Priority
The agenda of the Marrakech Process has led to the three strategic priority areas that structure the work of the CSCP. They are derived from the discussions taking place under the Marrakech Process and reflect recent developments in the SCP debate. The first area deals with the socio-economic consequences of progress towards SCP, especially its contribution to human development and poverty reduction in developing countries. Addressing the consumption side is the focus of the second area, which deals with both individual and institutional patterns of consumption. The production side is dealt with in the third area, in which the CSCP seeks to encourage responsible industrial development.
