ForewordGaetano leoneCoordinator of the United Nations Environment Programme/Mediterranean Action Plan Secretariat to the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols The Mediterranean Region has been facing common environmental problems and challenges, mainly related to the way human activities have developed over the years, and the associated unsustainable patterns of production and consumption. Addressing these challenges requires the transition to a green, circular, low carbon and socially inclusive economy through the adoption of sustainable consumption and production patterns, thus decoupling development from environmental degradation and resource depletion.

Despite the priority given to sustainable production and consumption in the regional and national policy agendas of the Mediterranean region, varying challenges continue to hinder the shift towards more sustainable patterns of production and consumption. They are linked to a lack of appropriate legislative and regulatory frameworks and means of their implementation, to the need of effective economic instruments to support sustainable businesses and products on the market but also related to the necessity of increasing eco-innovation in products and services, awareness raising and education for sustainable lifestyle, as well as civil society empowerment.

Since its adoption, the Mediterranean Action Plan – Barcelona Convention has been pioneer among the UN Environment Regional Seas programmes in integrating Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in its regional strategic framework. This forefront position has been confirmed by the assignment of SCP mandate by the Contracting Parties to one of the Regional Activity Centres, the Regional Activity Centre for Sustainable Consumption and Production. Sustainable production and consumption has also been developed into a thematic pillar of the UN Environment/MAP Mid-Term Strategy 2016-2021 and as an overarching objective and cross-cutting theme of the Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development 2016-2025 (MSSD).

In the context of the recent developments in the global and regional processes, particularly after the Rio+20 Summit with the adoption of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns and the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the moment has come to strengthen UN Environment/MAP ’s role in facilitating the implementation of the Barcelona Convention, its Protocols and MSSD through concrete regional and national actions fostering the adoption of more sustainable patterns of consumption and production in key economic sectors for the Region (food, fisheries and agriculture, tourism, goods manufacturing as well as housing and construction).

The Sustainable Consumption And Production Action Plan for the Mediterranean was thus developed through an extended consultation process, and adopted by the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols at their 19th meeting in February 2016, as a forward-looking framework, to complement and work in full synergy with existing national and regional policy frameworks, and to support the implementation of the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols.

BACKGROUND

BackgroundSustainable Consumption and Production is achieved through the combined implementation of diverse actions, involving policy makers, businesses, retailers, academia, civil society and consumers in order to redesign the way in which goods and services are produced and consumed and to drive the revitalization of industrial and socio-economic development towards non-pollutant, no-waste, low-carbon, resource efficient, socially inclusive, green and circular economies.

The main mechanisms and stakeholders involved in this process are summarized in Figure 1.

The absence of a common regional action framework identifying sustainable consumption and production priorities and tools has contributed to the dispersion of the different actions undertaken to foster the shift towards sustainable consumption and production in the Mediterranean, with scarce coordination and communication between the different actors. The duplication of efforts, lack of synergies and insufficient dissemination and replication of the results and outputs obtained in the projects developed were some of the shortcomings.

With the Ecosystem Approach, the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention affirmed their commitment to apply the ecosystem-based approach to the management of the human activities as an integrated approach to enhance sustainable development in the region. They also agreed to identify sustainable consumption and production, together with ICZM and Climate Change, as main crosscutting approach, to address the main environmental challenges defined in the new MAP’s Mid-Term Strategy for the period 2016-2021. The Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development has also been designed as a framework strategy aiming at adapting international commitments to the regional conditions and guiding national sustainable development strategies. To do so, the shift to sustainable patterns of consumption and production was essential.

The elaboration of the SCP Action Plan for the Mediterranean was undertaken in a global and regional policy environment, taking into account ongoing and upcoming initiatives and activities for sustainable development in order to ensure the alignment of the Action Plan with global processes and the streamlining of implementation at the regional and national levels, with which it intends to create synergies and work complementarily. Among those initiatives, the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP), and the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development and in full synergy with the Union for the Mediterranean and the European Commission orientations and initiatives.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

1. Scope and focus of the Sustainable Consumption Production Action Plan: priority areas of Consumption and Production

The SCP Action Plan for the Mediterranean is aimed at supporting the implementation of sustainable consumption and production actions at the regional level to support sustainable consumption and production common objectives. It addresses key human activities which have a particular impact on the marine and coastal environment and related transversal and cross-cutting issues. It defines common objectives and identifies actions guiding the implementation of the sustainable consumption and production at the national level.

