CSCP
UNEP/Wuppertal institute collaboration centre on sustainable consumption and production was established in 2005 as an international think-tank and 'do-tank' from the collaboration between the two world-renowned institutions: the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. The Centre provides scientific support to activities undertaken by UNEP and other organizations in the field of SCP. This support includes the development, testing, implementation and monitoring of concrete projects. The Centre supports the integration of environmental, social and cultural concerns into decision making at the level of national governments, regional and local authorities, the private sector, and consumer groups.
The CSCP is supported by the Business and Employment Support Agency, Wuppertal, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry for Environment, Agriculture and Consumer Protection.
