The United Nations has 17 Sustainable Development Goals that contain ambitious objectives for member countries to meet by 2030. As of 2023, only 15% of these objectives were on track for success.One such goal is Goal nine focusing on \u201csustainable industrialisation\u201d. This idea seems oxymoronic when industrialisation is so historically linked with environmental damage. In this episode of The Big Question, Angela Barnes is joined by Christophe Yvetot, the EU representative for the UN Industrial Development Organization, to discuss how countries can grow economically while still staying green.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How does \u201csustainable industrialisation&#8221; work?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n\u201cThe wealth that we have is because we were industrialised. We all benefit from the services and products that are created every day,\u201d Yvetot explained. \u201cSo now the big challenge is to make sure that everything that is produced has the least impact on the environment. \u201d According to the European Commission, in 2022 alone, the EU produced 2,233 million tonnes of waste. Of that, 71% came from construction, manufacturing and mining and quarrying. \u201cThe word \u2018waste\u2019 should be eliminated from the vocabulary because waste doesn&#8217;t exist,\u201d Yvetot added. \u201cIt&#8217;s only raw materials that you haven&#8217;t found a way to use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yvetot wants us to rethink the way that societies engage with waste, insisting that this sort of \u2018circular economy\u2019 wouldn\u2019t just have environmental benefits. \u201cWe see not only that it decreases the cost of production, but also you create new jobs because instead of wasting or throwing away raw material, you use it to create new industries on this basis,\u201d Yvetot said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why is industrialisation an important part of the SDGs?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nWhile sometimes it might be hard to see how all the sustainable goals can work hand in hand, Christophe emphasised that achieving one goal can have great benefits on other targets. \u201cWhat we have seen with the new report is that, every time that you have more industry in the GDP or in the wealth of a country, you have quasi-automatically more human development. \u201cIt means more access to education, more access to health services, more life expectancy, more equality between men and women. So you have a direct impact on social goals, on human goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christophe spent five years posted in Senegal. From his experiences there, he suggested as an example that, if money were invested to reduce \u2018post-harvest losses\u2019 from fruit production by transforming it locally into juice, it would also directly impact goals on poverty, hunger and equality.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2024\/10\/21\/waste-doesnt-exist-how-can-we-build-sustainable-industry\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2024\/10\/21\/waste-doesnt-exist-how-can-we-build-sustainable-industry\">Euronews Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/waste-doesnt-exist-how-can-we-build-sustainable-industry\/\">\u2018Waste doesn\u2019t exist\u2019: How can we build sustainable industry?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[13406,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-134769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-sustainable-industry","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
