Special Lunch on UNEP’s contribution to
CSD 19
• GC 26/GMEF will include a Ministerial Lunch on UNEP’s
contribution to CSD 19, which will provide an
opportunity to examine policy options and
opportunities for the current implementation cycle of
the CSD with regard to the following five themes :
-
Transport
Chemicals
Mining
Waste
The 10 year Framework of Programmes on SCP.
Outcomes of CSD 18 on the 10YFP
(May 2010)
•
Broad support was voiced for the development of a 10 Year Framework of
Programmes on sustainable consumption and production (10YFP), which should
support existing initiatives, provide coherence in policy instruments, and foster
cooperation and partnerships.
•
The Marrakech Process was acknowledged by a number of countries as an
important forum for dialogue and cooperation on SCP, and there was a broad
support for developing the 10YFP, building on the work of the Marrakech Process
and its task forces.
•
In order to further develop the 10 YFP between now and CSD 19, many
delegations suggested holding an intersessional meeting in advance of CSD 19.
The intersessional will be held in Panama, 13-14 January 2011.
•
Delegations recognised that the 10YFP could be an important input to the UN
Conference on Sustainable Development (or Rio +20 conference )in 2012.

Potential elements for a 10 Year Framework
of Programmes
UNEP and UNDESA are examining potential elements of the 10YFP, including:
 Vision and Structure (objectives, vision, goals, functions, institutional
structure, and implementation mechanisms).
 Programmes – template and potential programmes.
• This joint review of potential models for the institutional structure of the
10YFP, is based on existing models from the UN system. This review and its
conclusions will be presented as a background paper at the intersessional
meeting.
• A background paper will also present example programmes collected from
various stakeholders.
• These two papers will be key inputs for the intersessional meeting
(Panama, January 2011), providing the basis for discussion between
governments and other stakeholders. The aim is to advance discussions in
the lead-up to the IPM and CSD 19, ensuring a successful outcome,
including a decision on the 10YFP at the CSD session in May.

The Programmes under the 10YFP
• At CSD 18, delegations identified possible programmes for 10 YFP, which
could be organized around sectors, such as tourism, building and
construction, education, agriculture waste, transport, and chemicals. In
some cases these would build on the work of the Marrakech Process and
its Task Forces.
• Other elements for the 10YFP proposed by delegations included tools and
approached such as sustainable procurement, cleaner production
guidelines and methodologies, green building codes and standards,
sustainable resource use measures, promotion of renewable energy, ecolabelling, education for sustainable consumption and sustainable
lifestyles.
• A template for the programmes has been developed and circulated to all
stakeholders for the submission of potential programmes (see CSD 19
website).
7
Objectives for CSD 19
• Secure endorsement of the 10 YFP and consensus on its potential
components (goals, vision, functions, structure, implementation
mechanisms)
• Reach agreement on the template for the programmes and on
some voluntary programmes for the next ten years (with the option
of developing further programmes at a later stage).
• Help mobilize the necessary financial and technical resources for
implementation of the programmes.
• Secure high-level political commitment for the proposed 10YFP at
CSD 19, that could be reinforced at Rio +20 and fully integrated in
the Rio +20 outcome.
• Prior to CSD 19 – secure a decision on SCP at UNEP’s Governing
Council in 2011 providing UNEP with a clear role in a future 10 YFP.
