Introducing the Marrakech Process
"The major cause of the continued deterioration of the
global environment are the unsustainable patterns of consumption
and production, particularly in industrialised countries, which
is a matter of grave concern, aggravating poverty and imbalances." The Marrakech Process is a global multi-stakeholder process to promote Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and to work towards a 'Global Framework for Action on SCP', the so-called 10-Year Framework of Programmes on SCP (10YFP). The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
and the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs
(UN-DESA) are the leading agencies of this global process, with
an active participation of national governments, development agencies,
private sector, civil society and other stakeholders. Paving the way to Sustainable Consumption and Production: The Marrakech Process Progress Report prepared for CSD18. It highlights the work and concrete outcomes of the Marrakech Process including elements for a 10YFP. The 4th public draft will be issued after CSD 18, in order to incorporate the outcomes of that session. Comments on the 4th draft will be collected until shortly before the 4th International Expert and intersessional SCP meeting in the fall of this year. The final draft for submission to CSD is expected to be released after this meeting and in time for the IPM in February 2011.
