The SWITCH Asia programme was developed to support Asian countries adopting more sustainable growth patterns so as to minimize the use of natural resources and the emissions of greenhouse gases, waste and other pollutants. The objective of the SWITCH Asia programme is to promote sustainable consumption and production (SCP) among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Asia by moving SCP practices from demonstration to replication.
