Welcome to the United Nations
10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and Secretariat of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification
A new report by the 10 Year Framework of Programmes for Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP/One Planet Network) to the 2022 High Level Political Forum Sustainable (HLPF) positions Sustainable Consumption and Production (SDG 12) as one of the key enablers of resilient global pandemic recovery trajectories that leave no one behind, deliver on global sustainability ambitions, and bring us back on track to 2030.
Sustainable Consumption and Production supported by circular economy approaches and other sustainable policy models can drive poverty alleviation and mitigate climate change, while having a positive impact on biodiversity, health, land neutrality and pollution since they are projected to result in a 25 per cent decrease in resource extraction.
Improved outcomes and reductions are based on increasing rates of resource use in emerging and developing economies being offset by reductions in high-income countries. Taking a consumption perspective can provide an entry point towards a global pandemic recovery and transition towards just and equitable consumption patterns that benefit all, while also delivering positive outcomes for biodiversity and life on land (SDG 15).
