Abstract

The United Nations supports 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), self-described as ambitious and interconnected, aimed at addressing a range of development challenges facing countries worldwide. SDG 12 aims to "ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns" through 11 targets. In this context, this paper proposes a link between the antibiotic crisis and item 4 of SDG 12 and presents anthropogenic factors related to the goal not being achieved by 2020. Although regulated, the paper addresses the contexts of the agricultural and food industries, as well as arbitrary waste management, which allow the spread of resistant microorganisms in the environment. This paper was produced by students from two postgraduate programs as a final project for their course and proposes to discuss antimicrobial resistance as a public health problem in light of SDG 12, focusing on target 12.4 as the guiding principle.
