United Nations Division for Sustainable Development

The purpose of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes for Sustainable Consumption and Production is to promote and facilitate international cooperation among countries, international organizations, the private sector, environmental and consumer organizations and other non-governmental organizations to support regional and national initiatives in accelerating the shift towards sustainable consumption and production. The Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) database provides a basis for reviewing international cooperation mechanisms on SCP. It can also serve as a source of information on such mechanisms and activities for the use of national and regional initiatives seeking international cooperation. It identifies the organizations active in each area and the nature of their activities, and indicates sources of further information.
