Side-event at COP29 in Baku on new report launcehed - towards sustainable consumption
COP29: Towards sustainable consumption – the need for policies that work. Examples from the Nordic countries
14:30 - 15.15 at COP29 in Baku, 11.30 - 12.15 CET online
In rich countries, consumption-based GHG emissions are typically higher than territorial GHG emissions. Both types of emissions have decreased but too slow to be in line with international agreements. In this seminar a recent report from the Nordic Council of Ministers (Policy Options for Reducing Consumption-Based Emissions - A Nordic Survey) is presented. The report suggests efficient policies that address GHGs, other pollutants and also improve public health as well as environmental quality.
