3. Sustainable Consumption and Production

4. Why SCP? Resource Challenges for Asia & the Pacific • UNEP’s GEO-6 Report: Regional Assessment for Asia & the Pacific (2016) indicated that the region’s material consumption accountedfor more than 50 percent of global consumption in 2015. • Further, UNEP (2011) confirmed that material resource consumption would increase 3 times in 2050 compared to 2005 in Asia-Pacific region. • Even if resource and energy efficiency increase by 50%, resource consumption continues to expand with supply demands. • Therefore, developing economies need to increase its resource efficiencyon the one hand; developed economies need to shift policy and investment for systems innovation towards decreasing resource consumption.

8. History of SCP EVOLVING CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

9. 10 Year Framework of Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP) • Background • Prepared since 2002, adopted at Rio+20 • Objectives • Supporting policies and initiatives; Capacity building; Knowledge Sharing • 6 Programmes • Sustainable Public Procurement • Consumer Information • Sustainable Tourism including Ecotourism • Sustainable Lifestyles and Education (co-led by MOEJ, Sweden, WWF) • Sustainable Building and Construction • Sustainable Food Systems

17. Case Studies

18. Case Study: Kitakyushu City, Japan

19. Case Study: SCP Policies at the National Level Supporting bilateral collaboration between MOEJ and Malaysia “Collaborative Project for the Development of National Strategic Plan for Food Waste Management in Malaysia” Agreement for the collaborative project MOEJ, Japan JPSPN, MHLG, Malaysia Commissioned (FY2010) Supporting institutions ・JGPSSI ・PPSPPA ・PEMANDU ・Municipalities ・Universities etc. Collaborative partner National Coordinator IGES partly re-commissioned (FY2010) <Project Contents> • 1. Legal framework • Develop the food waste management regulation • 3. Scaling-up and expansion of successful cases • Composting pilot projects at local levels (municipalities, universities, etc.) • 2. Large-scale organic waste treatment plant (financed by Malaysian government) • Analyze cost-sharing mechanism

20. Case Study: Ban Soon Heng SDN BHD (BSH), SWITCH-Asia • Private Malaysian company that develops, manufactures and sells clay pipes used in sewerage and drainage, installed in sewerage systems nationwide • Participated in Carbon Footprint Pilot Programme (March – Dec 2014) under Malaysia’s Sustainable Building Materials Programme • Partnership between SIRIM Berhad, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, Building Materials Distributors Association of Malaysia, Malaysian Green Building Confederation, and Carbon Trust Before After Source: http://www.switch-asia.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/Publications/2015/Final_SCREEN_files.pdf

21. Challenges and Opportunities

22. Priority challenges for SCP policy/SDG 12 Government capacity and interagency collaboration is key • Need to emphasise resource efficiency and circulation as a high priority in national developmental strategies • Robust partnerships between relevant stakeholders are crucial from initial planning stages to the review of various policies and strategies • Cooperation and coordination among line-ministries is key for mainstreaming resource circulation and SCP policies Industrial infrastructure and technology transfer • Linking development of legislation and systematic development of industrial sector (facilities and technologies) for waste treatment and recycling of collected recyclables Well-organised recycling market • Recycling mechanisms that use economic instruments such as EPR for specific end-of-life products would help shift from informal dirty recycling to a well-organised market with stable job opportunities.
