The European Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption and Production (erscp) is a non-profit forum that provides a platform to stimulate, develop and disseminate new initiatives to foster the implementation of sustainable consumption and production concepts and approaches within local and regional sustainable development initiatives. Its conclusions are presented at the EU Commission. This year, the European Roundtable, which is took place during June (8-10) in Aalborg, Denmark, is part of Joint Actions on Climate Change, a joint endeavour bringing together five conferences in the field: European Roundtable for Sustainable Consumption and Production, The Greening of Industry Network; SCORE!; Nordic Life Cycle Association, and Euro Sustainability. Vinyl 2010 has participated in the erscp conferences since 2004 as part of its commitment to contribute to the sustainable development debate. This year it focused its contribution on its Sustainable Development Essay Competitions, journalistic essays of 1000 words in English to which young people from all over the world are invited to give their views on major issues concerning a sustainable future. Ole Grøndahl Hansen Director of the PVC Information Council Denmark (and head of the judging panel for the Industry Prize in this year's competition) was joined by Robert McSweeney , one of the competition winners, to jointly explain to the conference the value of this type of initiative in engaging young people in the sustainable development issues.
