Transforming societies by raising “sustainability awareness” and emphasizing the critical role of consumption decisions is fundamental to profoundly changing consumption and production patterns. Empowering citizens through enhanced consumer information about environmental footprints allows them to make informed decisions.

Access to open life-cycle data, including regional and country-specific data, and awareness of circular economies are pivotal for creating sustainable consciousness.

DKU, together with UNEP in the framework of the GO4SDG initiative, launched a series of webinars on sustainable lifestyles through the lenses of sustainable lifestyles, circular economy and ecological aspects thus, contributing to the 2030 Agenda and accelerating actions to combat climate change. The webinars are held within the project “Sustainable Lifestyles at the University of Central Asia”, which aims to introduce Sustainable Lifestyles (SL) at the universities of Central Asia and the Caucasus to reduce the use of natural resources through a "net zero living" behavior pattern.

The forthcoming second webinar, part of an ongoing series, will delve into the intricate facets of the circular economy within the specific context of Central Asia while also exploring its broader implications on a global scale.

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in discussions and insightful analyses of the key principles that underpin the circular economy model. The webinar will present innovative strategies, best practices, and success stories that exemplify how Central Asian countries and the world at large can actively contribute to, and benefit from a more sustainable and regenerative economic framework.
