By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the
retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along
production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.
-
By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals
and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed
international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air,
water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment.

development impacts for sustainable tourism that creates

Rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that
encourage wasteful consumption by removing market distortions,
in accordance with national circumstances, including by
restructuring taxation and phasing out those harmful subsidies,
where they exist, to reflect their environmental impacts,
taking fully into account the specific needs and conditions
of developing countries and minimizing the possible adverse
impacts on their development in a manner that protects the
poor and the affected communities
