The document summarizes the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP) adopted at the Rio+20 Conference. The 10YFP aims to accelerate the global shift towards sustainable consumption and production through a framework of programs, capacity building initiatives, and technical and financial support for developing countries. It will be implemented through a secretariat hosted by UNEP, a board, national focal points, and programs focused on priority issue areas like sustainable public procurement and tourism. The 10YFP seeks to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation and contribute to poverty eradication through sustainable consumption and production.

  THE  10  YEAR  FRAMEWORK  OF  PROGRAMMES  ON   SUSTAINABLE  CONSUMPTION  AND  PRODUCTION   RIO+20  ADOPTS  THE  10YFP     The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) reaffirmed that promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and production is one of the three overarching objectives of, and essential requirements for sustainable development. Furthermore at Rio+20, Heads of State strengthened their commitment to accelerate the shift towards SCP patterns with the adoption of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP), in paragraph 226 of the Outcome Document “The Future we Want”. The 10YFP is a concrete and operational outcome of Rio+20. It responds to the 2002 Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, and builds on the eight years work and experience of the Marrakech Process – a bottom-up multi-stakeholder process, launched in 2003 with strong and active involvement from all regions. It identified global and regional SCP needs and priorities, and supported the development of regional SCP strategies and implementation of 33 demonstration projects worldwide. The 10YFP will also build on the work of national cleaner production centres and other SCP best practices engaging a wide range of SCP stakeholders. The A/CONF.216/5 adopted document provides the vision, goals and values of the 10YFP as well as its functions, organisational structure, means of implementation, criteria for programmes design and an initial, non-exhaustive list of five programmes. UNEP has been requested to serve as the 10YFP Secretariat and to establish and administer a Trust Fund to support SCP implementation in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The UN General Assembly, at its 67th session (UNGA67), nominated ECOSOC as the interim reporting body and decided to establish a 10-member board consisting of two members of each UN regional group. WHAT  IS  THE  10YFP?     It is a global framework of action to enhance international cooperation to accelerate the shift towards SCP in both developed and developing countries. The framework will support capacity building, and facilitate access to technical and financial assistance for developing countries for this shift. The 10YFP will develop, replicate and scale up SCP and resource efficiency initiatives, at national and regional levels, decoupling environmental degradation and resource use from economic growth, and thus increase the net contribution of economic activities to poverty eradication and social development. The framework will encourage innovation and cooperation among all stakeholders. All actors from all countries can be involved in the implementation of the 10YFP activities: government, private sector, civil society, researchers, UN agencies, financial institutions, and other major groups. “ Fundamental changes in the way societies produce and consume are indispensable for achieving global sustainable development. All countries should promote sustainable consumption and production patterns, with the developed countries taking the lead and with all countries benefiting from the process, taking into account the Rio principles...” A/CONF.216/5
      The  10  Year  Framework  of  Programmes  on   Sustainable  Consumption  and  Production     Feb.  2013   2   MAIN  OBJECTIVES     • Support regional and national policies and initiatives to accelerate the shift towards SCP, contributing to resource efficiency and decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation and resource use, while creating new job/market opportunities and contributing to poverty eradication and social development. • Mainstream SCP into sustainable development policies, programmes and strategies, as appropriate, including into poverty reduction strategies. • Provide financial and technical assistance and capacity building to developing countries, supporting the implementation of SCP activities at the regional and national levels. • Enable all stakeholders to share information and knowledge on SCP tools, initiatives and best practices, raising awareness and enhancing cooperation and development of new partnerships – including public-private partnerships. ORGANIZATIONAL  STRUCTURE   The 10YFP includes: a Secretariat, a UN Interagency Coordination Group, a small Board, National and Stakeholders Focal Points, and a Member State Body to receive reports. a) Secretariat: hosted by UNEP to fulfil the following functions: i) cooperate closely with and respond to Member States; ii) collaborate with all relevant United Nations bodies; iii) foster the active participation of key stakeholders; iv) contribute to the