A Succinct Overview of UNIDO The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a specialized
agency of the United Nations, whose mandate is:
i. to promote and accelerate sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition;
ii. to work towards improving living conditions in the world’s poorest countries by drawing on its combined global resources and expertise.
In recent years, UNIDO has assumed an enhanced role in the global development agenda by focusing its activities on three thematic priorities:
UNIDO was established in 1966
It has 173 Member States
1) POVERTY REDUCTION THROUGH PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES
2) TRADE CAPACITY BUILDING
3) ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

Large global corporations increasingly demand cleaner and low-carbon production by their suppliers. Examples include Wal-Mart and Toyota.
Standards gaining momentum as key policy-driven market-based instrument to enact change towards sustainable consumption patterns and practice (incl. ISO 50001 – Energy Management Standard, to be released in Q1 2011)
Use of ISO 50001 will be also driven by companies seeking an internationally recognized response to:
i. International climate agreements
ii. National cap and trade programs, carbon or energy taxes
iii. Corporate sustainability/responsibility programs
iv. Increasing market value of “green manufacturing”
v. Carbon trading schemes
New instruments like carbon accounting and labelling of products are also bound to affect trade and developing country export opportunities
The Nexus of Cleaner Production, Energy and Trade
Ongoing Capacity Building Programmes
1. Cleaner Production: Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production
2. Energy: Industrial Energy Efficiency
3. Trade: Global Food Safety Initiative
Examples focusing on SMEs in developing countries
Addresses three sustainability dimensions simultaneously:
i. Production efficiency: Through improved productive use of natural
resources (including energy) by enterprises
ii. Environmental management: Through minimisation of the impact of enterprises on nature
iii. Human development: Through reduction of risks to people and communities from enterprises and supporting their development
Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP)
National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs):
i. Established by UNIDO and UNEP since 1994
ii. Core Cleaner Production (CP) capacity created through NCPCs in 46 countries- Information dissemination and awareness raising- (Professional) training- In plant assessments and demonstrations- Policy advice- Technology transfer
iii. The economic and environmental benefits of applying CP demonstrated in thousands of industries through industrial training and demonstration projects
Industrial Energy Efficiency
System optimization (steam systems, pumps, compressed air, etc.)
i. Methods to identify and develop energy performance improvement opportunities that can provide significant energy savings also with limited capital investments
Energy management system standards provide:
i. A framework for understanding significant energy use ii. Action Plans to continually improve energy performanceiii. Documentation to sustain energy performance improvements
Special attention to SMEs:i. About 30% of industrial energy use but disproportionally high savings potentialii. Better understanding of SMEs energy baseline (practices and performance)iii. Development of tailored supporting tools, best practices and success stories
Building capacity at institutional and market level in two core areas:
ObjectiveTo pilot and test the GFSI Global Markets Protocol – Basic Level, and provide concrete feedback to the partners for possible improvements of the protocol.
ScopeBasic Level – Food processing – Local sourcing
Undertaken activities UNIDO has been a member at the GFSI Global Market Committee.For the pilot of the benchmarked standards, UNIDO mobilized local Etrace team, conducted training of trainers, and facilitating on-site assessments of selected suppliers for METRO using the Global Markets Protocol kit including FSKN training modules and the assessment pack provided by GFSI.
