The resource helps support a number of SDG targets related to sustainable consumption and production.
These include 12.6 (adopt sustainable business practices), 12.7 (green procurement), 13.3 (climate action), 11.B (integrated policies in cities and towns, including for resource use) and 16.B (adopt policies for sustainable development).
Ensuring collections-based organisations are an infrastructure for sustainable development and wellbeing supports SDG 9.1 (develop new infrastructure), and retrofitting organisations to be more efficient supports SDG 9.4 (retrofit existing infrastructure). Sustainable consumption could help reduce the impact of tourism activities (8.9) and develop measures for sustainable tourism (12.B).
The resource supports SDG targets related to education and training for sustainable development, including 4.7 (Education for Sustainable Development), 12.8 (information for lifestyles in harmony with nature) and 13.3.
More broadly, the concept of sustainable consumption is the subject of 8.4 (decouple economic growth from environmental degradation) and 12.2 (use natural resources sustainably). Topics support SDGs 12.3 (reduce food waste) and 12.5 (reduce waste). Different tools in the toolkit support a range of additional SDG targets.
The focus on ‘beyond GDP’ measures of consumption and value contributes to SDG 17.19 (develop measures for sustainable development).
