(31 results for your search)

Sub-goal 12.1 calls for the implementation of the 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP), which covers the period 2012 to 2022. It is intended to initiate, coordinate and support activities for the implementation of sustainable consumption and production patterns at the global, regional and national levels.

The ten-year project brings together programmes in six areas: sustainable consumer information, sustainable building and housing, sustainable public procurement, sustainable tourism, sustainable lifestyles and education, and sustainable food systems. The Federal Government, represented by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), took over the chairmanship of the 10YFP Executive Board after its founding in 2012 along with the Mexican government. Since that time, it has been actively supporting its establishment as the central UN institution promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns. In an important step to further development, the One Planet Network was founded in 2018 as a global information and innovation hub for the worldwide transformation to sustainable consumption and production patterns. The BMU, the Government of Indonesia and Consumers International also manage the consumer information program. In addition, the BMU is particularly active in programs for sustainable tourism and sustainable procurement. Tasks here include developing guidelines for credible consumer information at the UN level, supporting ambitious labelling systems and disseminating best practices. 

Knowing how many countries explicitly include sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in their national policies is critical to measuring the implementation of the SDG 12.1 on an international level. In this context, the German National Programme on Sustainable Consumption (NPNK) deserves particular mention; it is a cross-departmental action plan adopted by the federal cabinet in 2016. The plan describes ideas and concrete measures for key consumer sectors that contribute to the mainstreaming of sustainable consumption patterns. The NPNK is characterised by the fact that its implementation implies, in particular, the involvement of civil society, research and private industry. The Competence Centre on Sustainable Consumption (KNK) was founded to this end. Working with the subordinate authorities of the ministries, it serves as a service point for information and supports the National Sustainable Consumption Network (NNNK).

Competence Centre for Sustainable Consumption (KNK)

The Competence Centre for Sustainable Consumption (KNK) was set up in 2017 to support the implementation of the National Programme on Sustainable Consumption (NPNK). The following partners work closely together within the KNK:

  • Federal Environment Agency (UBA), 
  • Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE),
  • German Aerospace Center (DLR), 
  • German Cooperation for International Cooperation GmbH (GIZ),
  • Competence Centre for Sustainable Procurement (KNB).

The tasks of the KNK include the management of the program implementation of the NPNK, the provision of information services and scientific support. The overall goal is to raise public awareness for sustainable consumption, to facilitate an exchange between all social actors and to promote synergies in the implementation of the National Programme on Sustainable Consumption.

The Green Button

The Green Button is a government-run label for sustainable textiles. Since September 2019, the certificate sets binding requirements for the products and the entire company. To obtain the certification, companies have to meet high requirements regarding their production and working conditions. Therefore, they have to comply with 46 social and environmental criteria. Independent auditors conduct the necessary audits. The Germany Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development defines and owns the certification scheme. The Green Button provides orientation when buying socially and environmentally manufactured textiles. Thus, it aims at raising awareness of customers and companies on the topic of sustainable textile production and supply chains. With the assistance of an independent expert advisory council, the Green Button is continuously being developed further to be even more comprehensive in the future.

National Programme on Sustainable Consumption

The National Programme on Sustainable Consumption was adopted by the Federal Government in 2016. It formulates approaches for the implementation of the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development from the consumer and product perspective. It aims to contribute to reconciling consumption patterns and lifestyle with ecological and economic limits. The national programme identifies and defines objectives, principles of action, fields of action, and implementation strategies in order to systematically expand and promote sustainable consumption in its various facets.
