waste.   🌏 Regional Connect on Sustainable Lifestyles in Asia – Consumers across Asia are supportive of sustainable lifestyles, but a successful transition will depend on recognising the rights and needs of different communities, especially the most vulnerable.   🔍 Consumer Information – 76% of Brazilian consumers would boycott unsustainable brands, proving that trust and transparency matter. Attendees heard more on the role of the EU Greenwashing Directive and the influence of AI-powered product assessments.    🤝 Making Sustainability More Human – More of us want to live sustainably but real challenges like cost and convenience stand in the way. We explored the importance of telling positive stories and greater understanding of the real and fast changing challenges we face as consumers.    ♻️ Unwrapping the Plastics Crisis – Plastic pollution is not just an environmental issue—it’s a health crisis. The Plastics Treaty must address toxic chemicals, product design standards, and financial support for low-income countries to drive meaningful change.   💡 Consumers Leading the Charge – The "values-action gap" is real. Consumers want to be sustainable but need affordable, accessible options. We heard case studies on how digital payments, data-driven policies, and community-led solutions are helping to make sustainability easier.   And we’re not done yet! We still have two more days of insightful discussions across nature and biodiversity, gender, energy, community action, as well as our closing session.   Register here: https://lnkd.in/eYUmHrn6 #WorldConsumerRightsDay #JustSustainableLifestyles
