UN Development Goal:

Responsible Consumption & Production

Development & Sustainable Development are two very contrasting things

The ability to separate economic growth from resource use is one of the biggest challenges the global community faces today. The material footprint for fossil fuels is 4X higher in developed countries than in developing countries. “But how are developing countries supposed to grown capital without greater resource dependence,” you may ask? That’s what SDG 12 is all about!

Make an Impact on Consumption & Production

Take Action!
