New SPAC Watch report
The next SPAC Watch report is aimed at the 2nd International Expert meeting on Sustainable Production and Consumption (Marrakech + 2) to be held in Costa Rica in September 2005. The report will focus on regional and national strategies and approaches to achieve sustainable production and consumption patterns. The report will pay special attention to the WSSD commitment to "take immediate steps to make progress in the formulation and elaboration of national strategies for sustainable development and begin their implementation by 2005". [Para 162(b) of the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation].
As currently planned, the report will be divided into five regional sections - and will emphasize regional trends in achieving SPAC patterns. The report will consider indicators, targets and timetables, and obstacles faced.
Waiting for Delivery (2002)
At
the World Summit for Sustainable Development, the SPAC Watch team released
the report "Waiting
for delivery: A civil society assessment of progress towards sustainable
production and consumption".[PDF].
With a global perspective of
17 authors from around the globe, Waiting for Delivery surveys several
of the tools and policies used for implementing sustainable production
and consumption, and examines specific sectors and issues. The report
closes with a proposal for a new civil society initiative to monitor
and assess progress towards sustainable production and consumption.
