REPORT ON SDG-12
A better understanding of environmental and social impacts of products and services is needed, both of product life cycles and how these are affected by use within lifestyles. Identifying “hot spots” within the value chain where interventions have the greatest potential to improve the environmental and social impact of the system as a whole is a crucial first step. Innovation and design solutions can both enable and inspire individuals to lead more sustainable lifestyles, reducing impacts and improving well-being. There are two main ways to eradicate this problem (a) Reducing your waste and (b) Being thoughtful about what you buy and choosing a sustainable option whenever possible.
