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，但快速变化的国际环境，包括英国脱欧，正在重新强调英国的工业战略，这创造了一个独特的机会之窗。这一转型方案旨在将资源效率置于富有远见的工业战略的核心位置；它将通过解决进步的四个基本障碍，为英国制造业创造新的世界领先的竞争优势：-打破对资源效率低下的锁定，将开发新的方法和工具，以列举和描述当今设计和制造物质产品的所有选择；-为了更清楚地了解新制造战略对环境的影响，将开发一个开创性的物理资源观测站，以获取和解释更多更好的全球资源数据；-以制造创新为目标，提高资源效率并加速其实施，有效创新管道的特征将与一系列有前途的新兴制造技术一起进行表征、测试和部署；-为了在工业战略中优先考虑资源效率，将在方案工业联盟的生活实验室中制定和测试新的计量标准和决策框架。该计划汇集了九个国际领先的学术团体和一个订阅工业合作伙伴联盟。为灵活性而设计的管理战略旨在综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地方探索新的方法机会。通过国际咨询小组（International Advisory Panel）支持联系和宣传，财团执行委员会（consortium executive committee）确定战略分析的优先事项，以及监事会（supervisory board）确保财务和法律合规，该计划的投资价值将实现最大化。该计划将通过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计划、技术创新、年度英国资源效率论坛、商业和开放获取软件工具、研究人员培训和多渠道沟通来发挥作用。

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.
