1 Policy Priority for Resource Efficiency Recent developments in Germany Prof. Dr. Stefan Bringezu Presentation to the "Green Economy and Resource Efficiency Scientific knowledge of UNEP Resource Panel and the latest international trends of Resource Efficient Policy" meeting at Tokyo Conference Center, Shinagawa 6th November 2012 Tokyo, Japan Director Material Flows and Resource Management Wuppertal Institute Professor for Sustainable Resource Management Co-chair WG Land&Soil of the International Resource Panel

2 Material productivity of the German economy increases Sustainability Strategy (2002): Target Factor 2 Indicator "raw material productivity" [GDP/(DMI biomass)] - only abiotic - only used extraction Indirect flows of imports partially compensate absolute decoupling Source: DESTATIS (2012) 6 Nov 2012 S. BRINGEZU 2

3 New: German Resource Efficiency Programme (ProgRess) Cabinet decision Feb 2012 Leading ideas: combine ecological necessities with economic chances, innovation and social responsibility global responsibility greater independence from imports, increased recycling long-term orientation towards qualitative growth Source: BMU (2012) 6 Nov 2012 S. BRINGEZU 3

4 German Resource Efficiency Programme (ProgRess) requests to further develop the old indicator "raw material productivity" to account also for raw materials requirements of imports (indirect flows) unused extraction the effect of recycling and cascading This can be done in accordance with stepwise extension of MFA based indicators as outlined by Eurostat (2001) and OECD (2008) Foto Edgar Llamoca 6 Nov 2012 S. BRINGEZU 4

5 The set of indicators for material resource use and consumption indirect Source: adapted after CEC (2012) Unused extraction and TMR accounted for USA, Japan, China, Brazil, EU-27, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Venezuela by institutes and national statistical services 6 Nov 2012 S. BRINGEZU 5

6 Key indicators for monitoring natural resource use Starting from EU Commission s Roadmap Territory or national perspective Global supply chain or international perspective for Resource Efficiency (RERM): "dashboard" of key indicators Materials Domestic extraction - abiotic - biotic - used - unused, DMI, DMC* Total primary material resource requirements - direct (domestic) - indirect (foreign) TMR and TMC Integrating and extending existing statistics Land Artificial land or built-up area Direct and indirect land use for consumption of biomassbased products focussing on cropland Currently under discussion in research Water Water exploitation index Direct and indirect water consumption (e.g. Water footprint) project PolRess Air GHG emissions (t) Direct and indirect GHG emissions (both carbon and non-carbon emissions) 6 Nov 2012 S. BRINGEZU 6

7 Decompostion analysis reveals causes of decoupling Changes of Total Material Requirement of domestic production * * excluding imports directly delivered to final demand Changes of TMR Source: Acosta, Wuppertal Institute/RG3 Resource efficiency increase in industries and changes of consumption pattern can overcompensate growing final demand and lead to absolute reduction of TMR (e.g. Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands) 6 Nov 2012 S. BRINGEZU 7

8 Outlook Existing programs e.g. support for companies to detect and use potentials for resource efficiency are already effective Additional instruments e.g. top runner approach and economic instruments are currently being modelled Japan and Germany could proceed jointly as pioneers of resource efficiency policies, including advanced monitoring and target setting 6 Nov 2012 S.
