The Partners are providing initial funding of £214k over 2 years (from 2005).

The purpose of SCPnet is threefold:

• to promote the effective use of better evidence in designing policies that support sustainable consumption and production
• to identify evidential gaps and develop further information, tools and approaches to support evidence-based policy
• to assess progress in promoting sustainable consumption and production in the sponsoring regions

SCPnet has a management board that involves all the programme partners. The management board meets twice a year and is chaired by Graham Tubb, Head of Sustainable Development at SEEDA.

SCPnet’s smaller management executive meets more frequently. The current members of the management executive are:

Henry Leveson-Gower, Environment Agency
Brian Macaulay, West Midlands Regional Observatory
Paul Hinds, EEDA
Graham Tubb, SEEDA
Martyn Roberts, Yorkshire & Humber Assembly
Steve Micklewright, WWF

enquiries. The co-ordinator is responsible for connecting the activities of SCPnet such as:

  • Ensuring knowledge sharing and linking up on SCP for the Regions through SCPnet
  • Promoting and co-ordinating monitoring of regional performance on SCP, feeding in to regional co-ordination of the BREW programme.
  • Supporting SCPnet in identifying, funding and commissioning R&D to further develop tools and analysis to support resource efficiency/SCP policy
  • Providing first-stop support and training on using current tools (e.g. REEIO , REAP ) and information to promote SCP in the regions
  • Assisting regions to use SCP tools and information to develop further regional policy and action e.g. in RES reviews, RSS development, action planning.
