Meena Bilgi, WOCAN Core Associate, is selected by the Women’s Major Group as the Alternate Regional Focal Point – Asia – for the 10 Year Framework Patterns (10YFP) on Sustainable Consumption and Production. The 10YFP is a global framework of action to enhance international cooperation to accelerate the shift towards Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in both developed and developing countries. The 10YFP will focus on the development, replication and scaling up of SCP and resource efficiency initiatives, at national and regional levels. The aim is to contribute to decoupling environmental degradation and resource use from economic growth, while increasing the net contribution of economic activities to poverty eradication and social development, including gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The role of stakeholder focal points is to provide guidance, facilitate and coordinate the engagement of stakeholders/major groups in the 10YFP activities and implementation; the focal points will serve for a two-year period, on a rotating basis.