The SCP Action Plan for the Mediterranean aims at achieving as a first step the shift to sustainable patterns in four priority areas of consumption and production, namely Food, fisheries and agriculture; Goods manufacturing; Tourism and Housing and construction, according to:

1. Their relevance in the main framework of the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols2. Their contribution as mainstream drivers of pollution generation and environmental pressures

on the marine and coastal ecosystems; 3. Their contribution to the Mediterranean economies and to social well-being,

(i) Relevance of the priority areas for the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols

The food, fisheries and agriculture areas are listed as key sector of activity in Annex I of the lBS Protocol (fertilizer production, production and formulation of biocides, agriculture, animal husbandry, food processing, and aquaculture). Similarly, Annex I of the Hazardous Waste Protocol identifies as category of wastes subject to its measures the waste from the production, formulation and use of biocides and phytopharmaceuticals. Finally the Article 9 of ICZM Protocol identified Agriculture, Industry, Fishing and Aquaculture as key economic activities for which planning and management require an appropriate mix of regulatory, technical, economic, and market oriented measures.

The goods manufacturing consumption and production area embraces a number of sectors of activity listed in Annex I of the lBS Protocol, such as the paper and paper-pulp industry, the tanning industry, the metal industry, the textile industry, the electronic industry, organic chemical industry, inorganic chemical industry, mining, transport and the recycling industry. Furthermore several of the hazardous waste categories related to the production and consumption of goods are listed in Annex I of the Hazardous Waste Protocol which calls, among others, for appropriate measures to reduce to a minimum, and where possible eliminate, the generation of hazardous wastes.

Tourism is of utmost importance for the ICZM Protocol as most of the tourism activities are taking place in coastal areas. Article 9 identifies tourism, sporting and recreational activities as key economic activity in the framework of the Protocol. Annex I of the lBS Protocol also lists tourism and shipbuilding and repairing industry as sectors of activity to be primarily considered. Furthermore, sustainable tourism is of special relevance for achieving the sustainable use of coastal and marine areas of interest for the SPA/BD Protocol.

Finally, housing and construction activities are also targeted in Annex I of the lBS Protocol with focus on cement production, metal industry, mining, waste management industry, treatment and disposal of domestic wastewater, and transport. In addition, Annex IV of the LBS protocol defines Best Environmental Practices (including energy efficiency measures) that should be applied to the existing buildings as more than 80% of the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of that sector are related to the use phase (heating, lighting and appliances). likewise, this priority area is of upmost importance for ICZM Protocol as one of its objectives, under Article 5, is to facilitate, through the rational planning of activities, the sustainable development of coastal zones by ensuring that the environment and landscapes are taken into account in harmony with economic, social and cultural development. Finally the deconstruction of building entails the generation of hazardous waste to be carefully managed in the framework of the Hazardous Waste Protocol.

(ii) Impacts of the priority areas on coastal and marine environment

The four consumption and production priority areas are main upstream drivers of pollution generation and environmental pressures on the ecosystems in the Mediterranean.

Food, fisheries and agriculture - Current agriculture practices affect heavily natural resources, especially water and land resources, and exert great pressure on the local biodiversity. For instance, the nutrient load from intensive agriculture and/or large consumption of chemicals are linked to nutrient over-enrichment of the sea and the introduction of heavy metals, oils and POPs into the marine and coastal environment. The food processing industry is also characterized by high levels of freshwater and energy consumption, the production of wastewater with excessive organic load and contaminants and the generation of by-products and residues that end up polluting the coasts and the sea. Moreover, food distribution related to consumption habits impacts negatively on climate change, as globalized transport of food generates green-house gas emissions. As regards to fisheries, current consumption and production patterns have in many cases increased the pressure on fish stock, altering fish populations and destroying sensitive habitats while aquaculture still faces a number of important environmental challenges (degradation of the sea-floor, release of metabolic waste, chemical pollution, eutrophication etc.).

Goods manufacturing - The manufacturing of goods in a context of strong industrial growth is directly linked to the release of polluting substances in the air, soil and water, contributing to the chemical contamination and eutrophication of the Mediterranean Sea and coasts. It involves processes that are resource intensive (water, energy and raw materials) and are highly pollutant. Consumption habits and the treatment of goods in their end of life are the major source of marine litter with plastic amounting up to 83% of marine litter floating on the sea and deposited on shorelines. Yet, current consumption and production patterns tend to increase the rate in which people consume products which have shorter lifespan. Moreover, the globalized production and consumption of goods make the transportation operations very impacting, in terms of resource and energy consumption, as well as green-house gas emissions.

