The Green Action Fund is an annual award that promotes sustainable consumption across the globe through awareness-raising, training, and educational activities. This year, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, grantees are planning their campaigns in compliance with national and WHO guidance. Some campaigns will be conducted virtually, while others will focus on practices being replicated by households.
The 2020 Green Action Fund theme, Sharing Community, speaks directly to SDG 12 – Sustainable consumption and production patterns, and the importance of promoting a culture of sharing and collaboration within communities to reduce waste and improve resource efficiency. This year our members will be running 25 campaigns in 22 countries across four continents: twelve in Africa, eight in Asia-Pacific, three in Latin America, and two in the Middle East.
