Responsible production & consumption
How we make and use the products and goods we use in everyday life plays an important role in tackling climate change.
Taking raw materials from the ground, manufacturing products and then throwing away our used products and waste materials can all add to greenhouse gas emissions. But there are low-carbon ways to design, produce, supply and recycle products.
We can live more climate friendly lifestyles if we manage our natural resources sustainably, and be more energy and resource efficient during the entire life-cycle of the goods we consume.
Submit videos that showcase your activities that contribute to responsible production and consumption
Examples of submissions:
- Carrying out climate friendly solutions/ideas on how to promote sustainable production or consumption
- Campaigns to promote behavioural change
- Initiatives to reduce emissions during the lifecycle of goods, in areas such as:
- unnecessary consumption
- sustainable fashion
- sharing economy
- reusing goods and materials
- transporting goods
- locally focused economy
- reducing waste
