Review of SDGs implementation: SDG 12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

SDG 12 guides the formulation and implementation of policies, mechanisms and partnerships to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (SCP), recognizing that SCP is not only an objective in its own right, but also a critical element of strategies to achieve the entire 2030 Agenda in an integrated manner. This session will consider progress in achieving SDG 12, identify challenges at the global, regional and national levels, and recommend solutions in an integrated manner, through the exchange of lessons learned and best practices.

Proposed guiding questions:

  • What actions and practices have proven to be the most successful in ensuring SCP at the global, regional and national levels?
  • How can effective partnerships be promoted to engage key stakeholders, such as corporations and consumers?
  • How can actions aimed at meeting SDG 12 be taken, with a view to maximizing co-benefits and minimizing negative trade-offs in relation to other SDGs, in particular those reviewed in depth at this meeting of the HLPF?
  • Who are the furthest behind and who is at risk of being left behind for this SDG?
