The SWITCH to Green facility is co-organizing the next conference of the Global Research Forum on Sustainable Consumption and Production to be hosted by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) on Wed 26 June - Sat 29 June 2019.

The conference actively explores the following four themes for research and practice:

Theme #1: Sustainable Lifestyles and Livelihoods

Theme #2: Imagining Sustainable Futures and Transforming Cultures

Theme #3: Asian Perspectives and Priorities in SCP

Theme #4: Smart, Circular, Sustainable Urbanization

It is expected to (among others) strengthen the connection of research institutions with the SWITCH Programmes (in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Mediterranean). A number of SWITCH-Asia projects will be also present at the event, with a view to sharing their experience from SCP action at the SME and consumer levels, with the research community, policy practitioners and the private sector.
