A UNEP workshop on Sustainable
Consumption and Production and the Green Economy was organized
on 18-19 March in Paris, with the following objectives:
-
Explore current understanding
of the concepts of "Sustainable Consumption and Production
(SCP)" and "Green Economy", as well as related
concepts such as "Green Growth"
-
Identify linkages and potential
synergies between relevant activities of UNEP and others on
SCP and the Green Economy (GE)
-
Provide input to a draft paper
on developing synergies and complementarities between activities
and policies designed to promote SCP and build green economies
-
Inform the development of
the 10 Year Framework of Programmes on SCP to be reviewed
at CSD 19 and contribute to preparations for the Rio + 20
Summit, where "Green Economy in the context of sustainable
development and poverty eradication" is a core focus
area
A background paper was prepared for the
meeting and will be revised on the basis of the outcomes from
the workshop and any written comments that UNEP receives on that
paper. This workshop and the preparation of the background paper
was made possible by financial support from the Ministry of Ecology,
Energy, Sustainable Development and the Sea (MEEDDM) of France.
