It frames the theme as “Innovative solutions for environmental challenges and sustainable consumption and production,” grounded in Rio+20 and the integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals. It defines “innovative solutions” broadly across policy, finance, partnerships, processes, and data, and situates sustainable consumption and production as a full life-cycle approach. It proposes three focus areas and links them to development of an implementation plan to tackle pollution. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 19, 2026
