Changing how we measure

Parallel Session
June 1st, 12:30 - 14:00

Session Recording available below

Partners from regional scientific institutions and the UN will discussed the importance of monitoring progress and the need for data and science-based approaches in policymaking for SCP. The session announced the Regional Science Partners for SCP (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America), established to support national governments and other stakeholders in the regions with contextual and targeted scientific evidence for decision- and policymaking.

Through a panel debate, the partners highlighted key scientific considerations to inform policymaking for SCP, including decoupling and the social/human well-being dimension, and explored key scientific tools and resources available to inform science-driven policymaking for SCP, including the SCP Hotspot Analysis Tool (SCP-HAT) and the Global Resources Outlook.

The announcement of the Regional Science Partners for SCP in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, is a commitment to enable science-driven approaches for effective and impactful sustainable consumption and production interventions. Through this Partnership, leading scientific institutions will support national governments and other stakeholders in the regions with contextual and targeted scientific evidence for decision- and policymaking. This effort is led by the One Planet network and Life Cycle Initiative, in collaboration with Go4SDGs, UNEP Regional Offices, and the UN Economic Commissions (UNECA, UNESCAP, UNECLAC), and supported by the International Resource Panel, Vienna University and CSIRO. The first year of the Science Partners will focus on the use of the SCP Hotspot Analysis Tool (SCP-HAT) for identification of impactful hotspots for SCP interventions.
