9 The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides new and enhanced opportunities to engage all stakeholders within key sectors and downstream users. Sustainable Development Goal 12, Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, embeds the Strategic Approach objective in target 12.4 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. Furthermore target 3.9 specifies by 2030 substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water, and soil pollution and contamination. Due to the integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals and the cross-cutting characteristics of chemical safety, sound management of chemicals and waste is implicit in many, if not all of the Sustainable Development Goals. There are several goals where clear connections can be made and where measurable indicators and targets could be developed. Key Sustainable Development Goals that could be included are 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Resolution IV/4, in its paragraph 10, calls for the development of recommendations regarding measurable objectives in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In Table III below, the Strategic Approach secretariat has highlighted a number of relevant linkages between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the sound management of chemicals and waste for initial consideration by the stakeholders. Table III: Initial review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its linkages to the Strategic Approach and the sound management of chemicals and waste SDG Goals and Targets Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere. Target 1.5: By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters. Related indicators and other comments Progress towards this goal will have a net benefit for the sound management of chemicals and waste as vulnerable populations tend to have greater exposure to chemicals and pollution. What indicators could stakeholders consider that would contribute to achieving Goal 1? For example in supporting SDG Indicator Number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies. Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Target 2.4: By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality. This target is closely linked with the use of agricultural chemicals and how those links to food security and sustainable agriculture. What indicators could stakeholders consider in relation to Goal 2, particularly target 2.4? 9
10 SDG Goals and Targets Related indicators and other comments Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Target 3.9: By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination. SDG Indicator Mortality rate attributed to household and ambient air pollution. SDG Indicator Mortality rate attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation and lack of hygiene (exposure to unsafe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for All (WASH) services). SDG Indicator 3.9.3: Mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning. Target 3.d: Strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks. Indicator 3.d.i International Health Regulations (IHR) capacity and health emergency preparedness. This target links particularly to Strategic Approach basic element 9 - Strengthened capacity to deal with chemicals accidents, including institutional strengthening for poison centres. Achieving target 3.d will, amongst other things, benefit countries to strengthen capacity to deal with chemical accidents, including institutional-strengthening for poison centres. Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Target 4.7: By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture s contribution to sustainable development. What indicators could stakeholders consider in relation to Goal 4, particularly target 4.7? For example, SAICM GPA Indicator 154: Chemical safety is included in school and university curricula in all countries. Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all Target 6.3: By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. What indicators could stakeholders consider in relation to Goal 6, particularly target 6.3? Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. Target 8.8: Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment. This target will depend on ensuring safe working conditions for those workers exposed to hazardous chemicals and processes, including the informal sector e.g. artisanal mining, waste recycling and farming. What indicators could stakeholders consider that link to Goal 8, particularly target 8.8? 10
11 SDG Goals and Targets Related indicators and other comments Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. Target 9.2: Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry s share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries. Target 9.4: By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities These targets will require continued multi-stakeholder collaboration within the SAICM community such as industry organisations and civil society organisations, including trade unions. It will also require continued efforts in addressing emerging policy issues including: chemicals in products, nanotechnology, hazardous substances within the lifecycle of electrical and electronic products (HSLEEP), environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants, perfluorinated chemicals and the transition to safer alternatives. For example: Strategic Approach basic element 11 could be linked to Target 9.5: development and promotion of environmentally sound and safer alternatives. Target 9.5: Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending. Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Target 11.6: By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management. What indicators could stakeholders consider that link to Goal 11, particularly target 11.6? Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Target 12.1: Implement the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns, all countries taking action, with developed countries taking the lead, taking into account the development and capabilities of developing countries. Target 12.4: 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. Target 12.5: By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. Indicator : Number of countries with sustainable consumption and production (SCP) national action plans or SCP mainstreamed as a priority or a target into national policies. Could stakeholders work together at national and regional levels to include chemicals and waste in SCP national action plans? How? Target 12.4 is consistent with the SAICM 2020 goal. Does the current indicator reflect progress towards the 2020 goal? Indicator : Number of parties to international multilateral environmental agreements on hazardous waste, and other chemicals that meet their commitments and obligations in transmitting information as required by each relevant agreement. What indicators could stakeholders consider that link to Goal 12, particularly target 12.5? For example SAICM GPA Indicator 69: National action plans with respect to waste minimization and waste disposal are developed and implemented in all countries. 11
12 SDG Goals and Targets Target 12.6: Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.
