Target 12.1 is to implement the 10YFP in all countries taking into consideration each ones capabilities, which can easily be measured by following up on which countries have actually implemented this plan.
For Target 12.2 and 12.b we can measure sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources and sustainable tourism using the Ecological Footprint, which “measures resource use by estimating the amount of bioproductive land that is necessary to support a given level of consumption.” (White 403)
Target 12.3, which aims to halve per capita global food waste at both the retail and consumer level and to reduce food losses along production, can be measured quantitatively by collecting the related data.
Target 12.4 is a bit more ambiguous; …show more content…
Target 12.6 we can collect data on how many companies integrate sustainability information in their reporting cycle, and we can calculate each companies Footprint to see if their practices are sustainable.
Targets 12.7 and 12.8 are less easily measurable than the others because they can’t be measured numerically, since they deal with promotion of sustainable public procurement practices and making sure people have the proper information. One can follow up that these are happening, that promotion is being taken place through pamphlets and advertisements for example, but you cannot exactly measure these targets very effectively.
Again, for target 12.a it is difficult to measure the support given by one country to another, but we can track the developing countries strengthening of scientific and technological capabilities and measure their patterns of consumption and production and determine, using the Ecological Footprint, if these are sustainable or not.
Target 12.c can be measured by assessing the environmental impacts of certain subsidies and by seeing that these subsidies be removed or phased out in order to eliminate their harmful …show more content…
The TC-Index measures innovation in a country and “attempts to take into consideration of all the prioritized factors affecting science and technology and innovation in an integrated manner.” There is data for 61 developing countries from different regions from 2003-2008 (Khayyat, 2015).
Since there have not yet been tools developed to monitor sustainable development impacts for sustainable tourism, it has not yet been measured. However, tourism does contribute to a countries’ Ecological Footprint and so looking at this may give us an idea of how sustainable their tourism sector is.
There is information about countries that have made some kind of fossil fuel subsidy reform, including Egypt, Indonesia, and India according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, and there are green house gas reduction estimates from phasing out these subsidies in 2020 and 2050 based on different assumptions (Merrill, 2015).
