In this course, we will explore Sustainable Development Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production, examining the systems behind what we make, use, and discard. You will gain a deeper understanding of environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability, and how shifting these systems can create a fairer future for people and the planet.
You will also examine the challenges linked to overconsumption, waste generation, and the environmental impact of modern production systems. The course will introduce global trends and real-world examples, helping you understand how governments, businesses, and individuals are working towards more sustainable practices.
