Development Goal, No Poverty

The UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 focuses on ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns to foster a balanced global economy. With the world population projected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, the goal emphasizes the importance of equitable resource distribution, particularly between the affluent north and resource-scarce south. It advocates for fundamental changes in production and consumption sectors, promoting efficiency, sustainability, and access to basic services. Education plays a vital role in reshaping consumption habits and empowering communities to adopt sustainable practices. By addressing challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and weak infrastructure, the goal aims to create a more just and sustainable world, ultimately improving the quality of life for all.
