Sustainable consumption and production (SCP) focuses on using resources efficiently and responsibly, reducing waste, and promoting products and services that have minimal environmental impacts.

In Nigeria, rapid urbanization and industrial growth have led to increased resource consumption and waste generation, posing significant challenges to sustainability. However, adopting SCP practices can mitigate these issues, fostering a balance between economic development and environmental conservation.

The Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF) plays a pivotal role in advancing SCP in Nigeria. We are dedicated to promoting sustainable development through community-based initiatives and advocacy. CADEF’s programs often focus on waste management, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy, providing the necessary tools and knowledge for communities to reduce their environmental footprint and improve their quality of life.

One of CADEF’s significant contributions to SCP in Nigeria is its emphasis on capacity building and public awareness. Through workshops, training sessions, and community outreach programs, CADEF fosters a culture of sustainability. By partnering with local governments, businesses, and other stakeholders, CADEF ensures that sustainable practices are not only adopted but also maintained.
