Sustainable and resilient societies

Laying the foundations for human dignity and well-being will require making societies sustainable and resilient. Sustainable societies will ensure that the natural resource base upon which human well-being depends is maintained in the long-term. That means providing an ongoing source of water, energy and food security; keeping the environment healthy and promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns. Resilient societies will address risks to their people, assets and infrastructure arising from natural disasters, pollution, natural resource depletion and climate change, and conserve marine and terrestrial ecosystems to achieve a healthy and productive environment.
