By 2030, Zambia aspires to live in a strong and dynamic middle-income industrial nation that provides opportunities for improving the well being of all and have a productive environment and well conserved natural resources base for sustainable socio-economic development.

Unsustainable consumption and production is responsible for land degradation, air and water pollution, resource depletion and the associated ecological and social challenges that characterize Uganda today.

The National Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) Plan for Burkina Faso was developed in 2010. The SCP Plan addresses strategies to address several environmental problems such as water scarcity, soil degradation, deforestation, reduction of biodiversity and pollution that are directly linked to consumption and production patterns.

Within the framework of the African 10 year program on sustainable consumption and production, Cairo has been selected as an example of a mega city in Africa for promotion of sustainable consumption and production.
