The 10-year framework of programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production is linked to all targets of SDG 12, literature research shows that SDG 12 is connected to a total of 14 other SDGs - making SCP the number one most cross-cutting theme across the SDGs.

Main Associated SDG indicators:

12.7.1 # of countries implementing sustainable public procurement policies and action plans;

Linked SDGs: 12.2.1/8.4.1, 12.2.2/8.4.2, 12.3.1, 12.5.1., 12.6.1, 12.8.1, 12.A.1, 12.b.1, 12.c.1, 13.2.1, 14.c.1, 14.6.1,15.8.1

Considering that the development, adoption and implementation of policy instruments integrating SCP are creating the enabling environment for sustainable development, there are potentially many more associated SDGs, targets and indicators.
