UN Environment: 10 Years of Action to Accelerate the Shift to Sustainable Public Procurement at National, Regional and Global Levels

The involvement of UN Environment in the Sustainable public procurement (SPP) area dates back from 2005 when our organization joined, from its inception, the Swiss-led Marrakech Task Force on SPP; one of the 7 task forces established in the framework of the Marrakech Process on sustainable consumption and production (2003-2012). The Marrakech process, initiated in Marrakech in 2013, prepared and gave way to the 10-year Framework Programme on Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP), adopted at the Rio+20 2012 summit.
