1 Indicators for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) March 2015 Effectively implementing the new Sustainable Development Goals and their accompanying targets will depend on having sound, achievable and global indicators available to measure progress. Indicators are important because when the responsible individuals have to report against them, it drives action to maintain progress in the implementation of the Goals in every reporting period. In this briefing we set out some proposals for indicators required to monitor progress in moving towards sustainable consumption and production (SCP). Our proposals draw on civil society experience of implement SCP. Criteria for choosing indicators Our suggestions for some simple key criteria for these chosen SDG indicators, including those relevant to SCP; are: Outcome-focussed. In general, the indicators should measure whether desired outcomes are achieved rather than on whether policies, regulations and processes are put in place. Established. Ideally, the indicators need to already be established and understood, and in use in several nations even if not yet used by many national statistical offices. If a chosen indicator is relatively new and not yet widely in use, the data which underpins it must already be being collected in some countries. However, there may be a need for a limited number of new indicators if progress cannot be measured by established indicators, in which case the Inter Agency and Expert Group can resolve such issues. Multi-level. The indicators need to apply primarily at the national/state level, given that member state governments have lead responsibility in implementing the post-2015 agenda, goals and targets. However, governments will not be able to achieve the Goals on their own. There must also be maximum scope for disaggregated and aggregated indicators so higher and lower levels can use these to report their own progress, from regional groups of nations through to individual enterprises, local and regional governments and even at the level of individual people and households. Regularly and widely reported on. Nations should be able to commit to reporting on them annually without time lags of many years, although biennial and triennial reporting may be appropriate for some indicators. That means committing sufficient resources to gather and analyse the data, with support to build capacity for data gathering and analysis capabilities of all nations. Universal. They should be universal every chosen core SDG indicator should be useful, meaningful and viable for every member state. Supplementary country, region and sector-specific indicators can be developed and adopted if stakeholders find them useful in pursuing sustainable development. Indicators for sustainable consumption and production While Goal 12 is to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, SCP is cross cutting through the range of proposed Sustainable Development Goals with many of their targets making a strong contribution to it. Based on a broad definition of SCP which is concerned with unsustainable under-consumption as well as over-consumption,

2 we have argued that 65 of the 169 targets contribute to SCP to an important degree. Of these, 30 have a particularly strong, clear and direct link to SCP. Through an initial analysis, we propose the following indicators to track progress on those targets that we judge are most strongly linked to shifting towards sustainable consumption and production. Most of these indicators comply with the criteria set out above, although for some of them further development work is needed and only a minority of nations are currently collecting the necessary data. Our approach has been to propose one indicator for each of the targets most closely linked to SCP which fits most closely with the criteria set out above, because it would not be helpful for each target to have numerous adopted global indicators. However, a small number of these targets are so wide ranging and cross cutting in nature that we felt it was appropriate to propose two or more indicators. We also propose that a few targets could share an indicator which matched both of them well. Over the coming year we intend to develop our recommendations further in consultation with governments and civil society experts. What is Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and why does it matter? SCP means a global economy which delivers sustainable development and ends extreme poverty, all within the capacities of our one planet and meeting the needs of future generations. It means an end to the chronic and widespread under-consumption of life s basic necessities which leaves more than a billion people with too little for dignity, decency, comfort and safety a situation which is incompatible with sustainable development. It also means an end to careless overconsumption of resources which, mediated through increasingly long and complex global supply chains, are changing the climate, polluting and drying out river catchments, mining groundwater, fouling the air, soil, sea and freshwater and destroying forests and other ecosystems we all depend on. If people everywhere, and future generations, are to have the chance of a good quality of life we need to consume with more care and less waste. As well as changing patterns of consumption, SCP requires equally large changes in the way we produce goods and services. We need a more circular and resource efficient economy which cuts waste, boosts reuse and recycling, switches to low and zero carbon energy sources and radically improves the efficiency with which we use energy, water, land, sea and raw materials. This approach makes good sense for business and individuals, creates jobs and boosts the global economy. Bioregional is an international charity which works with partners around the world on sustainable consumption and production in the communities in which we live and through products and services. We call our approach One Planet Living. Bioregional is Focal Point for Sustainable Consumption and Production for Beyond 2015, a global civil society coalition of over 1,000 organisations. Bioregional is Global NGO Focal Point for the UN 10 Year Framework of Programmes and member of the Sustainable Building & Construction Programme Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Committee.
