_Sustainable Development Goal 12 is to “ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”, __[according to the United Nations.](https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-consumption-production/)___ The visualizations and data below present the global perspective on where the world stands today and how it has changed over time. The [UN has defined](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf) 11 _targets_ and 13 _indicators_ for SDG 12. Targets specify the goals and indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all targets and show the data on the agreed indicators. ## Target 12.1 Implement the 10-year sustainable consumption and production framework ### SDG Indicator 12.1.1 Sustainable consumption and production action plans **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.1.1 is the “number of countries developing, adopting, or implementing policy instruments aimed at supporting the shift to sustainable consumption and production” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). The UN defines sustainable production and consumption as: “the use of services and related products, which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimising the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generation.” This does not measure the quality or ambition of these plans, only whether a country has one. Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target: **“Implement the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns” with all countries taking action by 2030.1 <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/country-scp-plan"/> ## Target 12.2 Sustainable management and use of natural resources ### SDG Indicator 12.2.1 Material footprint **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.2.1 is “material footprint, material footprint per capita, and material footprint per GDP” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Material Footprint (MF) is the attribution of global material extraction to domestic final demand of a country. The total material footprint is the sum of the weight of the used biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and non-metal ores. It is measured on the basis of _consumption_, which means that it is a country’s domestic material footprint adjusted for trade. Data on this indicator for material footprint per capita and per unit of GDP is shown in the interactive visualizations. This is currently only available as global estimates. **Target:** “By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.” undefined ### SDG Indicator 12.2.2 Domestic material consumption **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.2.2 is “domestic material consumption, domestic material consumption per capita, and domestic material consumption per GDP” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Domestic Material Consumption measures the total amount of material directly used in an economy. It measures material _production_, rather than consumption because it is not adjusted for trade. “Materials” include biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and non-metallic minerals. Data on this indicator for domestic material consumption per capita and per unit of GDP is shown in the interactive visualizations. **Target:** “By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.” undefined ## Target 12.3 Halve global per capita food waste ### SDG Indicator 12.3.1 Global food loss **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.3.1 is the “(a) global food loss index and (b) food waste index” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). The ‘Food Loss Index’ measures how losses in the food supply chain have changed relative to 2015. Food ‘losses’ are defined as the loss or wastage of food from the farm up to the retail level. Pre-harvest losses, and retail and consumer waste are not included. Data for this metric is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target:** By 2030 “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.” <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-food-loss-index"/> ## Target 12.4 Responsible management of chemicals and waste ### SDG Indicator 12.4.1 International agreements on hazardous waste **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.4.1 is the “number of parties to international multilateral environmental agreements on hazardous waste, and other chemicals that meet their commitments and obligations in transmitting information as required by each relevant agreement” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). There are a number of international multilateral agreements on hazardous waste and other chemicals (including the Montreal Protocol, Basel Convention, Rotterdam Convention and Stockholm Convention). This metric shows the share of required information that has been submitted to international organizations as part of each agreement. **Target:** “Achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks” by 2020.2 Unlike most SDG targets which are set for the year 2030, this indicator is set for 2020. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/parties-to-multilateral-agreements-on-hazardous-waste"/> ### SDG Indicator 12.4.2 Hazardous waste generation **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.4.2 is “(a) hazardous waste generated per capita; and (b) proportion of hazardous waste treated, by type of treatment” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Hazardous waste is defined as waste that is harmful to human health, or the environment. This indicator captures how much hazardous waste is generated, and how it is treated or disposed of. **Target:** “Achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks” by 2020.2 Unlike most SDG targets which are set for the year 2030, this indicator is set for 2020. undefined ## Target 12.5 Substantially reduce waste generation ### SDG Indicator 12.5.1 Recycling rates **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.5.1 is the “national recycling rate, tons of material recycled” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). This includes various types of material recycling such as municipal (household) waste and electronic waste. Limited data is available for recycling rates globally. The first visualization shows the total quantity of municipal waste – that is, waste from households and businesses, that would be collected by local authorities – that is recycled. The second visualization shows the percentage of electronic waste that is recycled in each region. **Target:** “By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.” undefined ## Target 12.6 Encourage companies to adopt sustainable practices and sustainability reporting ### SDG Indicator 12.6.1 Companies publishing sustainability reports **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.6.1 is the “number of companies publishing sustainability reports” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). These metrics are split by the number of countries that meet the _minimum_ requirements for reporting, at least. Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target: **“Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle” by 2030. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/companies-publishing-sustainability-reports-minimum-requirements"/> ## Target 12.7 Promote sustainable public procurement practices ### SDG Indicator 12.7.1 National sustainable procurement plans **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.7.1 is the “number of countries implementing sustainable public procurement policies and action plans” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Data on this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target:** “Promote public procurement practices that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities” by 2030. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/medium-high-level-implementation-of-sustainable-public-procurement"/> ## Target 12.8 Promote universal understanding of sustainable lifestyles ### SDG Indicator 12.8.1 Understanding of sustainable lifestyles **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.8.1 is the “extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualizations. **Target:** “Ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature” by 2030. undefined ## Target 12.a Support developing countries' scientific and technological capacity for sustainable consumption and production ### SDG Indicator 12.a.1 Support for developing countries' capacity for sustainable production **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.a.1 is the “installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing countries (in watts per capita)” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Renewable energy is defined as hydropower; marine (ocean, tidal and wave); wind; solar (photovoltaic and thermal energy); bioenergy; and geothermal energy. Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target:** “Support developing countries to strengthen their scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production” through 2030. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/renewable-electricity-generating-capacity-per-capita"/> ## Target 12.b Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable tourism ### SDG Indicator 12.b.1 Monitoring sustainable tourism **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.b.1 is the “implementation of standard accounting tools to monitor the economic and environmental aspects of tourism sustainability” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target:** By 2030 “Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable development impacts for sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products.” <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/implementation-of-tools-to-monitor-economic-and-environmental-tourism"/> ## Target 12.c Remove market distortions that encourage wasteful consumption ### SDG Indicator 12.c.1 Removing fossil fuel subsidies **Definition of the SDG indicator:** Indicator 12.c.1 is the “Amount of fossil-fuel subsidies (production and consumption) per unit of GDP” in the_ _[UN SDG framework](https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global%20Indicator%20Framework%20after%202023%20refinement_Eng.pdf). This includes pre-tax subsidies for both production and consumption of fossil fuels, as a share of total gross domestic product. Production subsidies reduce the cost of producing coal, oil or gas. Consumption subsidies cut fuel prices for the end user, such as by fixing the price at the petrol pump so that it is less than the market rate. Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization. **Target:** By 2030 “rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption by removing market distortions, in accordance with national circumstances, including by restructuring taxation and phasing out those harmful subsidies, where they exist, to reflect their environmental impacts, taking fully into account the specific needs and conditions of developing countries and minimizing the possible adverse impacts on their development in a manner that protects the poor and the affected communities.” undefined Full text: “By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment.” Full text: “Implement the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns, all countries taking action, with developed countries taking the lead, taking into account the development and capabilities of developing countries.” | Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns |
