1 Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3Rs. A core element of Asia- Pacific governments economic growth strategies DRAFT Background paper for the 6 th regional 3R Forum in Asia and the Pacific Maldives, August 2015, presented by Heinz Schandl
2 The opportunity for Asia and the Pacific Unprecedented growth in population and consumption coincides with unprecedented constraints of land availability, soil quality, water, fossil fuels, metals and fertilisers supply risks Climate impacts, pollution and waste New economic context of reduced supply security and potentially higher prices Defining question of this century: how can we accommodate more people, more production and more consumption on the same planet Most economic opportunities will arise in resource efficiency and waste minimization technologies, practices and infrastructure 2 Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3R. s Heinz Schandl

11 Post-2015 development agenda and new Sustainable Development Goals GOAL 8 Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all 8.4 Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead GOAL 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns 12.2 By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources 12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse Proposal for Sustainable Development Goals Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3R. s Heinz Schandl
12 First forum of ministers and environment authorities of Asia Pacific in Bangkok, May 2015 The effect of climate change and disasters and increasing vulnerability of countries in Asia and the Pacific, which will continue to impose economic losses that could offset development gains, increase poverty and threaten water and food security. Deteriorating health and rising costs from air, water and soil pollution due to emissions, effluent and waste from industry, transport and agriculture. Threatened food, water, and energy security due to increasing population, rapid urbanization, changes in land use and widespread pollution. Increasing resource use, with little improvement in resource efficiency, causing degradation and loss of ecosystems services and additional financial burdens. Gaps in scientific knowledge and evidence based understanding of the causes of environmental degradation were adversely affecting the confidence of policy makers in taking timely and decisive action to safeguard the common environment. Chair summary Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3R. s Heinz Schandl

16 Transformative policies Ecological budget and tax reform Carbon abatement through a market mechanism (cap and trade, carbon tax) Remove subsidies on primary resources Invest in green economy Consume responsibly (governments and households) 16 Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3R. s Heinz Schandl
17 A policy agenda for achieving the SDG s based on the 3R s: resource efficiency and waste minimization Resolve the tension between economic growth and environmental sustainability through a regional/national conversation Extend the mandate of the regional 3R Forum to facilitate this conversation Establish a regional advisory panel of eminent scientists and community leaders Promote and introduce transformative policies Mainstream 3R policies into sectoral policy Mainstream 3R policies into trade agreements and market liberalization 17 Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3R. s Heinz Schandl
18 Policy agenda continued Regional financing mechanisms for projects and experiments that enhance resource efficiency New Asian Infrastructure Bank Regional private public partnerships need be promoted to establish demonstration projects of eco-city precincts and ecoindustrial parks Establish a knowledge-sharing platform based on a university collaboration network Establish an Asia-Pacific research area to drive policy relevant research 18 Resource efficiency and waste minimization achieved through the 3R. s Heinz Schandl
