Planning for Change: Guidelines for National Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production
Planning for Change provides guidelines on
how to plan, develop, implement and monitor national programmes on promoting
sustainable consumption and production (SCP). The provision of these non-prescriptive
guidelines was a request to UNEP by the governments who work together at establishing
a ten-year framework on SCP (Marrakech process). The manual includes a very
accessible written overview of concepts, tools and policies, and presents an
easy-to-use 10 step programme. It stresses the importance of obtaining high-level
commitment, establishing multi-stakeholder processes, and setting objectives
and indicators, preferably integrated with existing strategies on sustainable
development and poverty reduction. The report contains nine case studies (Argentina,
Czech Republic, Ethiopia, Finland, Jamaica, Japan, Senegal, Thailand, United
Kingdom) and several other examples of good practice, a foreword by UNEP's Executive
Director, Achim Steiner, a literature overview and a linkage to the UNEP
online clearinghouse on SCP. The production of the manual was financially
supported by the government of the United Kingdom (Department for Environment,
Food and Rural Affairs, DEFRA).
