SDG 12 - Responsible consumption and production
Our planet has provided us with an abundance of natural resources. But we have not utilised them responsibly and currently consume far beyond what our planet can provide. We must learn how to use and produce in sustainable ways that will reverse the harm that we have inflicted on the planet.
At LJMU we’re focused on sustainable learning. The concept of sustainability has influenced our curriculum, with students having the opportunity to learn about sustainable production, while our research and knowledge exchange efforts have helped to revolutionise material production, as far afield as Bangladesh and the Philippines.
