| 英文摘要: | In the Asia Pacific region with its rapid economic development and population increase, sustainable consumption and production (SCP) has become an urgent issue. Every two years, IGES publishes its White Paper focusing on important sustainable development policy issues in Asia and the Pacific. This time, the Third IGES White Paper entitled "Sustainable Consumption and Production in the Asia-Pacific Region: Effective Responses in a Resource Constrained World’’ brings together IGES research activities on SCP.
As the region continues its economic growth, changes can be seen in traditional consumption patterns, particularly in the increasingly urbanised emerging middle class. A growing population in the Asia and the Pacific which consumes in the same way as the average American or European would mean there would not be enough resources on Earth to satisfy demand and the environment would face increasing damage. Hence, not only does the developed world need to radically change its current consumption patterns but also the developing world needs to find its own sustainable consumption path.
This White Paper adopts the perspective that sustainable production generated by sustainable consumption can lead to structural changes in the Asian economy and encourage ever-increasing sustainable consumption. It looks at the role of the main stakeholders (consumers, communities, governments, business and NGOs etc.) and sectors (agriculture, forestry, water resources and energy) as well as developing detailed discussion on cross-cutting themes facing Asia (climate change and regional integration). Based on analysis of these issues, it presents broad policy recommendations to promote SCP, and show the region a path towards SCP. |
