One Planet Multi-Partner Trust Fund 

ObjectivesFund scope

The One Planet Multi-Partner Trust Fund (One Planet MPTF) is a collaborative platform that addresses challenges related to SDG 12 and sustainable consumption and production. Fund partners rely on their collective expertise and resources to assist global partners and national governments in implementing projects that address roadblocks to achieving SDG 12 or overcome fragmented approaches.  

Fund action is designed to meet four strategic objectives:  

• Be an effective conduit for achieving SDG 12 targets. 
• Kick-start ambitious action by offering tools and solutions that support the uptake of sustainable consumption and production.  
• Lead the implementation of SDG 12 practices.  
• Demonstrate the far-reaching and positive benefits of sustainable consumption and production, and how it addresses current environmental and social challenges. 

Whether directly or indirectly, achievements under SDG 12 contribute significantly to all other Sustainable Development Goals. The Fund expands the availability of, and access to, financial resources in support of actions that are transformational and draw non-traditional development partners into the fold, like private and public sector corporations, or financial institutions.  

Theory of change and strategic framework 

One Planet MPTF leads transformative change towards the adoption and growth of sustainable consumption and production practices. Implementing innovative approaches and projects through global (35%) and national (65%) streams increases the amount of change in practices towards SDG 12, and creates opportunities for applying and scaling up tools and solutions, increases sustainable consumption commitments, and addresses environmental and social challenges linked to SDG 12. 

Thematic areas covered by the Fund include sustainable food systems; sustainable lifestyle and education; consumer information; sustainable tourism; sustainable buildings and construction, and sustainable public procurement.
