At the MMM 2017, an international group of scholars – among them ZIN-spokeswoman Prof.’in Doris Fuchs - assembled at the University of Muenster again, to further explore the concept of sustainable consumption corridors as a basis for the urgently needed sustainability transformation. Consumption corridors provide a strategy to integrate the pursuit of a good life, justice and sustainable development in the context of ecological and social limits. Such consumption corridors would be defined by minimum consumption standards allowing every individual to live a good life, and maximum standards guaranteeing access to sufficient resources (in terms of quantity and quality) for others, both in the present and the future.The group is currently finalizing a book manuscript on the topic.
