18 10YFP Sustainable Building and Construction Programme To be Launched When? Status Proposed Working Areas by the end of 2014 or in early 2015 A public on-line consultation on the draft concept note of the Sustainable Buildings and Construction (SBC) Programme is currently taking place. The SBCI network partners are providing support to consultations in various regions, and facilitating feedback on the development of the programme. Establish and promote enabling frameworks to implement SBC policies Reduce climate impact of building sector Promote Resource Efficiency in Building Supply Chain Support and Promote Sustainable Social Housing Knowledge sharing, outreach and awareness raising (cross-cutting) Proposed vision of the SBC programme All stakeholders involved in the planning, commissioning, design, construction and deconstruction, management and operation of buildings have a common understanding of sustainable buildings and the knowledge, resources and incentives required to create, maintain and use them; structures that are healthy to live and work in, that sustainably utilise energy, water, land and other key resources, respecting environmental limits, and ultimately have a minimally adverse impact on the natural world.

19 10YFP Sustainable Food Systems Programme To be Launched When? Status Proposed Working Areas Launch is expected second quarter of 2015 On-line consultation July 2014: gathered 212 responses (29% from researchers, 25% from NGOs, 18% from governmental institutions, 8 % from the private sector, 6% from IGOs, 12% other) The first draft of the programme concept was developed at an expert session of the Agri-food Task Force on SCP on September 2014 at FAO Headquarters in Rome. Increasing the availability, accessibility and sharing of actionable knowledge, information and tools for sustainable consumption and production Encourage, facilitate and support integrated multi-stakeholder dialogue to help inform interconnected policymaking towards sustainable food systems at local, national, regional and international levels Facilitating the use and enhance opportunities for market-based and/or voluntary approaches throughout supply chain towards sustainable food systems Proposed vision : all food systems are sustainable, delivering food security and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social and environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised

20 Creating collective impact through the 10YFP programmes Five Conditions for Collective Impact Kania and Kramer 2011 COMMON AGENDA A shared vision for a common understanding of the problem A joint approach to solving it through agreed upon actions SHARED MEASUREMENT Collecting data and measuring results consistently, thus aligning efforts Holding each other accountable MUTUALLY REINFORCING ACTIVITIES Activities are differentiated while still being coordinated through a mutually reinforcing plan of action. CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION Consistent and open communication across the many actors to build trust Assure mutual objectives, and create common motivation. BACKBONE SUPPORT Leads and co leads of programmes and their MACs, supported by the Secretariat, provide strategic direction, facilitate dialogue, manage data collection and analysis Secretariat, Leads and Co-Leads and MACs mobilize funds together, while Secretariat and Board report to ECOSOC, which in turn supports 10YFP Leads, co-leads and Multistakeholder Advisory Committees of the Programmes Serving as parliaments, work plan, project generator and fund mobilization for the programmes, together with other programme partners Multistakeholder composition, participatory governance and the five factors above are the key to making programmes work. Programmes will be built from the bottom up, responding to the expressed needs of national and stakeholder focal points

21 Current status: regional activities 10YFP Regional Meetings in YFP Regional Meeting at the African Roundtable on SCP, May 2014, Windhoek, Namibia Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Regional Council of Government Experts on SCP in the LAC region, October, October 2014: South East Asia training workshop for 10YFP National Focal Points, Vientiane, Lao PDR 27 October 2014: 1st 10YFP multi-stakeholder regional meeting for Eastern Europe, Geneva, Switzerland.

23 10YFP in the international agenda UNEA Ministerial Plenary focused on Sustainable Development Goals and the Post-2015 Development Agenda, including SCP from June, 2014 Ministers highlighted the potential of the 10YFP as an important implementation mechanism for the SDGs In the outcome document, Ministers called on the international community to accelerate implementation of the 10YFP Two dialogues at HLPF, 30th June Dialogue with the Chairs of the 10YFP Board How could SCP contribute to the SDGs? HLPF echoed UNEA call for rapid implementation of the 10YFP 10YFP Board paper on potential contribution of 10YFP programmes to the SDGs (June 2014)

24 Challenges & opportunities How to accelerate the implementation of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on SCP? Empowering the 10YFP National Focal Points (NFPs), nominated by governments, to define and convey countries needs for the shift to SCP capacity building for NFPs is a key demand NFPs to enhance inter-ministerial cooperation and coordinate broader stakeholder action at the national level, also serving as the channel for submitting proposals to the 10YFP Trust Fund Secure more active participation of the private sector and financial institutions in the 10YFP by demonstrating the economic case for, and return on investment generated by, the shift to SCP patterns Securing predictable and adequate finance for the 10YFP Trust Fund to enable timely implementation of its programmes at national and regional levels, on the scale being demanded by many actors

25 Challenges & opportunities What opportunities exist for improving the comprehensiveness of programmes under the 10YFP in support of national sustainable development transitions? Actors in all programmes to identify areas of cooperation and synergies, including between 10YFP programmes, in order to ensure a wider collective impact and effective resource mobilization. Identifying other priority themes to be addressed countries have expressed interest in programmes on waste, SMEs and cities Showcasing, through 10YFP programmes and country experiences, that the shift to SCP patterns offers triple-win solutions for society, the economy, and the environment.
