Edited by Tim Jackson
Part of the Earthscan Reader Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Sustainable consumption is a controversial concept: politically, socially and intellectually.
Consumption drives our economies and defines our lives; making it sustainable is an enormous and essential challenge.
The World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 set in place a 10-year programme of effort by national governments to develop strategies for sustainable consumption and production.
The problem of changing consumer behaviour and making our lives more sustainable continues to challenge opinion-formers and policy-makers alike.
This book provides a coherent synthesis of key contributions to the literature on consumption and sustainability, comprising a substantive collection of selected papers and extracts from books, journals and institutional publications.
Presented with a comprehensive introductory overview, the Reader also offers an invaluable 'route map' through the complex intellectual terrain relevant to the pursuit of sustainable consumption.