Tourism - The diversity and fragility of the coastal and marine ecosystems suffer greatly from tourism-related impacts. Coastal tourism induces a rise in the coastal population, which increases demand for resources such as water, food, energy and construction material, and also worsens waste and wastewater generation. It also contributes to coastal land consumption and coastal landscape degradation (destruction of natural

soil; deterioration of sensitive habitats - sand, dunes and wetlands -, and loss of fragile natural habitats). Tourists’ activities and behaviours (e.g. yachting, diving, recreational fishing) may also cause damage to habitats and species while the transport of passengers contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

Housing and construction - The urbanization rate in the Mediterranean coastal areas is expected to grow to 72% by 20252, increasing significantly the pressure in the environment. The extraction of raw material and production of construction material (cement, bricks, etc.) are directly associated with the deterioration of the natural landscape, with atmospheric emissions (dust, NOx, SO2, CO2, COV, etc.), as well as noise and vibrations. They involve considerable energy and water consumption and are responsible for huge wastewater and solid waste production. The growth in the coastal population increases demand for domestic water, food, energy and construction material, leading to further challenges in terms of atmospheric pollution and treatment and disposal of solid waste and effluent. Housing and construction is seen as the consumption and production area with high potential for delivering significant and cost-effective GHG emission reductions (UN Environment/SBCI, 2009).

(iii) Contribution of the priority areas to the Mediterranean economies and to social well-being

The four consumption and production priority areas are major socio-economic contributors in the Mediterranean region, namely in terms of employment and wealth generation. For instance, with regard to employment opportunities, Agriculture is one of the largest sources of jobs, and tourism is contributing an overall 13% of total employment in the Mediterranean economies. Regarding Mediterranean economies, while the manufacturing sector accounts for 20 to 33% GDP, the construction, renovation and maintenance of buildings sector contributes 10 to 40% global GDP.

The promotion of sustainable consumption and production patterns within the different consumption and production priority areas entails a number of benefits for the populations of the region, improving social well- being and quality of life in terms of health, employment, respect to local culture and traditions, valorisation of traditional practices, new jobs creation, etc. The transition of food systems towards more sustainable models such as the Mediterranean Diet offers a range of new economic and employment opportunities while it contributing to food and nutrition security and healthier lifestyles. Making tourism businesses more sustainable benefits local communities and can create stronger linkages with the local economy, increasing local development potential. Investments related to the integration of sustainable consumption and production patterns in production are shaped by key principles of social justice, social protection and decent job creation.

2. The transversal issuesWith the ‘life cycle thinking’ at its core, the sustainable consumption and production approach entails taking into account the environmental and social impacts a product or a service causes at each stage of its life cycle.

The above section shows how each selected consumption and production priority area has impacts on the environmental degradation. Some of these impacts can be seen as sustainability issues to address (e.g. energy efficiency, water management, waste reduction) or as important human activities to develop (e.g. water, waste and energy sectors). In this Action Plan, proposed actions under each priority area are designed in order to address these environmental degradation challenges, which are transversal in nature and scale, to all the above mentioned priority areas.

The transversal issues are: � land use; � Water efficiency; � Resource efficiency; � Energy efficiency; and � Pollution (generated by waste water, chemicals, solid waste, etc.). � Transportation & Mobility and � Consumer Behaviour.

For instance, “transportation and mobility’’ is centrally connected with agricultural production, produce transportation, and logistics for the provision of the food industry and outlets, and equally central to goods manufacturing operations, to tourism activities, as well as to the housing and construction sector operations. Accordingly, actions to integrate sustainable consumption and production in the consumption and production priority areas of this Action Plan are to have a direct impact in the sound management of the mentioned transversal issues.

Develop, in collaboration with planning, engineering and construction professional bodies, building and urban development codes for the provision of mix uses, compact urban development, space for pedestrians and cyclers, green roofs, as well as public space and green areas in residential areas for communal use, as means to promote social integration and cohesion, while at the same contributing to a clean, healthy, and productive environment;

40. Promote innovative planning and construction models leading to smart cities that secure sustainable housing easily accessible from and to work place, commercial, social, recreation and cultural services in order to reduce commuting, congestion, emissions, and air and noise pollution, as well as to reduce and separate waste from households and public administration buildings, retail buildings in order to develop model for PP buildings.

Operational objective 4.2. Develop and strengthen the regulatory and legal framework to enhance the contribution of the housing and construction sector to sustainable economic development, social integration and cohesion, and environmental integrity.

Suggested actions to achieve operational objective 4.2.41. Develop and encourage regulatory and incentive policies and measures that support:

� Sustainable coastal urban development and green construction throughout the entire planning and construction process and the life cycle of buildings, for the achievement of a more efficient use of natural resources and energy, and the protection of coastal and marine ecosystems;

� Sustainable practices in housing and construction through the use of local building materials, traditional knowledge, environmental friendly technologies and materials, sustainable and conscious purchasing practices, and sustainable waste management practices such as the recycling, recovery and reuse of construction-related waste, including demolition waste; and

� Proper maintenance and operational efficiency of the existing housing stock; � Develop specific tools/guidelines for assessment of buildings prior to demolition and

renovation with a view to optimal use of Construction and Demolition Waste.42. Promote sustainable public procurement (SPP) in the public housing and construction sector,

including subcontracting and services;43. Introduce efficient monitoring, enforcement and assessment systems that ensure compliance

with and adherence to sustainability principles in physical and urban planning and development (notably through implementing Sustainable Energy Action Plans); green and sustainable building regulations; codes of practice and standards; and the contribution of housing and construction to resource and energy efficiency, sustainable consumption and production, economic development, job creation, improved environment and human welfare.

