The challenge we face

A global challenge

Annual extraction of construction materials grew by a factor of 34, ores and minerals by a factor of 27, fossil fuels by a factor of 12,

biomass by a factor of 3.6

During the 20th century, world population grew by a factor 3.7,

total material extraction grew by a factor of 8 and GHG emissions

grew by a factor of 13

Producing and consuming sustainably is central to sustainable, circular and inclusive economies, addressing resource scarcity

concerns, environmental impacts, and pollution while reducing economic and social costs associated with those impacts.

Sustainable Consumption and Production?

• Improving quality of life without increasingenvironmental degradation or compromising the resource needs of future generations

• Decoupling economic growth from environmentaldegradation

• Applying system approaches such as life-cycle thinking which considers the impacts at all stages of the production and consumption process

• Guarding against the re-bound effect, wherebyefficiency gains are cancelled out by resultingincreasing consumption

Key notions: Decoupling

Key notions: Life-cycle

A mandate to takeaction

A global framework adopted by Heads of State at Rio+20 for a international cooperation to shift towards sustainable consumption and production (SCP)

patterns in developed and developing countries.

A Global Mandate for SCP

An implementation mechanism for the SDGs (Goal 12) and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Agenda 21, Rio de Janeiro, 1992

Johannesburg Plan of Implementation

(JPOI), 2002

Marrakech Process, 2003-11

Rio +20, 2012

“The major cause of the continued deterioration of the global environment are the unsustainable patterns of consumption and production…”

“SCP is one of the overarching objectives of, and essential requirements for, sustainable development.”

“Encourage and promote the development of a 10-year framework of programmes (10YFP) ..to.. shift towards SCP patterns….” (JPOI, 2002)

A/CONF.216/5 (paragraph 226 – “The Future We

Want”). 10YFP adopted2030

Agenda & SDGs

Transforming our world2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

We envisage a world in which every country enjoys sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and decent work for all. A world in which consumption and production patterns and use of all natural resources –

from air to land, from rivers, lakes and aquifers to oceans and seas - are sustainable

(Preamble)

Goal 12Ensure sustainable consumption and

production patterns

12.1 Implement the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and

production, all countries taking action, with developed countries taking the lead, taking

into account the development and capabilities of developing countries

Objectives of the 10YFP

Accelerate the shift towards SCP in all countries by supporting regional and national policies and initiatives

Increase RE and decouple economic growth from

environmental degradation, creating decent jobs and

contributing to poverty eradication and shared

prosperity

Support capacity-building and facilitate access to financial and technical assistance for developing countries, to implement SCP activities at all levels

Serve as an information and

knowledge sharingplatform on SCP to

enable all stakeholders to exchange policies, tools,

initiatives and best practices, enhancing cooperation

10YFP programmes serve as open, inclusive and collaborativeplatforms and accelerators: ideas, expertise, and resources todeliver SCP on an operational, concrete, and increasing scale atregional and national levels.

Building synergies and cooperation, bringing together existing initiatives and partners, leveraging resources towards common objectives;

Scaling up and replicating successful policies and best practices for SCP, responding to national and regional needs, priorities and circumstances;

Generating and supporting new projects and activities on SCP, expanding partnerships and and scope and reach of SCP initiatives and policies.

Towards collective impact

79,44 million USD = amount of financial resources made available in support to the shift to SCP (tentative*)

32,533 = person days of training

513 = number of outreach and communication activities conducted by 10YFP partners

253 = number of governments and other organisations making progress on policy instruments integrating SCP objectives

!!! Not an exhaustive overview and includes policies that may no longer be in place

Monitoring national SCP policies

Virtually all national governments now recognise SCP as a policy objective: SCP is no longer seen as a niche but increasingly recognised as a cornerstone of environmental and development strategies.

Many governments take a broad view on SCP and use it as an overarching approach, including to fight poverty, create jobs, and protect livelihoods.

Ministries of Environment most often have the lead, but there is a high level of involvement of other ministries

Institutional challenges that governments are facing:• Leadership – where the responsibility for SCP strategy making and coordination should

be placed within the government • Mainstreaming and coherence – how policies of various ministries with diverse or

conflicting mandates can be aligned with SCP objectives• Focus areas and policy entry-points – what economic sectors, specific issues, and

actor groups can help engage with complex systems of consumption and production
