CHM - ORTNational Target
General
Sudan
Enable Sustainable Consumption Choices to Reduce Waste and Overconsumption
ENEnsure that by 2030, the national and state governments, business and stakeholders at all levels in Sudan have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable consumption, and people are encouraged in the meantime to make sustainable consumption choices, and to reduce waste, including by improving education and raising awareness on alternatives, in order to keep the impacts of use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits
- Develop sustainable consumption choices plans and programs to reduce generated waste within safe limits,
- Assess alternative uses for reducing overconsumption and waste o biodiversity resources
- Establish participatory consumption platforms for changing thrift-consumption attitudes and behaviour to reduce waste generation,
- Revise and pass laws, and regulations governing decreasing consumption waste of used biodiversity products.
- Enhance awareness and education for changing consumers attitude and behavior towards rational consumption and waste reduction
Alignment
GBF-G-D. The biodiversity funding gap of 700 billion USD is progressively closed by ensuring adequate means of implementation are available.
| Global Targets | Degree of Alignment |
GBF-T16. Sustainable consumption choices are enabled, and food waste reduced by half GBF-T16. Sustainable consumption choices are enabled, and food waste reduced by halfEnsure that people are encouraged and enabled to make sustainable consumption choices including by establishing supportive policy, legislative or regulatory frameworks, improving education and access to relevant and accurate information and alternatives, and by 2030, reduce the global footprint of consumption in an equitable manner, including through halving global food waste, significantly reducing overconsumption and substantially reducing waste generation, in order for all people to live well in harmony with Mother Earth. | Medium |

Biodiversity and health
Finance is important for achieving targets wich could result in good health through reducing food waste . enhance education and awareness for improving human attitudes
- Sustainable consumption
- Reduce waste
- Education and raising awareness

D.3 Private funding (domestic and international) on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystems
16.b Number of countries developing, adopting or implementing policy instruments aimed at encouraging and enabling people to make sustainable consumption choices
Means to implementation and barriers to implementation
Yes (Additional means of implementation are needed for the attainment of this national target)
- Data base on food and other consumers goods over consumption and waste generation,
- Impact of food and consumer goods over consumption and waste generation on resources use and depletion,
- Certified and label schemes for sustainable biodiversity resources uses and waste generation (forest and animal food products),
- Knowledge and information on thrift biodiversity consumption and generated waste in schools, universities and mass media broadcasting.
- Mass media and public awareness material on overconsumption and waste generation at national, state and locality levels.
- Diagnostic studies on farm animals, forests, rangelands and inland resources capacities, overconsumption and waste generation,
Barriers to implementation:
- Culture and traditions are prime drivers behind over consumption ad waste generation of biodiversity resources,
- Difficulty and time for changing consumption patterns,
- Absence of laws and regulations preventing over consumption and thrift waste practices,
