Worldwide consumption and production — a driving force of the global economy — rest on the use of the natural environment and resources in a way that continues to have destructive impacts on the planet.

It is also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
