This brief summarises the proceedings and outcomes of the 1st CCET webinar which was held on 25 July 2017 at the Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center in line with the International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP) 2017. It is aimed to provide a step wise guideline on how national and local authorities can undertake practical and...

Enhancing resource productivity is effective to improve trade-off between the environment and economy. For minimizing consumption of natural resources required for economic activities, it is necessary to strengthen both material recycling and energy utilization, which reduce final disposal amount and return waste to economic activities as resource...

A growing population and urbanization is a challenge for finite natural resources. Without strict regulation to recycle, recover and reuse resources, waste is discarded with no value. Every year throughout the world, more than twenty-five million vehicles turn into end-of-life vehicles (ELV) and most of their valuable resources end up in landfill...

Growing up: 10 years of publishing sustainability science research

Academic landscape of 10 years of sustainability science

Sustainability science and implementing the sustainable development goals Remarks: DOI 10.1007/s11625-017-0486-5

Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) was adopted as a stand-alone goal and reflected as one of the cross-cutting objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a central role to address global resource consumption and its associated environmental impacts, as well as numerous social and economic issues. With this broad...

2010年代に入って、現在の環境政策のベースとなっている効率性改善を重視するアプローチから、資源利用・エネルギー利用の総量抑制を意識した充足性アプローチを重視する動きが出てきている。2015年には持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）とパリ協定が採択され、いずれも無限の資源、環境容量を前提としない社会経済を目指すものである。本研究における充足性アプローチは、従来の効率性アプローチに対して、資源・環境制約を念頭にして、消費・ニーズのあり方の転換も視野に入れてエネルギー・資源消費総量を抑制するアプローチと定義する。従来、環境政策はその政策手法（規制的、経済的、自主的、情報的手法）により検討が行われてきたが、SCPが取り扱う領域が汚染対策や環境効率の改善から...

Policy intervention towards sustainable consumption is thus important in shifting the demand side/civil sector towards a sustainable socio-techno regime. i.e. altering provision systems and infrastructure. This is a shift from a technically oriented efficiency approach to a sufficiency approach. This shift in thinking is highlighted in the...

Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) has gained increasing importance to sustainability policy, featuring prominently in global policy frameworks, including the United Nations’ 10-year framework of programmes for SCP (10YFP) and as both Goal 12 and a cross-cuttting objective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The question remains...