Operational Objective 4.3. Sensitize and raise awareness of all stakeholders involved in urban planning, housing and construction, including consumers, professionals of the sectors and institutions and develop capacities for mainstreaming sustainable urban development.

Suggested actions to achieve operational objective 4.3.44. Provide an institutional setup that ensures public participation, involvement of relevant

stakeholders (including the private sector and civil society), transparency, accountability, collaboration and coordination between various government entities and between the public and private sector - through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) -, exchange of information on BATs and BEPs on sustainable physical and urban development, and green housing design and construction;

45. Prepare communication packages specifically targeting relevant stakeholders, including policy- and decision-makers, the general public, academia, Civil Society Organisations, businesses, builders and contractors, clearly identifying the benefits of adopting sustainable consumption and production patterns in green and sustainable housing design, construction, energy efficiency and sustainable urban planning;

46. Build capacities, educate and sensitize professionals, consumers, policy makers, and the public on concepts and tools that support the transition towards sustainable housing and construction, such as integrated assessment, life cycle assessment, green economy, and circular economy.

4. Actions applicable to all priority areasBeyond the operational objectives and specific actions of each of the four consumption and production priority areas, several actions apply to all priority areas:

47. Enable the policy and regulatory conditions for mainstreaming sustainable consumption and production in national development policies

48. Establish financial mechanisms facilitating the implementation of sustainable consumption and production solutions

49. Ensure the exchange of knowledge and information on sustainable consumption and production and the upscaling of successful sustainable consumption and production solutions

50. Create and develop new business models integrating sustainable consumption and production approach as business strategy

51. Promote the generation and upscaling of civil society led initiatives promoting sustainable consumption and production

5. Implementation and Monitoring mechanisms

Major stakeholders for the implementation of the Action PlanThe implementation of the Action Plan requires a concerted effort among various stakeholders at the national and regional levels. UN Environment/MAP, under the overall leadership of the Coordinating Unit, the technical direction by SCP/RAC and the collaboration of all MAP components, will ensure coordination for the delivery of regional actions in support of the countries’ effort, including through technical assistance and capacity building (roadmap for implementation). In this regard, SCP/RAC will play a central role in coordinating the delivery of the Action Plan’s regional activities.

The Contracting Parties will be responsible for effecting the proposed actions at the national and local levels, including through the set-up of enabling conditions to achieve the operational objectives of the Action Plan, along with policy coherence and promotion of synergies among national stakeholders, to avoid overlap with other sustainable consumption and production and green economy initiatives.

Moreover, the implementation of the Action Plan will be full and effective thanks to the active involvement of relevant national and international sustainable consumption and production stakeholders, which will have a central role in putting in place national sustainable consumption and production measures and instruments, as well as implementing them in the productive, service and consumption areas. These key stakeholders are:

� Policy-makers from all relevant ministries (planning, environment, industry, trade, economy, education, labour, social affairs), who set the regulatory institutional framework that incentivises the shift to sustainable consumption and production;

Back to Contents

23


� National, regional and local administrations, in charge of insuring the implementation of the strategies and making the necessary adaptations;

� Private sector, including local small, medium and big enterprises, multinationals, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, producers, retailers and sellers, for they are responsible of the production processes and bringing to market products and services, and hence are in a unique position to advance sustainable consumption and production in the region;

� Civil Society, including unions, NGOs, citizens-led initiatives, social economy associations, consumers groups for their key role in mainstreaming sustainable consumption habits and ensuring the different stakeholders meet their commitments;

� Schools, Academia and Research Institutions who have a major role in educating on sustainable consumption and production at all levels and in driving innovation in sustainable processes, products and services;

� Financial institutions who give the financial means that make possible the shift to sustainable consumption and production;

� Regional and international Organizations for their role in committing and bringing support to the different stakeholders, through the exchange of information and knowledge and building the capacities of all the above mentioned stakeholders, enabling them to play their role in the shift to sustainable consumption and production.

Budget and resourcesSubstantial funding partnership, beyond that of the UN Environment/MAP , is needed for the implementation of the Action Plan, regionally and nationally. The nature and scope of the proposed actions require mobilization of other financial resources than those from the traditional donors.

