The role of governments in the transition towards the long term sustainability

IGES co-organises the 4th webisode of the 15th conference of the Asia Pacific Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption and Production (APRSCP), which began on 20 April 2021 and releases new episodes on Tuesdays until 11 May 2021. Co-organised with the S-16 Project of Environment Research and Technology Fund of Japan (project co-led by University of Tokyo, NIES, IGES and Keio University), and APRSCP, this webisode focuses on the theme, “Facilitating Transition to Sustainable Lifestyles”. It discusses the latest actions and research results regarding co-creating sustainable lifestyles through collaborations between communities, local governments and businesses. The session is a good opportunity to discover useful tips for green recovery from COVID-19 based on experiences with the latest trends for businesses contributing to the circular economy, and communities taking action towards decarbonisation.