fulfilment of the functions of the 10YFP; v) maintain a current list of active programmes and initiatives under the 10YFP; vi) organize and service relevant meetings on the 10YFP; vii) prepare reports; viii) report biennially to ECOSOC (as ad interim reporting body) on the activities and financial performance of the Trust Fund. b) UN Interagency Coordination Group: to ensure UN cooperation in the implementation of the 10YFP identifying synergies and joint projects, and engaging the UN agencies in relevant 10YFP activities (e.g. programmes, research, trainings, national implementation). c) Small Board: UNGA67 has decided to establish a 10-member board consisting of two members from each UN regional group. It will have the following functions: i) promoting the 10YFP; ii) guiding the secretariat; iii) assisting in securing funding, including contributions to the Trust Fund; iv) overseeing the secretariat’s operation of the trust fund and ensuring neutrality, transparency and accountability; v) review annual progress reports by secretariat on programmes; vi) reporting progress annually to ECOSOC (as ad interim reporting body); vii) convening international and regional meetings; viii) guiding preparations for the five-year review of the 10- year Framework of Programmes, ix) inviting representatives of UN bodies and major groups to participate in its deliberations;. d) National and Stakeholders Focal Points: National focal points will be nominated by member states with the objective of ensuring contact and coordination with the Board and the Secretariat and to support the 10YFP implementation. Other stakeholders are also invited to nominate focal points with the same objective. e) Member State body to receive reports: The UNGA67 has nominated ECOSOC as the ad interim Member State body, to receive reports from the 10YFP Secretariat and Board. The UNGA68 will review this interim arrangement.

Another implementation mechanism will be the Global SCP Clearinghouse and will serve as the information platform. • Trust Fund: its main objectives are to receive and mobilize resources in a stable, sustained and predictable manner to develop and support SCP programmes in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, mainly providing seed money for capacity building activities delivered through its programmes. The Trust Fund will not be the sole source of funding for the 10YFP, which will attract funding from a range of bilateral and multilateral sources. • The Global SCP Clearinghouse (www.start.scpclearinghouse.org): it will serve as the one-stop hub bringing together the SCP community worldwide through a harmonized and dynamic information and knowledge platform aimed at triggering more innovation and cooperation on SCP.
      The  10  Year  Framework  of  Programmes  on   Sustainable  Consumption  and  Production     Feb.  2013   4   10YFP  PROGRAMMES Programmes are at the core of the framework. They will contribute to further promoting and implementing SCP, bringing together existing initiatives and partnerships working in similar areas, building synergies and cooperation between stakeholders to leverage resources towards mutual objectives and minimizing duplication of ongoing efforts. The programmes will contribute to meeting the goals and principles of the 10YFP responding to national and regional needs, priorities and circumstances. They will encourage the involvement of governments, business, civil society and all relevant stakeholders. The programmes will use a mix of policy instruments and set clear objective, activities and indicators of success. The 10YFP adopted text includes an indicative and open list of programmes, which builds primarily on the experience gained through the Marrakech Process, including its Task Forces and regional SCP roundtables and strategies. The five initial programmes are: i) consumer information; ii) sustainable lifestyles and education; iii) sustainable public procurement (SPP); iv) sustainable buildings and construction; and v) sustainable tourism, including ecotourism. There is the possibility to build additional programmes, should countries demand them (e.g. agri-food, CSR, waste). HOW  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  THE  10YFP?       Governments, business, consumer organizations, environmental NGOs, and all stakeholders can participate in the 10YFP by: ü Implementing SCP initiatives at the national and/or regional levels ü Identifying national and stakeholder focal points and support national and regional SCP information networks ü Participating and sharing expertise at national, regional and international meetings ü Engaging in regional and sub-regional initiatives (e.g. SCP roundtables in Africa, Asia and the Pacific and the Arab Region, LAC regional expert council on SCP, ASEAN Forum, SWITCH, Green Growth, Partnership for SCP in Africa, etc.) ü Supporting the work of the future 10YFP thematic programmes, by leading and/or supporting some of the work areas or activities ü Showcasing the economic, social and environmental added value of SCP ü Developing proposals for new public-private partnerships and more cooperation building synergies ü Supporting project implementation and awareness raising and capacity building activities ü Participating actively in the Global SCP Clearinghouse.
