This thematic webinar aims at exploring strategies to achieve these targets by focusing on consumer behavior change through targeted interventions in the retail and the hospitality sectors.
This event is framed with the Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs) initiative, which has established and animated the Asia Pacific Food Waste Regional Working Group since 2021, providing training on food waste measurement and national baseline setting, capacity building on key food waste reduction approaches, while facilitating South-South collaboration within regions, through a series of workshops and one-to-one support.
After framing the topic of food waste, by presenting the main findings of the UNEP Food Waste Index report 2024, innovative practices from the region will be showcased to inspire actions and reflect on the enabling conditions. Special focus will be given to consumer behavior change, highlighting the importance of context-based and tailored messaging, to inspire sustainable lifestyles.
The webinar will foster discussion on ways to engage with and advance the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW), as it marks its fifth observance on 29th September 2024, offering key opportunities for meaningful participation.
