This presentation summarizes Target 12.2 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: 'By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.' It discusses initiatives by countries and organizations like the UN to work towards this target through sustainable agriculture, reducing plastic use and pollution. However, progress has been slow, with material footprint and natural resource use continuing to rise in most places. Achieving the target's benefits like economic competitiveness and poverty reduction will require stronger policies, awareness campaigns, and more sustainable consumption and production patterns worldwide.

4. Sustainable consumption and production is about-
• more than “consuming green”
• meeting basic needs
• about changing patterns, not “doing without”
• responsible consumption consuming differently, efficiently !!
• promoting resource and energy efficiency sustainable
infrastructure
• providing access to basic services
• green and decent jobs
• a better quality of life for all.

7. "By 2030, achieve the sustainable management
and efficient use of natural resources."
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global
confirmation of natural resources for sustainable development.
The sustainable and efficient management of natural resourcs
is now an imperative for the achievement of at least 12 out of
the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
.
The International Resource Panel (IRP) is a science-policy plat
form launched in 2007 by the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) to provide decision makers and other
interested parties with independent and authoritative scientific
assessments about the use of natural resources and its
environmental impacts.

The efficient management of our shared natural resources, and the way we dispose of
toxic waste and pollutants, are important targets to achieve this goal.

9. Initiatives
Countries work for sustainable management
• The UK is committed to ban the use of micro plasti
-cs in personal care products.
• Change in quality and quantity of using water
• Step forward for the halt degradation successfully
• In Fiji, the SDG Fund is promoting organic agricultu
re, a production system that sustains the health of
soils, ecosystems and people.
10. UNDP's Strategic Plan (2018-2021) has been designed
to be responsive to the wide diversity of the countries
we serve. The diversity is reflected in
ENVIRONMENT: nature-based
solutions for development
Clean, affordable ENERGY
11. What Is Sustainable Management?
• Sustainable management is a resource managemen
-t technique that seeks to make any harvesting or
consumption of natural resources as sustainable as
possible.
• It is the intersection of business and sustainability.
12. What the target focus?
The target focus-
• Sustainable management of all natural resources
• Afforestation and reforestation
• Increase food production in a sustainable manner
• Ensure access of nutritional food to all of the world’
s people
• Creation of new economic conditions,
• Preserve and protect ecological functions.
• Adapt human activities to the capacity limits of
nature
13. Organization(s):
• United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
• United Nations (UN)
• United Nations Development programme(UNDP)
• Water and UNEP Convention.
14. EU take actions supporting specific Goal 12 targ
ets.
12.2 - By 2030, achieve the sustainable managemen
t and efficient use of natural resources
• 2020 climate and energy package
• 2030 climate and energy framework
• 2050 low-carbon economy roadmap
• Blue growth
• Chemicals , Clean energy for all Europeans
• Common agricultural policy - rural development
• Eco design, Energy efficient products
• Environment and green economy
15. • Environmental assessment
• EU biodiversity strategy to 2020
• European Earth observation programe Copernicus
• Generalised scheme of preferences (GSP+)
• Groundwater
• Reducing CO2 emissions from transport
• Resource efficiency, Resource efficiency in buildings
• Single market for green products
16. 1.3 billion
1.3 billion tonnes of food is
wasted every year, whlie
almost 2 billion people go
hungry or undernourished.
22%
The food sector accounts for
around 22 percent of total
greenhouse gas emissions,
largely from the conversion
of forests into farmland.
3%
Only 3 percent of the world
’s water is fresh (drinkable),
and humans are using it
faster than nature can
replenish it.
US$120 billion
If people everywhere
switched to energy
efficient lightbulbs, the
world would save US$12
0 billion annually.
2 billion
Globally, 2 bil
lion people a
re overweigh
t or obese.
20%
One-fifth of the wo
rld’s final energy
consumption in
2013 was from
renewable sources.
Figure and fact
20. Why is this important?
• Sustainable consumption and production aims at
“doing more and better with less,” increasing net
welfare gains from economic activities by reducing
resource use, degradation, and pollution, while
increasing the quality of life.
• Sustainable development will be achieved not only
by growing our economies, but minimising waste in
the process of doing so.
• Growth that contaminates the environment sets
development back.
21.
22. Progress of target in 2017
• Decoupling economic growth from natural resource use is
fundamental to sustainable development.
• Global figures, however, point to worsening trends: domestic
material consumption (the total amount of natural resources
used in economic processes) increased from 1.2 kg to 1.3 kg
per unit of GDP from 2000 to 2010.
• Total domestic material consumption also rose during the
same period — from 48.7 billion tons to 71.0 billion tons. The
increase is due in part to rising natural resource use worldwide
, in particular in Easten Asia.

Sustainable Development Goals",
23. • Within this 2 years the initiatives of UNEP,
efficient use of natural resource yet not
been implemented in its full swing in all
over the world.
• Material footprint isn't decreasing but It
decreasingly increasing. In some countries
-United State , china, sweden etc.

24. Challenges
• Reducing the Ecological Footprint .
• Unsustainable farming practices have contributed
to land degradation.
• Natural Disaster
• Overuse of water resources.
• Reducing the use of forest.
• Weak policy
25. Suggestions
• Use solar energy
• Efficient use of water
• Building awareness
• Reduce, Reuse, reclying
• Strengthen policy, legislative and
regulatory frameworks.
• Measuring and reporting the effectiveness
of sustainable initiatives
• Creating program on Agricultural Land
Use Planning and Soil Erosion
26. Its implementation helps -
• to achieve overall development plans
• reduce future economic, environmental and
social costs,
• strengthen economic competitiveness
• and reduce poverty.
