Workshop for SDGs Indicators: Achieving & Monitoring Sustainable Consumption & Production (S 04 Jul 2016
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in the UN General Assembly in 2015, stressing further participation, cooperation and stricter responsibilities in sustainable development worldwide. Countries are putting collective efforts to find ways to implement the global agenda through enhanced actions. For industry, sustainability is no longer just one of options but becoming more a requisite. Industry can realize sustainable development through eco-innovation, and eco-innovation is especially linked to SDG 12, “Ensuring Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns”. The goal is important to achieve in Viet Nam as the industry is growing in a fast pace. Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) targets include implementation of national action plans, management of chemical and wastes and environmental reporting of companies, as well as, public procurement policies. To raise awareness and tackle issues to pursue SDGs and find opportunities in SCP through eco-innovation, Hanns-Seidel Foundation (HSF) and ASEIC held one-day workshop for SDGs indicators at Hotel de L’ opera of Hanoi on June 16th, 2016 focusing on “Achieving and Monitoring Sustainable Consumption and Production (SDG 12) through Eco-innovation in Viet Nam”. Around 40 people including government officials and policy makers of Viet Nam and international experts convened to discuss and build capacity together to find ways for Vietnam to be resilient and sustainable in consumption and production patterns. The workshop covered topics in: Legal Frameworks & Policies on SCP; Industry Supporting Mechanisms for SCP; Strengthening Scientific & Technological Capacity and Innovation for SCP; Data Development and Monitoring Methodology for SCP, with facilitation from experts of the field. The workshop being the starting point of collaboration, HSF and ASEIC will research and publish “ASEM Eco-Innovation Index: Country Case Report of Sustainable Consumption and Production in Vietnam” in 2017.
