Released: 2008/03/10: See The full report

Background paper for the conference 'Time for Action — Towards Sustainable Consumption and Production in Europe' held in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 27-29 September 2007.

Sustainable consumption and production is being addressed in national strategies in an increasing number of cases. During the period of research, up to the end of August 2007, almost a dozen of examples of dedicated SCP strategies or NSDSs integrating SCP as a key component were identified. In terms of starting points, foci of action, instruments and targeted stakeholders etc. the identified examples represent a very wide range of approaches.
