The SwitchMed initiative, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNIDO, UNEP, and MedWaves, was launched in 2013 to promote sustainable consumption and production in the Southern Mediterranean. It focuses on circular economy approaches to decouple human development from environmental degradation.
