German resource efficiency programme (ProgRess). Programme for the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources.
Description
L'utilisation actuelle des ressources naturelles dépasse de loin les capacités régénératrices de la Terre. Une utilisation responsable et efficace des ressources naturelles est donc une compétence clé pour toute société cherchant à assurer sa viabilité future. Améliorer l'efficacité des ressources permet de limiter les dommages environnementaux, renforcer la compétitivité de l'économie, créer de nouveaux emplois et garantir l'emploi à long terme. Par conséquent, le Cabinet fédéral a adopté le 29 février 2012 le programme allemand d'efficacité des ressources (ProgRess) dont ce document présente les éléments clés.

he current use of natural resources is alread far eceeding the arth’s regenerative capacit re sponsible and efficient use of natural resources will therefore be a e competence for an societ see ing to ensure its future viabilit mproving resource efficienc can limit environmental damage strength en the competitiveness of the German econom create new obs and secure longterm emploment herefore on 2 ebruar 2012 the ederal Cabinet adopted the German Resource fficienc rogramme rogRess ith this the German government imple mented the decision in its Raw Materials Strateg of 20 October 2010 to develop a national resource effi cienc programme his paper provides an overview of the e elements of rogRess
acground information
atural resources especiall raw materials are e production factors and are therefore at the heart of our prosperit More than billion tonnes of raw materials were used worldwide in 200 his is around one third more than in 2000 two thirds more than in 10 and about twice as much as at the end of the 10s ith a proected world population of more than billion people in 200 and rapid eco nomic growth in newl industrialising countries demand for raw materials continues to rise strongl er capita raw material consumption is currentl around four times higher in industrialised nations than in less developed countries
his is a maor challenge from an economic ecologi cal and social perspective Rising and volatile raw ma terial prices and suppl riss present a heav burden
for the German econom t is becoming increasingl difficult to obtain some e raw materials such as crude oil cobalt and heav rare earths from readil accessible sources t the same time resource use has impacts on the environment across the entire value chain ranging from the release of greenhouse gases and inputs of pollutants into the air water and soil to adverse effects on ecosstems and biodiversit he current use of natural resources is alread far eceed ing the arth’s regenerative capacit responsible and efficient use of natural resources will therefore be a e competence for an societ seeing to ensure its future viabilit German is in an ecellent position to lead the wa in the necessar global transformation towards a resourceefficient econom mproving resource efficienc can limit environmental loads strengthen the competitiveness of the German econom create new obs and secure longterm emploment
German is willing to tae on a pioneering role inter nationall b proving that resource efficienc in a highl developed countr can be increased without a detrimental impact on prosperit while at the same time reducing raw material consumption German can alread demonstrate increased economic per formance with reduced resource use hile there was strong economic growth during the ears 2000 to 2010 resource consumption decreased b 111 percent s earl as in 2002 the German government in its ational Sustainabilit Strateg laid down the goal of doubling raw material productivit b 2020 com pared with 1 his goal maes German an inter national pioneer he German Resource fficienc rogramme aims to contribute to reaching it
Programme content and goal
he goal of the German Resource fficienc ro gramme is to mae the etraction and use of natural resources more sustainable and to reduce associated environmental pollution as far as possible doing this we want to live up to our responsibilit to future generations and create a prereuisite for securing a high ualit of life for the long term
he German government is striving to decouple eco nomic growth as far as possible from resource use to reduce the burden on the environment and to strengthen the sustainabilit and competitiveness of the German econom thus promoting stable emplo ment and social cohesion Resource efficienc polic will help us meet our global responsibilit for the ecological and social impacts of resource use Our goal must be to reduce the use of resources
n this contet rogRess deals with raw materials he focus is on abiotic nonenergetic resources sup plemented b the material use of biotic resources he use of raw materials is connected to the use of other natural resources such as water air land soil biodiversit and ecosstems owever as these resources are alread covered b other programmes processes or legislation the are not addressed in an detail b rogRess
rogRess gives an overview of numerous eisting activities and describes approaches and measures for increasing resource efficienc t covers the entire value chain
ontents and measures
rogRess is based on a draft tet b the ederal nvi ronment genc t is divided into three parts basic programmatic statements strategic approaches along the entire value chain and specific eamples roposals for government measures are made for the strategic approaches and eamples n anne lists activities alread being carried out b the German government the ederal änder and associations and institutions in the field of resource efficienc he first part of the programme analses theoppor-tunities and potential of resource efficiencyin German and worldwide t sets outuidin prin- ciples and obectiesas well as potential indicators that can be used to measure progress in improving resource efficienc
he German Resource fficienc rogramme is shaped b four guiding principles ˘uidin principle 1oining ecological necessities with economic opportunities innovation support and social responsibilit
˘uidin principle 2iewing global responsibilit as a e focus of our national resource polic
˘uidin principle 3Graduall maing economic and production practices in German less depend ent on primar resources developing and epand ing closed ccle management

concrete terms amples include sections on bul metals rare and strategic metals future technologies such as photovoltaics and electric mobilit but also on sustainable construction which is an especiall significant sector for the resource balance and the closedccle management of plastic waste
nanneto rogRess details activities b si ederal ministries the ederal änder and 2 associations and institutions in the field of resource efficienc he anne is designed as a ‘living document’ that will be supplemented in the coming months
Procedure
he ederal nvironment Ministr M carried out a broad consultation process in the first half of 2011 involving meetings tals and events etailed discus sions on rogRess were held with eperts and repre sentatives of civil societ associations and the änder in the course of nine meetings at woring level two conferences b the Resource fficienc etwor and numerous individual meetings participation b the general public was ensured through internet consul tation round 100 written opinions and contribu tions from associations civil societ and the scientific sector have been incorporated into the programme
hen it adopted rogRess on 2 ebruar 2012 the German government decided that it will report ever four ears on the development of resource efficienc in German assess progress and develop the Resource fficienc rogramme accordingl On March 2012 the undestag passed a resolution to support the wor on rogRess and reuested a report ever four ears
launching rogRess the German government is oining uropean efforts he uropean Commission has devoted one of the seven flagship initiatives un der the urope 2020 strateg to the goal of creating a resourceefficient urope and adopted a detailed roadmap on this in September 2011 n doing this the Commission has reinforced its call to the mem ber states to draw up national resource efficienc programmes ith rogRess German is one of the first uropean countries to present a comprehensive resource efficienc programme
utloo he German Resource fficienc rogramme does not mar the end it is in fact the beginning of a process in policmaing science and societ mplementing the measures contained in rogRess will reuire a high level of selfinitiative and activities b man social actors close cooperation between politics industr science and civil societ as well as the com mitment of the German public he programme aims to provide sound and longterm orientation for all staeholders mplementing this programme will con tribute to the conservation of the ecological founda tions of life economic growth and longterm emplo ment and will safeguard the prospects of prosperit for future generations
