Why a common platform?
Connecting the dots
for governments
Monitoring SCP is
new to everyone
Requested by
Member States
De-prioritised in
nationalisation processes
Least funded of
the SDGs

4. An inter-agency collaboration
Reports from the UN Secretary General state that SDG 12 on Ensuring Sustainable Consumption and Production is the least resourced of all the goals and only covered in a fragmented way. The subsequent resolution A/RES/72/279 calls on the UN Development System to inter-alia “promote progress on those Goals lagging behind (…) building on comparative advantages, reducing gaps, overlaps and duplication across entities.”
A part of a broader collaboration across the UN custodian agencies of SDG 12
Streamlining of methodologies, terminology, processes and timelines
Aims to make SDG 12 and SCP more accessible to governments
UN Environment, FAO, UNWTO, UNESCO, UNCTAD
Within UN Environment: BRS Convention Secretariat, the International Resource Panel, SDGs and Information Unit, Economic and Fiscal Policy Unit, and Consumption and Production Unit, and within One Planet Network; Secretariat, Food Systems, Public Procurement and Tourism Programme.
