Project Summary
The Sustainable Production and Consumption (SPC) Learning Cases project drew inspiration from UNU-IAS’ annual offerings of the ASEAN+3 Leadership Programme on SPC for government and private sector decision makers, since 2008.
Building capacity and influencing decision makers cannot be achieved by providing awareness and learning concepts on SPC alone. It is imperative to expose them to real-life cases that demonstrate a change process from a business-as-usual scenario to one which effectuates, or has the potential to, change in behavior and systems – cases that influence, or has the potential to influence, policymaking and change practices.
The project started in mid- 2012 under the coordination of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Several ProSPER.Net-member institutions, namely Prince of Songkla University (PSU), TERI University (TU), University of the Philippines (UP), and Yonsei University (YU) participated, each one contributing to at least one learning case. Other partner organizations – United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Philippines – as well as some Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCEs) in the region also provided support by contributing cases.
The aim of the project was not only to provide resource materials for the ASEAN+3 Leadership Programme on SPC but also for other capacity building initiatives of UNU-IAS and partners on SPC and related fields including those offered by the RCE and ProSPER.Net communities.
