Its implementation helps to achieve overall development plans, reduce future economic, environmental and social costs, strengthen economic competitiveness and reduce poverty.<\/p>\n<p>At the current time, material consumption of natural resources is increasing, particularly within Eastern Asia. Countries are also continuing to address challenges regarding air, water and soil pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Since sustainable consumption and production aims at \u201cdoing more and better with less,\u201d net welfare gains from economic activities can increase by reducing resource use, degradation and pollution along the whole life cycle, while increasing quality of life. There also needs to be significant focus on operating on supply chain, involving everyone from producer to final consumer. This includes educating consumers on sustainable consumption and lifestyles, providing them with adequate information through standards and labels and engaging in sustainable public procurement, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div  class=\" tatsu-HyZ1LNEY37 tabs oshine-module\"  ><ul class=\"clearfix be-tab-header\"><li><a id=\"tatsu-rky84NFh7\" class=\"\" href=\"#fragment-1-1306748354\">Facts & Figures<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li><a id=\"tatsu-rkx1I4Ntnm\" class=\"\" href=\"#fragment-2-1306748354\">Goal 12 Targets<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li><a id=\"tatsu-rJbU4EFhQ\" class=\"\" href=\"#fragment-3-1306748354\">Links<\/a>  <\/li><\/ul><div id=\"fragment-1-1306748354\" class=\"clearfix be-tab-content\">\n<ul>\n<li>Should the global population reach 9.6 billion by 2050, the equivalent of almost three planets could be required to provide the natural resources needed to sustain current lifestyles.<\/li>\n<li>With rises in the use of non-metallic minerals within infrastructure and construction, there has been significant improvement in the material standard of living. The per capita \u201cmaterial footprint\u201d of developing countries increased from 5 metric tons in 2000 to 9 metric tons in 2017.<\/li>\n<li>93% of the world\u2019s 250 largest companies are now reporting on sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Water<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Less than 3 per cent of the world\u2019s water is fresh (drinkable), of which 2.5 per cent is frozen in the Antarctica, Arctic and glaciers.

Commercial and residential energy use is the second most rapidly growing area of global energy use after transport.<\/li>\n<li>In 2002 the motor vehicle stock in OECD countries was 550 million vehicles (75 per cent of which were personal cars). A 32 per cent increase in vehicle ownership is expected by 2020. At the same time, motor vehicle kilometers are projected to increase by 40 per cent and global air travel is projected to triple in the same period.<\/li>\n<li>Households consume 29 per cent of global energy and consequently contribute to 21\u00a0per cent of resultant CO2 emissions.<\/li>\n<li>The share of renewable energy in final energy consumption has reached 17.5% in 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Food<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>While substantial environmental impacts from food occur in the production phase (agriculture, food processing), households influence these impacts through their dietary choices and habits. This consequently affects the environment through food-related energy consumption and waste generation.<\/li>\n<li>Each year, an estimated 1\/3 of all food produced \u2013 equivalent to 1.3 billion tons worth around $1 trillion \u2013 ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiling due to poor transportation and harvesting practices<\/li>\n<li>2\u00a0billion people globally are overweight or obese.<\/li>\n<li>Land degradation, declining soil fertility, unsustainable water use, overfishing and marine environment degradation are all lessening the ability of the natural resource base to supply food.<\/li>\n<li>The food sector accounts for around 30 per cent\u00a0of the world\u2019s total energy consumption and accounts for around 22 per cent\u00a0of total Greenhouse
