Integrating Sustainable Consumption and Production and Climate Change Policy

Launching of White Paper ‘Integrating Sustainable Consumption and Production Tagar#SCP and Climate Change Policy: A Strategic Contribution to Strengthening Bangladesh’s Nationally Determined Contributions (Tagar#NDC 3.0)’ in a side event at Tagar#SB 62 sessions in Bonn. It’s an overwhelming experience of developing this White Paper with the guidance of Ranga Pallawala, Key Expert on Climate Change, sachin joshi, Key Expert on SCP Policy Options and SDG12 Progress, and Zinaida Fadeeva, Team Leader, SWITCH-Asia Policy Support Component.

🔓 This white paper develops an analytical proposition based on interviewing key informants and reviewing of the relevant documents having direct and indirect implications for SCP and outlines scope and challenges of developing a Bangladesh-specific Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) that incorporates SCP-relevant mitigation in the Bangladesh’s NDC.3.

⛔ Despite having significant potential, many SCP-relevant mitigation opportunities across sectors and value chains are currently being overlooked primarily due to data gap, resource constraints and policy barriers.

The White Paper recommend.
🎯 Increased engagement of the private sectors, especially ready-made garments (RMGs), textile, cement, brick manufacturing etc. as they are inefficient and unsustainable in using resources and have the potential of emission reduction while also contributing to environmental sustainability.

🎯 Align SCP-linked emission reductions with non-market-based approaches, termed ‘Non-market Approaches-NMAs’ in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. While the Market Mechanism requires a transparent and robust accounting/reporting system, namely the market-based mechanism, non-market approaches are flexible in terms of accounting and reporting.

🎯 Develop a mechanism/framework for national carbon market and trading to scale up NDC targets by engaging the private sector in carbon trading, and by creating an enabling marketplace for bilateral agreements on emissions reduction and corresponding adjustments.

🎯 Enhance institutional coordination and financing, as well as an enabling regulatory framework e.g. National SCP strategy as the legal basis for institutionalizing and integrating SCP into NDC and other relevant plans.
