SDG 12: Legal Guide to the SDGs

As SDG 12 is primarily concerned with products and services across global supply chains, acting as an important driver towards the circular economy and more conscious commerce, it is particularly amenable to private sector stakeholders. It is here that the role of law in facilitating private sector transactions and regulating responsible business behaviours comes to the fore. This provides a unique opportunity, particularly for commercial lawyers, to support the world’s global ambitions towards net zero and climate security.

It is our intention to keep the Chapters as up to date as possible. Please help us to do so by providing feedback or new information which to include in them. Contact us at sdg.legal.initiative@a4id.org

A complete paradigm shift in production and consumption patterns is needed. This shift must involve governments, private-sector corporations, and individual consumers to better balance supply and demand for natural resources.
