First International Expert Meeting
Marrakech (16-19 June 2003)
The development of the 10-year framework is a continuous
process towards sustainable consumption and production, enhanced
through international cooperation.
The first international expert meeting was held 16-19 June 2003 in
Marrakech, Morocco, to take first steps towards developing a
10-year framework of programmes. The meeting identified a number
of key priorities, including the development of policies for
sustainable consumption and production, and the integration of
economic, environmental and social aspects. Participants agreed
that strategies for sustainable consumption and production
should include a mix of regulations, economic incentives and
communication tools, and involve partnerships between government
agencies, international organizations, private enterprises and
public interest organizations.
The meeting called for expanding the
survey of
activities on sustainable consumption and production in
order to have a better picture of current activities at the
international level.
The report of the
meeting
has been presented to the next
UNEP Governing Council
in March 2004 and the
12th
session of the CSD
in April 2004.
