Progress towards the attainment of the objective will help to achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources; to reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse; and to rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption by removing marke t 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 affected communities.
