Asia Pacific Low Carbon Lifestyles Challenge

United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Asia Pacific supports early stage start-ups that make sustainable goods and services more readily available. The high profile of marine litter, and climate change has sparked interest among consumers for better consumption choices. It needs sustainable products and services to be available to everyone. This is why it supports young entrepreneurs to develop innovative, scalable start-ups that enable circular economy through low carbon, low waste business models for Asian consumers.
