SDGs 12
Responsible Consumption And Production 責任消費及生產

Achieving economic growth and sustainable development requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. Agriculture is the biggest user of water worldwide, and irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater for human use.

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. Encouraging industries, businesses and consumers to recycle and reduce waste is equally important, as is supporting developing countries to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption by 2030.

A large share of the world population is still consuming far too little to meet even their basic needs. Halving the per capita of global food waste at the retailer and consumer levels is also important for creating more efficient production and supply chains. This can help with food security, and shift us towards a more resource efficient economy.

實現經濟增長和可持續發展需要我們通過改變生產和消費商品和資源的方式來緊急減少我們的生態足跡。農業是全世界最大的用水者，灌溉現在佔用了人類使用的所有淡水的近70%。

有效管理我們共享的自然資源，以及我們處理有毒廢物和污染物的方式，是實現這一目標的重要目標。鼓勵工業、商業和消費者回收和減少廢物也同樣重要，支持發展中國家在2030年前轉向更可持續的消費模式也是如此。

世界上很大一部分人口的消費仍然太少，甚至無法滿足其基本需求。在零售商和消費者層面將全球人均食物浪費量減半，對於創造更有效的生產和供應鏈也很重要。這可以幫助實現糧食安全，並使我們轉向

一個更有資源效率的經濟。
