List of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that
are linked to reducing and preventing marine pollution (Cleaner Seas):
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.
3.9 By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and
illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and
contamination.
6.A By 2030, expand international cooperation and
capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and
sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water
harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment,
recycling, and reuse technologies
6.B Support and strengthen the participation of local
communities in improving water and sanitation management
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
6.6 By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems,
including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers, and lakes
9.B Support domestic technology development, research and
innovation in developing countries, including by ensuring a conducive
policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value
addition to commodities
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
11.B By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and
human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and
plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation
to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement,
in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030,
holistic disaster risk management at all levels
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
12.A Support developing countries to strengthen their
scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable
patterns of consumption and production
12.B Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable
development impacts for sustainable tourism that creates jobs and
promotes local culture and products
12.C 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
12.1 Implement the 10-year framework of programmes on
sustainable consumption and production, all countries taking action,
with developed countries taking the lead, taking into account the
development and capabilities of developing countries
12.2 By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient
use of natural resources
12.3 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
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
12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through
prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse
12.6 Encourage companies, especially large and transnational
companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate
sustainability information into their reporting cycle
12.7 Promote public procurement practices that are sustainable,
in accordance with national policies and priorities
12.8 By 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant
information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in
harmony with nature
14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution
of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine
debris and nutrient pollution
14.2 By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal
ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by
strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in
order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
15.1 By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration and
sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and
their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands,
in line with obligations under international agreements
15.A Mobilize and significantly increase financial resources
from all sources to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity and
ecosystems
