No. 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production
Sustainable consumption - a prerequisite for a green economy
Transitioning globally to a sustainable consumption and production of goods and services is a necessity to reduce the negative impact on the climate and environment as well as human health. Developing countries in particular are greatly affected by climate change and other environmental impacts, which means increased poverty and reduced welfare.
Sustainable consumption and production means efficient use of resources, consideration of the ecosystem that are necessary for livelihoods and reduced impact from hazardous chemicals. This not only means environmental benefits but also social and economic benefits such as increased competitiveness, business development in a global market, increased employment and improved health and thus reduced poverty. Sustainable consumption and production patterns are therefore also a prerequisite for changing to a green economy, green industrial transition and for sustainable development.
