Strengthening the Science-Policy Interface: Construction Value Chain Consultations
Take part in identifying hotspots, consolidating existing actions, and defining a common agenda for this crucial global value chain.
19, Mai. 2021
Strengthening the science-policy interface by adopting the value-chain approach is one of the key pillars in strengthening multilateral cooperation on Sustainable Consumption and Production. Building on the findings of the joint task group of the International Resource Panel and the One Planet network presented in the report “Catalysing science-based policy action on sustainable consumption and production: the value-chain approach and its application to food, construction and textiles”, the One Planet network is now holding a series of consultations to collectively define a common agenda for action.
Following the consultations on food, the network turns now to the construction sector. The initial set of consultations will focus on identifying existing innovative business and policy solutions, through a series of expert workshops focusing on the key findings from the construction value-chain analysis. A kick-off socialisation webinar will also be taking place in early June to introduce the consultations and provide some initial innovative initiatives from the One Planet network and beyond.
Nominate an expert
The consultation workshops will be discussions amongst
experts who work along different stages of the value chain, in order to
identify existing solutions that help to reinforce the messages from the value-chain analysis.
Experts are expected to: 1) Participate in the workshop(s): approximately
2 hrs each; and 2) Undertake preparatory readings and provide feedback: max
4 hrs in total. This is an opportunity to highlight interesting tools and
solutions that already exist and which may help to define a broader common
agenda for action to increase sustainability in the construction sector. Click here to
