This document summarizes a SWOT analysis of two UN sustainable development goals in an Australian context. For goal 12.3 on halving food waste, the strengths include current food waste reduction programs by retailers, while weaknesses are the large amount of household food waste currently sent to landfills. Opportunities lie in reduced household spending allowing less waste, while threats include natural disasters exacerbating food losses. For goal 11.4 on protecting cultural and natural heritage, strengths encompass protecting significant sites, while weaknesses include a lack of reported data. Opportunities include recognizing more indigenous cultural areas, while threats involve negative government perspectives and disasters potentially destroying heritage sites.
