Strengthening science–policy ties at IRP capacity-building meeting
Paris, 3 October 2025 - The 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP) joined the International Resource Panel’s (IRP) capacity-building meeting for new Panel members. The session brought together scientists, policy practitioners and the 10YFP Secretariat to strengthen the links between research and international action on sustainable consumption and production.
Representing the 10YFP, Jorge Laguna Celis, Head of the 10YFP, presented the programme’s work and priorities, highlighting how the partnership with the IRP has been essential in ensuring that science informs policy and implementation. He underlined how IRP assessments such as the Global Resources Outlook have helped ground 10YFP work and outputs - and how joint initiatives—such as the value-chain approach developed with the IRP—translate scientific methods into practical tools for governments and stakeholders.
“By combining the IRP’s evidence base with the 10YFP’s intergovernmental reach, we can accelerate progress towards SDG 12 and support countries in building more sustainable patterns of consumption and production”, said Laguna Celis.
The event provided an important opportunity to connect with prospective IRP panel members and reaffirm the close cooperation between the two organizations. Moving forward, there remains a consensus between the organizations for advancing the global science–policy interface, ensuring that the authoritative and science-based knowledge of the IRP and international convening power of the 10YFP, work hand in hand to deliver tangible impact on SDG12.
