  1. A presentation by Florian Peter Iwinjak UNIDO Brussels From words to action Green Industry and Resource Efficiency

  2. Outline • Thoughts • Common principles and objectives • Words • Green economy and policy • Actions • Green industry • Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production • Example: NCPC Cuba • Actions in the OECS

  3. THoughts

  4. What we start to realize… Global Region Nation Group

  5. Common principles and objectives • Global: UNCED Rio 1992, Kyoto 1997, etc. • Regional: Barbados Plan for action • National: SCP national strategies • Group: Agenda 21 • Individual: Lifestyle and consumption pattern • Common objectives: • Respect for earth’s carrying capacity • Sustainable production and consumption • First relative and the absolute decoupling • Low carbon society

  6. Evolution of sustainable manufacturing concepts and practices Source: OECD 2010

  7. Words

  8. Industry as part of the solution • Main challenges today: • Poverty reduction • Wealth and job creation • Climate change • Parts of the solution: • Inclusiveness • Competitiveness • Greening

  9. Green Economy Green Economy(UNEP, DESA) Macro-level(policy/strategy) Green Jobs(ILO) Green Growth (ESCAP, G20, OECD) Green Industry(UNIDO) Sustainable Consumption and Production Micro-level(operational/solutions) Green Industry is the strategy for realizationof Green Growth – Green Economy – Green Jobs in manufacturing and related sectors

  10. Policy Framework for Green Industry • Integrated framework • Creating an enabling environment • Industry-led initiatives • Harnessing environmental technologies • Instrument mix

  11. Instrument Mix

  12. Action

  13. UNIDO Green Industry Themes Enabling Green Industry Framework Policy and Strategy Financial Instruments TechnologyDevelopment, Adaptation & Deployment Capacity Building Greening of Industries Creating Green Industries Resource Productivity (materials, water & energy) Pollution Prevention (waste & emissions Renewable and Efficient Energy Materials Recovery(3Rs) ResourceEfficient & Cleaner Production Environmental Services Responsible Chemicals’ Solutions Pollution Control (POPs, E-waste,

  14. Benefits for sustainable development • Economic dynamic • Increased competitiveness and Production efficiency • Cleantech is one of the fastest growing global sectors • Human development dimension • Direct jobs and indirect jobs created • Enhanced skills base & improved working conditions • Environmental protection • Minimization of the impact on nature by enterprises • Contribution to low carbon society and footprint

  15. National Cleaner Production Centres • Int. programme launched in 1994 as a follow-up to Rio • 47 NCPCs established worldwide • Technical tools & training manuals produced • thousands national & industrial experts trained • Regional roundtables, networks of NCPCs and related initiatives

  16. National Cleaner Production Centres Mission: to reinforce CP concepts, methods, practices and policies Start off as a project by host institution, transition into nationally owned entities Five common service areas Awareness building and information dissemination Professional training In plant assessments/technical assistance Policy advice Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies 2010: Resource Efficient Cleaner Production RECP Network for best practice sharing 16

  17. RECP for Climate Action

  18. Cuba National Cleaner Production Network • Established in 2001 with UNIDO support • Mission to foster implementation of Cleaner Production in Cuba • Operates with five focal points each coordinating sector specific initiatives • Center for Environmental Information, Management and Education, part of Environmental Agency (CIGEA-AMA), • Institute for Research of Sugar Cane Derivates (ICIDCA) • Institute for Research on Food Industry (IIIA), • Research Institute of Tropical Fruits (IIFT) • Center for Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology (CIGB)

  19. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management: Havana, Cuba • Results • Reduction by 38% of waste going to landfill • Landfill improved to contain leachate • First national waste analysis laboratory established • Production of compost, used in agriculture • Biogas plant built and used to generate electricity for 150 households • Trained > 1100 experts • Created > 40 jobs

  20. Efficient Water Management Demonstration Projects: Edible oil & sugar cane industry • Edible oil industry • Avoidance of 70 t of caustic soda/ year. • Reduction of the pollution load discharged to Havana Bay, in 12 t DQO/ year • Avoidance of 25,000 t of CO2 emissions. • Sugar Cane industry • Saving of 1,100,000 m3 of water in a 100 days campaign, with a value of US$ 55,000. • Water consumption index reduced from 5 m3/t to 0.78 m3/t of sugar cane. • Manual for water management in food industry and TV series on cleaner production

  21. UNIDO activities in Eastern Caribbean • Competitiveness and innovation • Regional programme designed for Cariforum • Renewable energy • Global Sustainable Energy Islands Initiative (GSEII) • Caribbean Solar financing programme (CSFP): Granada • Smaller ongoing activities • HCFC phase-out management plan: St. Lucia and St. Vincent and Grenadines

  22. Potential opportunities in OECS • Joining Green Industry Initiative and becoming part of RECP Programme • Capacity building and demonstration projects • Waste Reduction, Reuse and Recovery (3R) • Renewable Energy e.g. solar, wind, geothermal • Support for Investment Promotion Agencies • Norms and standards for agribusiness • Creative Industries and youth emploment

  23. Time to think and act green “It is better to be approximately right than absolutely wrong” Albert Einstein Global Region Nation Group “Be the change you want to see in the world” Mahatma Ghandi
