UK FIRES: Locating Resource Efficiency at the heart of Future Industrial Strategy in the UK

资源效率对于减少制造业对环境的影响至关重要。实现这一目标的进展缓慢，但包括英国退欧在内的快速变化的国际背景赋予了英国产业战略新的重点，这创造了一个独特的机会之窗。这一转型计划旨在将资源效率定位于富有远见的工业战略的核心；它将通过解决四个根本的进步障碍，为英国制造业创造新的世界领先的竞争优势：-为了打破资源低效的束缚，将开发新的方法和工具，以列举和描述当今设计和制造材料产品的所有选择；-为了澄清新的制造战略对环境的影响，将开发一个突破性的物理资源观察站，以获取和解释更多和更好的全球资源数据；-以资源效益为目标的制造业创新和加快实施，有效的创新管道的特点将与一系列前景看好的新兴制造技术一起进行表征、测试和部署；-为了在工业战略中将资源效率放在新的优先位置，将在该计划的工业财团的Living Lab开发和测试新的指标和决策框架。该计划汇集了九个国际领先的学术团体和一个由认购的工业合作伙伴组成的财团。该管理战略以灵活性为目的，旨在整合不同学科的现有方法，以解决资源效率的应用问题，同时鼓励在现有方法不足的情况下探索新的方法机会。将通过一个国际咨询小组来支持联系和提高认识，通过一个联合体执行委员会来确定战略分析的优先事项，并通过一个监事会来确保财务和法律合规，从而最大限度地实现对该方案的投资价值。该方案将通过关于资源问题的季度战略分析报告、由经验丰富的政策倡导者领导的政策影响方案、技术创新、关于资源效率的年度英国论坛、商业和开放获取软件工具、研究人员培训和多渠道交流来产生影响。

Resource Efficiency is essential for reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. Progress in achieving it has been slow, but a rapidly changing international context, including Brexit, is giving new emphasis to Industrial Strategy in the UK which creates a unique window of opportunity. This transformational Programme aims to locate resource efficiency at the heart of a visionary industrial strategy; it will create new world-leading competitive advantage for UK manufacturing by addressing four fundamental barriers to progress:- to break out of lock-in to resource inefficiency, novel methods and tools will be developed to enumerate and characterise all today's options to design and manufacture material goods;- to create clarity about the environmental impact of new manufacturing strategies, a ground-breaking Physical Resources Observatory will be developed to access and interpret more and better global resource data;- to target manufacturing innovations for Resource Efficiency and accelerate their implementation, the features of an effective Innovation Pipeline will be characterised, tested and deployed with a portfolio of promising emerging manufacturing technologies; - to give new priority to Resource Efficiency in Industrial Strategy, new metrics and decision-framing will be developed and tested in the Living Lab of the Programme's industrial consortium.The Programme brings together nine internationally-leading academic groups and a consortium of subscribing industrial partners. The management strategy, designed for flexibility, aims to integrate existing methods from diverse disciplines to address the application of Resource Efficiency while stimulating exploration of new methodological opportunities where existing approaches are inadequate. The value of the investment in the Programme will be maximised through an International Advisory Panel to support connections and awareness, a consortium executive committee to determine priorities for strategic analysis, and a supervisory board to ensure financial and legal compliance. The programme will deliver impact via quarterly strategic analysis reports on resource issues, a programme of policy influence led by an experienced Policy Champion, technological innovations, an annual UK Forum on Resource Efficiency, commercial and open-access software tools, researcher training and multi-channel communications.
