SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. This involves reducing waste, using resources efficiently, and greening supply chains.

These two SDGs are closely linked because sustainable cities rely on responsible
consumption and production. Here’s how:

* Reduced waste: Cities generate a large amount of waste. By encouraging responsible consumption and production, we can reduce the amount of waste generated in the first place. This makes waste management in cities more efficient and sustainable.
* Resource efficiency: Sustainable cities use resources like water and energy efficiently. Responsible consumption and production practices can help to conserve these resources by promoting the development and use of sustainable products.
* Greener supply chains: When businesses adopt sustainable practices throughout their supply chains, it contributes to the creation of sustainable cities. This includes using recycled materials, reducing pollution, and minimizing environmental impact.
