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. The Third
Public Draft of the 10YFP (Proposed input to CSD on a 10
Year Framework of Programmes on SCP) was available for comments
from the 2nd September to the 7th December 2009. A fourth draft,
revised on the basis of the comments received, will be made available
in Spring 2010.
