The EU's Path Toward Sustainable Development Goals – Responsible Consumption and Production

The Member States of the United Nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. The goal of this essay is to provide an overview of the steps the European Union has made so far in order to adhere to SDG 12 of sustainable and responsible consumption and production. These steps involve the adoption of the Circular Economy Package, the EU's efforts of reducing food waste at all levels of the food chain, and the courses of action through which the EU is trying to utilize renewable energy sources more efficiently.
