Sustainable consumption and production patterns

18.7 The ESCWA region is suffering from a scarcity of water resources and their inefficient use, which is manifested in wasteful consumption patterns, particularly in the agricultural sector.

Promote sustainable consumption and production patterns as called for in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation

High income elasticities, product innovation and changing consumption patterns all contributed to that dynamism.

(b) Development of four pilot projects in four selected countries aimed at promoting SCP patterns

As income increases, consumption patterns tend to evolve along fairly predictable lines.

To overcome that problem, there must be recycling as well as changes in consumption and production patterns.

It is planning to organize an expert meeting on promotion of sustainable consumption patterns through cultural values and traditional lifestyles in the region.

Long term trends suggest that this century is going to be a tough place to live, with population increases, consumption patterns increasing, and conflict over scarce natural resources.

Nevertheless, they saw patterns of consumption and leisure as determined by relations of production, which led them to focus on class relations and the organization of production.

After ruling out a number of possible explanations, they concluded that poorer households imitated the consumption patterns of richer households in their area.

Only new patterns of consumption and production a new economic model can address that most fundamental resource problem.

But the opposite of the excessive consumption model excessive reliance on investment to generate aggregate demand is also a self limiting growth pattern.

Long term trends suggest that this century is going to be a tough place to live, with population increases, consumption patterns increasing, and conflict over scarce natural resources.

This would require politically difficult shifts in consumption and investment, with America increasing its savings and China increasing domestic consumption.

This is especially critical given the effects of the escalating consumption patterns of young people on the environment, such as the depletion of natural resources, the consumption of energy and the disposal of waste.

Consumption

Structures upon which other structures had been imposed.

And green taxes such as on carbon emissions would shift consumption patterns while discouraging energy intensive exports.

These criteria should be both qualitative and quantitative and may involve implementation of changes in consumption and production patterns particularly in the wealthier countries.

And, if the newly affluent follow the patterns of consumption, energy use, and carbon emissions that accompany high income levels now, the climate change battle will have been lost.

We will promote sustainable consumption and production patterns, with the developed countries taking the lead and all countries benefiting from the process, as called for in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation.

The consumption discount rate should account for the possibility that, as consumption grows, the marginal unit of consumption may be considered to have less social value.
