The 10-Year Framework emphasizes global collaboration with developed nations leading efforts towards sustainable consumption and production. Goals include reducing food waste and chemical emissions, promoting recycling, and integrating sustainability into corporate practices. It stresses the importance of public awareness, technological support for developing countries, and sustainable tourism monitoring. Additionally, it advocates for phasing out inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies while safeguarding the needs of vulnerable communities, thereby fostering a more equitable and environmentally conscious global economy.

SDG 12 provides some of the advantages:

1. Preservation of the environment via sustainable consumption and production.

2. Enhancement of resource efficiency, leading to waste reduction and energy conservation.

3. Encouragement of economic growth and innovation through the creation of new markets and technologies.

4. Promotion of social equity and well-being by guaranteeing fair labor practices and access to sustainable goods.

5. Improvement of health and safety by minimizing exposure to harmful substances.

6. Building resilience and adaptation to environmental and economic disruptions.

7. Facilitation of global collaboration to promote international cooperation for sustainable development.

China has been actively working towards achieving SDG12.

1. China is working towards sustainable consumption and production patterns, taking into account the development and capabilities of developing countries.

2. China is striving to achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources by 2030.

3. By 2030, China aims to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.

4. By 2020, China aimed to achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle.

5. By 2030, China aims to substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.

6. China promotes public procurement practices that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities.

7. China supports developing countries to strengthen their scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.

8. China rationalizes inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption by removing market distortions, in accordance with national circumstances.

One of the greatest global challenges is to integrate environmental sustainability with economic growth and welfare by decoupling environmental degradation from economic growth and doing more with less. Resource decoupling and impact decoupling are needed to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns and to make the transition towards a greener and more socially inclusive global economy.

To ensure sustainable consumption and production practices necessarily entails to respect the biophysical boundaries of the planet and to reduce current global consumption rates in order to fit with the biophysical capacity to produce ecosystem services and benefits.

UNEA 4. Resolution 1 (UNEP/EA.4/Res.1 ) specifies that a circular economy is one of the current sustainable economic models, in which products and materials are designed in such a way that they can be reused, remanufactured, recycled or recovered and thus maintained in the economy for as long as possible, along with the resources of which they are made, and the generation of waste, especially hazardous waste, is avoided or minimized, and greenhouse gas emissions are prevented or reduced.

UNEP's Economy Division has a project on Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO for SDGs) which aims to strengthen the capacity of countries to achieve SDG 12.

SDG 12 on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and UNEP's implementation of SCP and circular economy are fully aligned. Currently, UNEP is developing an SDG 12 Hub which will provide visualization and coordination across SDG 12. This links to UNEP's OnePlanet Initiative for Sustainable Consumption and Production. The OnePlanet Initiative and the SDGs are fully aligned in terms of the monitoring approach. Additionally, the newly developed SCP Hotspots Analysis Tool (SCP-HAT) is an online application with data on the environmental and socio-economic performance of 171 countries over the last 25 years. It allows countries to quickly identify and analyse hotspots at country and sector level and provides key country information in the context of most relevant policy questions.

Launched at HLPF on July 7 th 2021, the SDG 12 Hub is built to support Member States in the achievement of SDG 12, and is the central location for accessing official government reporting against SDG 12 indicators. The SDG 12 Hub consolidates and visualizes the results of national reporting on SDG 12 indicators, and makes these publicly available, allowing Member States to browse progress on SDG 12 by individual targets or by country.

The SDG 12 Hub also provides governments, businesses, civil society and the public with direct and transparent access the data reported by Member States on SDG 12 Targets, as well as linkages to existing knowledge platforms, databases and networks through which stakeholders can share progress, knowledge and solutions for sustainable consumption and production.

Indicators:
Sustainable growth and development requires minimizing the natural resources and toxic materials used, and the waste and pollutants generated, throughout the entire production and consumption process. Sustainable Development Goal 12 encourages more sustainable consumption and production patterns through various measures, including specific policies and international agreements on the management of materials that are toxic to the environment.