Effort will therefore be required at the regional and national levels to attract external funding from established sources/donors such as GEF, World Bank and EU, through regional organisation facilitating contacts with potential donors and fundraising (i.e. UfM Secretariat), as well as from other stakeholders having common agenda and shared interest in shifting towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production, namely: business organizations, international and local financial institutions. Particular attention should be given to this Action Plan in the MAP resource mobilisation strategy that will seek for funding sources required, identification of potential donor organisations, partners and country contributions. In particular, the strategy should identify those complementary aspects of the Roadmap that can be “bundled” into packages more attractive to funding sources.

The roadmap for implementation, appendix 1, provides estimates for the regional activities to be undertaken under each operational objective of the Action Plan. For each proposed action of the Action Plan, the Roadmap suggests regional activities along with their corresponding estimated cost, progress indicators, related flagship initiatives and key partners.

Support to implementationUN Environment/MAP in cooperation with relevant international and regional organisations shall prepare specific guidelines, taking into account appropriate existing guidelines, to support and facilitate the implementation of the actions proposed in the Action Plan that fall under the competences and scope of action of the Barcelona Convention. likewise technical assistance, transfer of knowhow and technology shall be provided, including capacity building, by the Secretariat to the Contracting Parties in need of assistance.

A special attention will be also put in insuring the alignment between the regional activities included in the Roadmap and the sustainable consumption and production national planning processes (e.g. Sustainable Development Strategies, National Green Economy Strategies, SCP National Action Plans).

The strategic partnership EU-UN Environment/MAP-UfM is crucial for the success in the implementation of the SCP Action Plan. In this context, the following EU funded initiatives in the Mediterranean region offer the appropriate collaborative mechanisms and platforms for a coordinated and synergetic execution of the regional actions proposed in the Action Plan’s roadmap:

� The complementary sustainable consumption and production initiatives SWTICH-Med Programme and Med RESCP Project; and

� The upcoming second phase of the Horizon 2020 initiative to de-pollute the Mediterranean, for the development of which the SCP Action Plan for the Mediterranean will constitute a strategic action-oriented document as sustainable consumption and production actions are essential for the prevention and for addressing the drivers of the industrial emissions

Furthermore, special attention should be drawn to the Mediterranean Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development (MSESD), which has been endorsed by the 43 Ministers of Environment of the UfM including the EU and the Mediterranean non-EU countries, on 13 May 2014. Activities related to education for sustainable consumption and production will feed both the implementation of the MSESD and the SCP Action Plan.

ReportingRecalling the Decision IG.21/7 approved by the Contracting Parties in their COP of Istanbul in which they acknowledged that the implementation of sustainable consumption and production tools are necessary for the implementation of Article 5.4 of the lBS, Article 9 of the ICZM Protocol and Article 5.2 of the Hazardous Waste Protocol, countries shall report on a biennial basis on the measures adopted to support the above actions, following the reporting obligations referred to by Article 26 of the Barcelona Convention, Article 13.2(d) of the lBS Protocol and Article 31 ICZM Protocol.

The reporting on the Action Plan implementation will build on the existing MAP reporting system under the Barcelona Convention and its protocols. To this effect a specific section on sustainable consumption and production measures will be integrated in the MAP reporting system.

Timeframe and evaluationThe timeframe for this Action Plan is the 1stjanuary 2016 to the 31stDecember 2027. Accordingly the Action Plan will be subject to a mid-term evaluation and a review, coinciding with the end of the corresponding MAP 6-year Mid Term Strategies for the periods 2016-2021 and 2022-2027, respectively. likewise, the activities of the Action Plan’s Roadmap for implementation will be reviewed and adjusted every two years in full integration and synergy with the MAP biennial Programme of Work. Furthermore, the evaluation criteria will consider whether synergies have been created with other relevant initiatives and regional frameworks addressing the shift towards sustainable patterns of consumption and production. Also, new emergent consumption and production areas will also be identified and assessed periodically in order to propose when needed their integration as Priority Areas in the action plan.

The evaluation will be done on the basis of the accomplishment of the strategic and operational objectives of the Action Plan, using appropriated indicators measuring progress on sustainable consumption and production mainstreaming and streamlining at the regional level. To this end, the definition of a set of regional indicators will be required and will build on existing sustainable consumption and production indicators frameworks ( UN Environment, OECD, EEA, etc.). In this regards, and as suggested during the Extraordinary Meeting of the SCP/RAC Focal Points (November 2014, Barcelona), a Technical Working Group on sustainable consumption and production Indicators for the Regional Action Plan will be put in place by the Contracting Parties. Its specific mandate will be subject of a proposal to be submitted for consideration and approval by the Contracting Parties; it should include the establishment of a baseline against which progress will be measured.

