New goal!\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time we are specifically working on Global Goal 12, which deals with responsible consumption and production. If the world still wants to achieve economic growth and sustainable development, we urgently need to reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. But how do we do this? The main goal this semester is for all participants in the project to understand how important it is to encouraging industries, businesses, and consumers to recycle and reduce waste. We need to support more sustainable patterns of consumption by 2030!<\/p>\n
