Meeting of the working group „Sustainable Consumption“ of the German Committee for Sustainability Research in Future Earth with ZIN-spokeswoman Prof. Doris Fuchs
The German Committee for Sustainability Research Future Earth is a national platform for scientists and a scientific advisory body for sustainability on the global level. Considering the central importance of consumption for a successful transformation to global sustainability, the working group on Sustainable Consumption concentrates on the implications of consumption patterns and strategies for changing them. The focus is on the definition and investigation of so-called transformation corridors, which take into account both “claims to minimum consumption standards” and “maximum tolerable consumer-induced loads" (own translation).
