Works
The Centre contributes to the Plan of Implementation agreed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 to promote sustainable patterns of consumption and production (SCP). It seeks to “promote social and economic development within the carrying capacity of ecosystems by addressing and, where appropriate, de-linking economic growth and environmental degradation through improving efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources and production processes and reducing resource degradation, pollution and waste”. The con-cept of SCP aims to take an integrated and coordinated approach towards consumption and production, seeking positive synergies between different methodologies and tools, and ensuring that activities are mutually supportive.
Within the Marrakech Process, have been established as voluntary initiatives led by countries – in co-operation with other partners – committed to carrying out a set of activities that support the implementation of specific projects of the Marrakech Process. Starting in 2006, the CSCP will support the MTFs through the development and application of demonstration projects on various levels.

Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
