The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as the Secretariat of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production, is pleased to pre-launch the online Global SCP Clearinghouse, a unique one-stop hub dedicated to advancing Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) worldwide.  The Global SCP Clearinghouse is a harmonized and dynamic information and knowledge platform that will facilitate and trigger more innovation and cooperation towards SCP implementation.

 

Today, in a context of increasing environmental degradation and climate change, it is clear that a systemic change is needed to move towards resource efficient and sustainable lifestyles. This requires the participation and action of all: governments to the business sector, civil society and citizens.

 

However, in a world of scattered and overflowing information, effective tools for sharing knowledge, building synergies and strengthening cooperation at all levels are essential. The Global SCP Clearinghouse is meant to join forces and to offer all stakeholders tools to:

 

-          Browse regional and thematic communities dedicated to key SCP related areas or sectors, such as sustainable food systems, sustainable tourism, lifestyles, education and youth or sustainable public procurement.

-          Share and find information and initiatives on SCP, with a worldwide SCP database, and calendar of news and events;

-          Build networks and identify partners with an interactive marketplace for SCP cooperation, working groups and fora;

-          Strengthen capacities with the experts / resource persons directory, a dedicated E-library and other tools included in MySCP, the members’ personal space on the platform.

-          The Global SCP Clearinghouse will also serve as the information platform of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP) – for more information visit www.unep.org/10yfp.