Communicating and advocating sustainable consumption and production: public awareness, visibility and stakeholders’ involvementA communication plan will be established on a 2-year basis and will detail the activities planned to communicate and disseminate the SCP Action Plan in order to reach and engage relevant stakeholders and their respective communication channels and platforms. Synergies with existing initiatives will be carefully considered.

UN Environment/MAP and SCP/RAC will take the lead in designing and delivering the communication plan, in close collaboration of the SCP/RAC National Focal Points. To this end, the Mediterranean HUB for knowledge exchange and networking on sustainable consumption and production and the SCP Social Action Network coordinated by SCP/RAC will be a strong mechanism to target policy-makers, start-ups and entrepreneurs, civil society organizations, industry service providers, big companies and impact investors. In addition, other actions will be undertaken to ensure the highest engagement of relevant sustainable consumption and production stakeholders.

Raising awareness among some key sustainable consumption and production stakeholders, such as the private sector, the Parliamentarians, the development agencies and the financial institutions, needs a specific approach for a targeted communication of sustainable consumption and production. Influencing them and ensuring their effective engagement for mainstreaming sustainable consumption and production in their decision-making require the involvement of committed key opinion leaders, experts in sustainable consumption and production, who can effectively communicate sustainable consumption and production and its benefits, promote engagement and nourish productive partnerships.

Accordingly setting a sort of enabling mechanisms through the establishment of an informal task force of implementation facilitators with experience and network in sustainable consumption and production areas and concerned stakeholders is crucial for the application of the Action Plan and the implementation of its Roadmap. Those implementation facilitators shall be tasked with the mission of reaching, lobbying and engaging key stakeholders from governments, businesses, financial agents, civil society and academia to participate actively and support the implementation of the actions and activities identified in the Action Plan and Roadmap. The “SCP task force” shall also ensure the coherence and alignment between the activities developed under the roadmap at the regional level and sustainable consumption and production national processes. The “SCP task force” will also provide SCP/RAC with the necessary support to properly take on the technical direction of the SCP Action Plan implementation. The mandate and mission of these facilitators will be subject of a proposal to be submitted to the attention of the Contracting Parties for their consideration and approval.

Appendix 2. Definition of TermsFor the purpose of this Action Plan:

A Circular Economy is an economy that balances economic development with environmental and resource

conservation. It puts emphasis on environmental protection and the most efficient use of and recycling

of resources. A Circular Economy features low consumption of energy, low emission of pollutants and

high efficiency. It involves applying Cleaner Production in companies, eco-industrial park development

and integrated resource-based planning for development in industry, agriculture and urban areas ( UN

Environment).

Cradle to Cradle promotes the principle that products can be designed from the outset so that, after their

useful lives, they will provide nourishment for something new. This could be either as a biological nutrient

that will easily re-enter the water or soil without depositing synthetic materials and toxins or as technical

nutrients that will continually circulate as pure and valuable material within a closed loop industrial cycle

(William McDonough & Michael Braungart).

Eco-design aims at reducing the environmental impact of products (including energy consumption)

throughout their entire life cycle (European Commission).

Eco-innovation provides a win-win solution to improving economic competitiveness and sustainability as it starts at the company strategy level and extends influence beyond the company gates to the supply chain. Eco-innovation aims at reducing impacts on the environment, enhancing resilience to environmental pressures, or achieving a more efficient and responsible use of natural resources. The growing market, reputational and regulatory pressures in response to rising resource scarcity and environmental degradation reinforce therefore the business case for eco-innovation ( UN Environment)

Eco-labelling is a voluntary method of environmental performance certification and labelling that is

practised around the world. An “ecolabel” is a label which identifies overall, proven environmental preference

of a product or service within a specific product/service category (Global Ecolabelling Network).

Ecological Footprint is a measure of how much biologically productive land and water an individual, population

or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates using

prevailing technology and resource management practices. The ecological footprint is usually measured in

global hectares (a common unit that encompasses the average productivity of all the biologically productive

land and sea area in the world in a given year). Because trade is global, an individual or country’s footprint

includes land or sea from all over the world (Global Footprint Network)

APPENDIx 2. DEFINITION OF TERMS

Electronic Waste / E-waste/ Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is a generic term

encompassing various forms of electrical and electronic equipment that are old, end-of-life appliances and

have ceased to be of any value to their owners. A practical definition of e-waste is “any electrically powered

appliance that fails to satisfy the current owner for its originally intended purpose” ( UN Environment/DTIE).

An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable an organization

to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency (United States Environmental

Protection Agency). The most widely used standard on which an EMS is based is International Organization

for Standardization (ISO) 14001, alternatives include the EMAS.

Extended Producer Responsibility means that the producers take responsibility for their products from

cradle to grave, and therefore, should develop products that have improved performance throughout all

stages of the product life cycle. At each stage of the life cycle, opportunities for improved performance exist

( UN Environment life Cycle Initiative).

