SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The research into incorporating sustainability into consumer protection policy aims to make a contribution to the UNCTAD RPP Research and Policy Analysis Area: The role of competition law and policy and consumer protection in economic and social development and poverty reduction, and more specifically the Sub-Element: The role of consumer protection in social development and poverty reduction.
Consumer rights are central to achieving sustainable development, because, as elucidated by Consumers International, these rights contribute towards a fairer, safer and healthier society, and a more equitable and efficient economy. Global attention has increasingly been focussed on sustainable development and sustainable production and consumption. Since the early 1980's there is a clear series of milestones as global consensus emerged on the need for sustainable consumption and production to be recognised as a critical dimension of sustainable development, and how sustainability started to become incorporated into consumer protection policies, as one policy instrument to assist in this quest to achieve more sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Sustainable consumption has its roots in the notion of sustainable development, and started to come into its own and take its place on the international policy agenda in the early 1990's (Berg, 2011). Prior to this, the locus of concern had centred around the environmental impact of consumption and production and the need to push Governments to create more enabling conditions to persuade and cajole business, or if necessary regulate compulsory steps to be taken to move towards more sustainable methods of production. Global discussion of, and later consensus around the centrality of sustainable development as an issue requiring prioritization by governments, emerged from the Brundtland Commission. The impetus for the establishment of this Commission was the passing of Resolution 38/161 by the United Nations General Assembly in 1983, which recognised the ever-increasing deterioration of the global human environment and natural resources and for the first time made explicit the viewpoint that for development initiatives to have a lasting and sustainable impact, these needed to "take account of the interrelationships between people, resources, the environment and development" (United Nations Resolution). Flowing from Resolution 38/161 the United Nations set up the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), under the chairpersonship of Gro Harlem Brundtland, the former Prime Minister of Norway. The Commission released a report, Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report, in October 1987. The proposals made by the Commission are regarded as a cornerstone in a global definition of the term Sustainable
Objectives
The objective of this research is to compare and analyse some of the best practices of incorporating sustainability into consumer protection policy, particularly in African countries. The comparative research will examine legislative frameworks in other countries to identify best practice in other countries in order to propose ways in which South African policy could be amended to embrace sustainable consumption practices and in-so-doing begin to steer consumer behaviour towards more socially equitable consumption choices. Although specific to South Africa, it is hoped that other countries can consider the framework and use this as the basis for developing country-specific frameworks.
