This document discusses SDG 12 on Sustainable Consumption and Production. It provides the targets for SDG 12, including reducing food waste, managing chemicals and waste, increasing recycling rates, and promoting sustainable practices. It also discusses the timeline for achieving some of the SDG 12 targets between 2017-2025. Some targets may need updating if they fall between the initial measurement periods. Additional indicators may also be needed to fully measure the goals. National and international reporting will be important to track progress on SDG 12.

3. History of SCP from
1992 to 2015
Far too long

4. SCP 1987 to 2001
1987: Brundtland Commission:
"Sustainable development is development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
It contains within it two key concepts:
• the concept of needs, in particular the essential
needs of the world's poor, to which overriding
priority should be given; and
• the idea of limitations imposed by the state of
technology and social organization on the
environment's ability to meet present and future
needs."
1992: Agenda 21 Chapter 4 Changing consumption
patterns
1992: Agenda 21 Chapter 21 Environmentally Sound
ManagementOf SolidWastes And Sewage-related
Issue
1992:Agenda 21 Chapter 41Transnational
Corporations and Sustainable Development
1994 Norway hosted a workshop on SCP
1995 Commission on Sustainable Development urged
governments to look at their procurement policies
1997:Rio+5 promoted the internalization of
environmental costs and benefits into the price for
goods and services, while seeking to avoid potential
negative effects for market access by developing
countries,
For the period 1998 to 2001 the CSD had poverty and
sustainable consumption and production patterns as
overarching issues to be integrated into the entire
sector and cross sector negotiations
1999: session addressed sustainable consumption
and production by putting forward amendments to
the UNGA consumer protection guidelines to include
sustainable consumption standards.The UNGA
subsequently accepted these. As many countries’ laws
on consumer protection are drawn from the UN
guidelines, this was a significant success.

5. SCP 2002 to 2015
2002: WSSD calls on all stakeholders to “Encourage and
promote the development of a 10-year framework of
programmes (10YFP) in support of regional and
national initiatives to accelerate the shift towards
sustainable consumption and production to promote
social and economic development within the carrying
capacity of ecosystems.
2003: The Marrakesh Process a global process to
support the elaboration of a 10-Year Framework of
Programmes (10YFP on SCP) on sustainable
consumption and production, also called for by the
WSSD JPoI. Its goals were:
• To assist countries in their efforts to green their
economies
• To help corporations develop greener business
models
• To encourage consumers to adopt more sustainable
lifestyles
2011: The CSD negotiated a 10-Year Framework
of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and
Production but the text was not adopted
2012: Rio+20 adopts the 10Year Framework on
SCP;
2015: Sustainable Development Goal 12 on
Sustainable Consumption and Production

6. Sustainable Development Goals

7. What are the differences between the MDGs & SDGs?
7
The MDGs just applied to developing countries.
The SDGs apply to ALL countries.
The MDGs addressed development.
The SDGs address sustainable development.
The MDGs addressed the symptoms.
The SDGs address the actual causes.
The MDGs addressed the sectors only.
The SDGs address the cross-sectoral issues.

International Reports
Has your country reported yet?

18. National Reporting
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encourages member states to: “conduct regular
and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and sub-national levels, which are country-
led and country-driven”:
2016: 22 National Reports
2017: 44 National Reports
2018: 15 countries so far
2019: 115 still to announce to report
On the HLPF web site it has:

SCP

25. An example on where a conversation on this
could happen - 2017
• Oceans Conference
• G20 (July 7-8).
• The High Level Political Forum -
will address the Oceans Goal (July
10-19)
• UN General Assembly (September
18-29)
• The UNEP Global Programme of
Action for the Protection of the
Marine Environment from Land-
based Activities (GPA-IGR4) (TBC)
• United Nations Environmental
Assembly (December 4-6)

26. Stakeholders
Matter
Points of Light
26

27. Rio Earth Summit 1992
27
1992 Earth Summit agreed:
• Agenda 21 – 40 chapters – a
blueprint for the 21st century
• United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change
• United Nations Convention on
Biological Diversity
• The Forestry Principles
An increased role for ‘stakeholders’ in
policy development and implementation

28. Stakeholders
Nine Major Groups
• Women.
• Children andYouth.
• Indigenous Peoples.
• Non-GovernmentalOrganizations.
• LocalAuthorities.
• Workers andTrade Unions.
• Business and Industry.
• Scientific andTechnologicalCommunity
• Farmers
SDG 12 Stakeholders
• Governments
• Regional Economic Integration
Organizations
• Intergovernmental Organizations
• NGOs/stakeholders/Major Groups –
industry, trade union, health sector,
public interest NGO
• Individuals involved in management
of chemicals through their lifecycle.

29. The Science and
Policy Interface

30. Clustering Conventions and Policy Frameworks
Clusters
• Chemicals and hazardous wastes;
• Biodiversity associated;
• Climate associated;
• Oceans/Regional seas and related
conventions.
Scientific body
• None
• IPBES
• IPCC
• None
one ring to rule them all?

31. Pooling Financial
Resources

32. Overseas Development Assistance:
1990s - the Lost Decade
32

33. Addis Ababa Action Agenda Implications for Funding the SDGs
• The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these global goals will cost an
estimated $3-5 trillion a year and will likely shape the next 15 years of financing for
development
• Delivering the SDGs are quite manageable at around two per cent of world GDP.
• ODA if given at 0.7% would account for around $260-$280 billion a year
• Domestic mobilization and stakeholder resources - in particular the private sector
financing - is expected to address the remaining
• Foundations have created a SDG Philanthropy Global Platform (SDGfunders) which is
being replicated at national level and regional level.
• What role will PPPs play? UNECE is developing a set of Principles for PPPs and the
UN Finance for Development Office is also looking at an initiative around agreeing a set
of PPPs.
• Environment, Social, Governance reporting of companies
• Development Banks can play a critical role multinational, national and sub-national eg
World Bank Group/GEF, Development Bank of South African New York Green Bank
33

34. Key Message – Interlinkages and High Hanging Fruit
• The 2030 Agenda and SDG12
• Timelines
• NewTargets and Indicators?
• The Science and Policy Interface
• Financing the SDGs
• Stakeholders Matter: Multi-
stakeholder nature of the SDGs
• Partnerships