Good Agricultural Practices are “practices that address environmental, economic and social sustainability

for on-farm processes, and result in safe and quality food and non-food agricultural products” (FAO COAG).

Goods are a commodity, or a physical, tangible item that satisfies some human want or need. Goods are

tangible objects, like bread or books, whereas services are intangibles, like TV broadcasting or teaching

(Business Dictionary).

Green building focuses on ecological aspects. It is designed, specified and constructed with energy and

water efficiency in mind, and minimising any adverse impact of the building on its inhabitants as well as

the environment (Global expert working group of the Marrakech Task Force on Sustainable Buildings and

Construction).

A Green entrepreneur (i) is a visionary who integrates environmental, economic and social axis in core

business; (ii) Provides innovative solutions to the way good and services are produced and consumed;

(iii) Proposes a business model whose scaling-up contributes to the transition towards green and circular

economies; (iv) Identifies challenges and market opportunities based on new citizens’ needs such as the

spreading of collaborative consumption model; (v) Facilitates a shift to sustainable consumption patterns

and lifestyles (SCP/RAC).

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) means the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques

and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations

and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize

risks to human health and the environment. IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least

possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms (FAO).

An integrated product policy is an approach that begins by asking how the environmental performance

of products can be improved most cost-effectively. It is founded on the consideration of the impacts of

products throughout their life-cycle, from the natural resources from which they come, through their use and

marketing, to their eventual disposal as waste. It is also a relatively new approach to environmental Policy

(EEA).

A Life cycle approach reflects the incorporation of life cycle thinking Approach/ in decision-making or

development processes.

TheLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool to evaluate the environmental Assessment and social performance

of products or services along their life (lCA) cycle.

Life cycle management (LCM)is a product management system aimed at minimising the environmental and

socio-economic burdens associated with an organisation’s product or product portfolio during its entire life

cycle and value chain. lCM supports the business assimilation of product policies adopted by governments.

This is done by making life cycle approaches operational and through the continuous improvement of

product systems (UN Environment/SETAC life Cycle Initiative).

Life cycle thinking expands the traditional focus on the production site and manufacturing processes and

incorporates various aspects over a product’s entire life cycle from cradle to cradle (i.e. from the extraction of

resources, through the manufacture and use of the product, to the final processing of the disposed product)

( UN Environment/SETAC life Cycle Initiative).

Market-based instruments seek to address the market failure of “environmental externalities” either

by incorporating the external cost of production or consumption activities through taxes or charges on

processes or products, or by creating property rights and facilitating the establishment of a proxy market for

the use of environmental services (OECD).

Material Flow Analysis (MFA): in order to function, the global economy depends on a flow of materials

that are extracted from the earth, processed via production and consumption processes to meet human

needs, and then disbursed as wastes generated by the extraction, production and consumption processes.

The most important materials extracted for use are biomass, fossil fuels, ores, industrial minerals and

construction minerals. These material flows, which are referred to as the metabolic rate, are measured

in tonnes per capita or per unit of GDP (tonnes/$1 billion of GDP). Material Flow Analysis (MFA) is the

methodology or accounting framework that has emerged to calculate these material flows (International

Panel on Sustainable Resource Management United Nations).

Mediterranean diet: Inscribed in 2013 (8.COM) on the Representative list of the Intangible Cultural

Heritage of Humanity, it involves a set of skills, knowledge, rituals, symbols and traditions concerning crops,

harvesting, fishing, animal husbandry, conservation, processing, cooking, and particularly the sharing and

consumption of food. Eating together is the foundation of the cultural identity and continuity of communities

throughout the Mediterranean basin. It is a moment of social exchange and communication, an affirmation

and renewal of family, group or community identity. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes values of hospitality,

neighbourliness, intercultural dialogue and creativity, and a way of life guided by respect for diversity. It plays

a vital role in cultural spaces, festivals and celebrations, bringing together people of all ages, conditions and

social classes. It includes the craftsmanship and production of traditional receptacles for the transport,

preservation and consumption of food, including ceramic plates and glasses. Women play an important

role in transmitting knowledge of the Mediterranean diet: they safeguard its techniques, respect seasonal

rhythms and festive events, and transmit the values of the element to new generations. Markets also play

a key role as spaces for cultivating and transmitting the Mediterranean diet during the daily practice of

exchange, agreement and mutual respect. (UNESCO)

Planned obsolescence is a business strategy in which the obsolescence (the process of becoming obsolete—

that is, unfashionable or no longer usable) of a product is planned and built into it from its conception.

This is done so that in future the consumer feels a need to purchase new products and services that the

manufacturer brings out as replacements for the old ones (The Economist).

