KEY MESSAGES

• Sustainable Consumption and Production can act as a vehicle to address the triple planetary crisis and support a sustainable recovery
• The Global Strategy for Sustainable Consumption & Production provides a coordinated, cross-cutting and
  targeted response to the challenge of shifting patterns of sustainable consumption & production globally and must be embraced.
• Circular economy principles are increasingly being
  adopted by countries as a central vehicle to achieve
  sustainable consumption and production, but levels too low and further implementation must rapidly accelerate.
• We must intensify multilateral and multi-stakeholder collaboration to accelerate coordinated action for sustainable consumption and production in the context of the implementation of the SDGs.
• An inclusive approach focusing on gender equality and
  uplifting vulnerable communities is key to achieving
  sustainable consumption and production systems.

• To accelerate the shift towards SCP we must focus our attention on high-impact, industry sectors and ensure they are significantly reducing their negative climate, biodiversity and pollution footprints
• Realizing collective climate, biodiversity and pollution goals requires sustainable consumption and production
  & circular economy to be embedded within multi-lateral
  environmental agreements (MEA’s).
• Harnessing the potential of emerging digital
  technologies and tools is key for accelerating the
  transition to a circular economy.
• It is essential that we ensure that people everywhere have
  relevant information on sustainable lifestyles that exist
  in harmony with nature.
• Policies that can effectively drive behavioural change
  towards sustainable outcomes need to be prioritized as a
  matter of urgency.

Pillar 1

Position SCP as a requirement and means to achieve global commitments for sustainable development, climate, biodiversity, and pollution

Pillar 2

Enable changes through circularity, multistakeholder and public-private partnerships, tools and solutions across high-impact systems and sectors.

Pillar 3

Empower countries and stakeholders to mainstream and implement SCP patterns, leveraging the UN Development System.

Pillar 4

Foster action by growing a global movement for SCP based on a science- based narrative, to change how we think about, act on and talk about consumption and production.
