Networks

Global Network on Sustainable Lifestyles

The Global Network on Sustainable Lifestyles seeks to inspire decision-makers, stakeholders and the public to think differently about how to enable more sustainable ways of living. It provides tools and methodologies to make sense out of abstract concepts and ideas. Not only do we want to make practices of sustainable lifestyles accessible and understandable, thus “speaking the language” of the different social actors but co-create new stories of our sustainable future and envision and design the future we want. We believe that visualizing possible futures helps us to create those futures.

Global Network on Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The network has been established to connect the many organisations, existing networks, and individuals in the private, public and consumer sectors to create synergies and a critical global mass to enable a significant business contribution to sustainable living.

The Global Network does not aim to replicate or duplicate existing platforms, but rather create collaboration and synergies between them. The network has a specific focus on the role of businesses and entrepreneurs to tackle sustainable living hot spots, and scale up their value and impacts on people, profits, and planet.

SWITCH-Asia Network Facility

The SWITCH-Asia Network Facility is set up within the EU's SWITCH-Asia Programme to maximise its impact by effective knowledge sharing and dissemination, and networking. It distils knowledge of project practices and promote effective replication. 

The SWITCH-Asia Network Facility works predominantly with the sustainable consumption and production (SCP) projects funded by the European Union. It seeks synergies amongst SWITCH-Asia projects, creates linkages with regional SCP activities and other networks, and helps bring results to the attention of Asian policy-makers.