Products, also called “goods and services”, are the result of production. They are exchanged and used for

various purposes: as inputs in the production of other goods and services, for final consumption or for

investment (Encyclopaedia of the Earth).

A Product-Service System (Servicizing) can be defined as the result of an innovation strategy, shifting

the business focus from designing and selling physical products only, to selling a system of products and

services which are jointly capable of fulfilling specific client demands ( UN Environment/DTIE).

Resource efficiency is about ensuring that natural resources are produced, processed, and consumed

in a more sustainable way, reducing the environmental impact from the consumption and production of

products over their full life cycles. By producing more wellbeing with less material consumption, resource

efficiency enhances the means to meet human needs while respecting the ecological carrying capacity of

the earth ( UN Environment/DTIE).

A Retailer is anything and anybody that sells individual units or small quantities directly to the end-user for

their personal use and consumption is a retailer. The sector also includes manufacturers who sell directly to

end-customers via retail outlets (often franchised, like car manufacturers), and other channels such as mail

order, TV channel shopping, or via the internet. Due to its unique position linking production (manufacturers/

suppliers) and consumption (customers) aspects, the retail sector plays a key role in facilitating the shift

towards sustainable consumption and production. Upstream, retailers can define environmentally oriented

purchasing requirements to their suppliers. Downstream, they can educate consumers about sustainability

issues. In addition to providing information on products produced in a sustainable manner, retailers are also

well positioned to provide information on improving life-cycle impacts, for instance respecting the use-phase

and end-of-life disposal of products. Moreover, this sector is a major driver for the global economy and

employment ( UN Environment/DTIE).

Social innovations are innovations that are social in both their ends and their means – new ideas (products,

services and models) that simultaneously meet social needs (more effectively than alternatives) and create

new social relationships or collaborations. They are innovations that are not only good for society but also

enhance society’s capacity to act. Social innovations take place across boundaries between the public

sector, the private sector, the third sector and the household (European Commission).

Sustainability driven innovation: ‘the creation of new market space, products and services or processes

driven by social, environmental or sustainability issues’ (Arthur D. little, 2004). As with general innovation,

there is an emerging recognition that sustainable innovation is not just about new concepts but is about

commercialisation of technologies, products and services and about entrepreneurship. It can also be

about the adoption of new processes and systems at societal level. Sustainable innovation is a process

where sustainability considerations (environmental, social, financial) are integrated into company systems

from idea generation through to research and development (R&D) and commercialisation. This applies to

products, services and technologies, as well as new business and organisation models (Charter, 2007).

Sustainable agriculture ensures that the basic nutritional requirements of present and future generations

are met, while providing a range of economic, social and environmental benefits. It provides durable

employment, sufficient income, and decent living and working conditions for all those engaged in agricultural

production. It maintains and, where possible, enhances the productive capacity of the natural resource base

as a whole, and the regenerative capacity of renewable resources, without disrupting the functioning of

basic ecological cycles and natural balances, destroying the socio-cultural attributes of rural communities,

or causing contamination of the environment (FAO).

Sustainable Buildings and Construction, the concept refers to the Buildings and sustainability performance

of buildings along their entire life cycle, Construction including design, materials production, transport,

construction, use and maintenance, renovation, deconstruction and recycling. The concept seeks to optimise

the performance and reduce negative impacts with regard to use of materials, energy, water and land, as

well as to indoor air quality and comfort, and generation of waste, wastewater and air emissions, including

greenhouse gases, particulates and other pollutants. The concept applies to new and existing buildings

regardless of their location ( UN Environment/DTIE).

A Sustainable product is a product that incorporates environmental and social factors and minimises

its impact throughout the life cycle, throughout the supply chain and with respect to the socio-economic

surroundings ( UN Environment/Wuppertal Institute Collaborating Centre on sustainable consumption and

production).

Sustainable Procurement is a process whereby public and private organizations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organization, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimizing damage to the environment.

Sustainable Procurement seeks to achieve the appropriate balance between the three pillars of sustainable development i.e. economic, social and environmental (adapted from UK Sustainable Procurement Task Force).

Sustainable tourism (i) makes optimal use of environmental resources that constitute, a key element in tourism development, maintaining essential ecological processes and helping to conserve natural heritage and biodiversity; (ii) Respects the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, conserves their built and living cultural heritage and traditional values and contributes to inter-cultural understanding and tolerance; (iii) Ensures viable, long-term economic operations, providing socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders that are fairly distributed. These include stable employment and income-earning opportunities, social services to host communities, and contributing to poverty alleviation (United Nations World Tourism Organisation)

Tourism Carrying Capacity is defined as the maximum number of people that may visit a tourist destination at the same time, without causing destruction of the physical, economic, socio-cultural environment and an unacceptable decrease in the quality of visitors’ satisfaction (World Tourism Organisation)
