SDG12: Responsible consumption and production
Consumption and production patterns are not currently sustainable: water and land use, greenhouse gases emissions, waste generation and management, as well as of disposal of toxic waste are still having enormous ecological footprints. Achieving this objective requires bold action to halve food waste, to ensure the sound management of chemical waste, to curb wasteful consumption, and to promote green tourism.
