United Nations Environment
The Rio+20 Conference reaffirmed that Sustainable Consumption and Production is a cornerstone of sustainable development.Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) is about “the use of services and related products, which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardize the needs of further generations”. It requires building cooperation among different stakeholders as well as across sectors in all countries.
