Talk:Sustainable Development Goal 12

To do list

These are improvements that could be made if anyone has time:

• Add some more images and world maps from Results Tracker (see Wikimedia Commons)
• Improve captions of existing maps/images
• Improve the flow of text in the background section because some of it reads like just a collection of facts but without good prose and flow.
• Improve lead to make it a better summary of the article
• Improve readability, make sentences easier to understand for laypersons.
• Find any other good progress reports for SDG 12.
• Provide more detail and references to the section on "linkages with other SDGs"
• Find more progress information for some of the indicators which so far don't have progress information provided. Scour all the links on the HLPF website.
• Add more wikilinks to other articles in Wikipedia and vice versa (link back to SDG 12 from those other articles).
• Find Wikipedia articles that explain some of the key concepts that are used in the SDG 12 article. We should not have to created new articles - often times they exist but just under different names. EMsmile (talk) 15:08, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Text removed - SDGs for Better Fashion

I removed this text block because it was not well sourced inline and too detailed. But perhaps parts of it could be rescued:

As of November 20, 2018, the UN has launched ‘SDGs for Better Fashion’ to promote sustainable fashion production and disposable by integrating the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into this industry - with the primary focus on SDG 4, 9, 12 and 13. The objective of this pledge is to challenge the environmental, economic, and social matters in adherence to fashion production and consumption. The following pursuits have been implemented to execute these goals: sustainable design strategies, endorsing the practice of sustainable technologies, sustainable resource management through the textile supply chain, and recommending innovative business initiatives while simultaneously promoting conscious consumption behaviours to consumers. Through a partnership with REGENRATE Fashion, LLC the UN has obtained 800+ beneficiaries, 200+ audiences of the free webinar for consumers and 200+ guest's to its Sustainable Fashion Pop-up. The recognition found through these methods has brought the attention of over 200 trade professionals in the fashion industry. Between December 2018-April 2019 the UN has engaged in effective consumer awareness strategies through their Free Webinar during the international campaign week and Fashion Revolution week, while having engaged in at least 3 major public events. In addition to this, the UN has educated 100 fashion design students through its SDGs for Fashion Workshop, fostering growth and change in the mindsets and prospects of future industry professionals. A progress report is due September 2021. Furthermore, upcoming goals to be completed by December 2022 is the integration of at least three of the four SDGs 4, 9, 12 and 13. These SDGs goals are to be met through prospective consulting projects with merits such as environmental corporate responsibility, research developments, sustainable production methods and the continuous engagement of consumer and producer awareness through education and other societal efforts (Sustainable Development UN, 2020).

Text removed about Covid impacts

The following text was removed from the article because the references don't mention SDG 12. However, I am wondering if some of it can be salvaged. There are probably similar references out there that do mention SDG 12 in this context: ++++++++ Many interferences in the global food supply chain have occurred due to the impacts of COVID-19. Due to the loss of income, many people around the world experienced due to employment disruptions, many agricultural and livestock products were discarded and destroyed, due to a surplus of these products. There has also been concerns about the global trade of foods and agricultural products. Border closures, social distancing challenges, as well as interrupted air and sea transportation has caused food shortages in the retail supermarket chain. This has resulted in many consumers opting for local food supply chains, and purchasing foods and produce available regionally. However, it is unclear how these supply chains will adjust to region-specific challenges, such as weather, drought, and plague. Furthermore, there has been the challenge of stockpiling, which has caused food shortages, as well as for pharmaceutical, and other personal care products. This has also caused many disruptions for major supermarket chains, but under most circumstances, stockpiling is not necessary, and is actually more harmful as it leads to greater food waste, food insecurity, and negatively affects vulnerable populations, such as the elderly. ++++++++ EMsmile (talk) 02:08, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

2015 Established sustainable goals by United Nations for consumption and production

This is Q3 ( Aug ) of 2022. Q. Have there been any changes for the better during the last seven years? A. No. Q. Why? A. United Nations have become too large for any converted action. It has become a glorified talking shop at an unprecedented level of expenses without limits and hence unsustainable itself Q. What can we do? A. 1.Divide the UNO into six units, one for each of the six continents. The Secretary General should be on a three yearly rotation from each of the six regions with HQ in the respective capital cities. 2. History has proven that smaller organizations are more efficient in analyzing, debating and teaching an agreed solution quickly and efficiently. 3. Sustainable consumption: 3.1 Net global population growth is already on downward slope except for Sub- Saharan Africa. 3.2 This means net consumption and hence net production should be on a downward slope also. 3.3. The production can be further reduced if it was calculated to meet the 'needs' only. 3.4. The problem against reaching the sustainable goals lies in the decisions to produce to meet the 'wants' of all. 3.5 Too much 'wants' lead to gluttony, poor health, waste not forgetting the exponential increase of global carbon footprint.

I think I must stop here so that others can take over the thread and expand.
