Workshop on Encouraging Local Initiatives Towards Sustainable Consumption Patterns
ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE (ECE) Workshop on Encouraging Local Initiatives Towards Sustainable Consumption Patterns (2-4 February 1998, Vienna, Austria) CITIZENS’ INITIATIVES ON SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION Introductory report by Ms. Nadia McLaren Union of International Associations1 Belgium UNITED NATIONS Geneva, 1998 1Prepared on behalf of Global Action Plan International and in collaboration with the ECOFORUM issue group on changing consumption and production patterns. The contributions of Marilyn Mehlmann (Global Action Plan Association, Sweden) are gratefully acknowledged. This document has been reproduced without editing. 1 Citizens Initiatives on Sustainable Consumption This paper reviews the key experience gained by my organisation, Global Action Plan (GAP), with promoting technical and research projects on sustainable consumption patterns at the local level, and introduces some general observations and points for debate, for instance on the role of various actors such as citizens groups. This is the second part of the paper. The first part deals with the general context within which the work of GAP, and other civil society initiatives, is undertaken. The third part takes the form of a summary of opportunities and constraints, and some questions, and is intended to support policy development for measures in this area. 1. Driving forces behind consumption patterns There are several dimensions to the context within which local initiatives must function. Finding meaningful and effective approaches to sustainable consumption, which ordinary people can use at the local level, has been the primary goal of GAP since its inception in 1990. We raise here questions of definition, space, finance, demographics, and time. The Definition Dimension – what is sustainable consumption? In our experience, it is sufficient that people can "understand" what sustainable consumption means for them, without having to understand what it means in a semantic sense. -
