Responsible Consumption and Production

Achieving economic growth and sustainable development requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. Agriculture is the biggest user of water worldwide, and irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater for human use.

The efficient management of our shared natural resources, and the way we dispose of toxic waste and pollutants, are important targets to achieve this goal. Encouraging industries, businesses and consumers to recycle and reduce waste is equally important, as is supporting developing countries to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption by 2030.

A large share of the world population is still consuming far too little to meet even their basic needs. Halving the per capita of global food waste at the retailer and consumer levels is also important for creating more efficient production and supply chains. This can help with food security, and shift us towards a more resource efficient economy.

What we will cover

1. Provide an overview of consumption and production worldwide today.

2. Understand the importance of responsible consumption and production worldwide.

3. Share examples of existing solutions that is already contributing towards the goal.

4. Consider what barriers and regulations may be hindering the achievement of this goal.

5. Understand the goals targets by 2030 to promote responsible consumption and production.

6. Think about who we need to influence to give the SDGs greater prominence.
