Implementing Sustainable Consumption and Production Policies

North-south, South-south and East-west Partnerships - Informal Expert Meeting

Format *
This report presents the chair’s summary from an informal expert workshop on “Implementing Sustainable Consumption and Production Policies”, held in Paris, France in May 2002. There were two key messages that emerged from these discussions: sustainable consumption and production is needed to improve quality of life for those in need, and provide the basic needs for all, including access to food, shelter, health and education services; decouple economic growth from environmental degradation to secure development while maintaining the carrying capacity of eco-systems. This publication discusses the two key messages and also lays out the five main points for action and proposals for next steps. The participants of this meeting have expressed their hope that their contributions will enrich discussions and contribute to the emergence of a strong and common political will at the World Summit on Sustainable Development.
