Synergising Sustainable Consumption
and Competitiveness
Final Report Prepared by Johannah
Bernstein for Germanwatch and Worldwatch for Roundtable Held on March 2,
2005 at HANSE-Office, Brussels, Belgium
March 29, 2005
This report summarises the principal
conclusions that were highlighted at the roundtable dialogue on synergising
sustainable consumption and competitiveness policies, which Germanwatch
and the Worldwatch Institute convened in Brussels on March 2, 2005.
The March roundtable was the third
in a series of Brussels-based events that Germanwatch and Worldwatch have
organised on the topic of sustainable consumption in the last year. The
overarching objective of the roundtable was to convene a small number of
key actors to examine the political messages that should be highlighted
in order to:
-
Better elevate the sustainable consumption
imperative in the forthcoming mid-term review of the EU’s Lisbon Strategy
on Competitiveness at the 2005 Spring Summit.
-
Increase political will to operationalise
WSSD sustainable consumption commitments in the context of the ongoing
intergovernmental Marrakech process.
-
Identify individual and collective commitments
to help advance the sustainable consumption agenda.
It is important to note that this report
does not represent an agreed consensus of the participants. Rather it is
a consolidation from Worldwatch and Germanwatch of the main points that
were raised, which may be further developed over the coming months.
