At this conference, national and international representatives of governments, science, civil society and businesses are invited to discuss in plenaries and dialogue forums and to contribute ideas and approaches to move forward with SDG implementation in Germany and internationally. The conference will focus on partnerships and the need to sustainably manage natural resources and change consumption and production patterns. The conference features a dialogue forum on food waste.

As part of the conference "Jump-starting the SDGs in Germany", the dialogue forum "Consume with care: Food waste and the Sustainable Development Goals" takes place on May 3rd. Target 12.3 of the SDGs addresses food waste. It states that by 2030 per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels should be halved and food losses along production and supply chains be reduced.

This interactive forum discusses what measures and incentives are required to achieve this target. Focus will be on food waste at the retail and consumer level. Case studies (e.g. on regulatory measures, food redistribution schemes, and best-practices at the retail and consumer level) will examine what measures already exist in developed and developing countries. The forum will also discuss how and what type of partnerships can facilitate the transformation to more sustainable consumption patterns.
