Well-designed national policy frameworks and instruments are necessary to enable the fundamental shift in the way we consume and produce. In 2018, 71 countries plus the European Union reported on a total of 303 initiatives. The sectors of relevance to reported instruments include energy (58 per cent of reported instruments), industry (51 per cent), agriculture (50 per cent), as well as waste and water (57 per cent and 46 per cent, respectively). While the pilot reporting showed a good balance between regulatory and voluntary approaches (46 per cent and 43 per cent, respectively), economic and financial instruments represented 11 per cent of all reported instruments. The structural role that SCP policies and measures could play in boosting sustainable financial investments, economic growth, and job creation may not yet have been fully tackled or operationalised. Innovative and dynamic instruments are needed to trigger transformative changes in the way the whole economy operates, creating drivers and incentives, generating new incomes and redirecting investments. Consumption and production patterns are intrinsically linked to fundamental aspects of social development, such as employment, women’s empowerment, poverty eradication, shared prosperity and well-being at large.
