Sustainable consumption governance
Sustainable consumption governance – for a transition to low-carbon and resource efficient-economies.
Transition to a sustainable society entails changes in both sustainable production and consumption patterns and levels. This can only be achieved when a broad spectrum of actors, such as businesses, consumers, policy makers, NGOs and CSOs, and public sector, take on responsibility for the transition. The theme sustainable consumption governance aims to support actions of the stakeholders by:
- Advancing knowledge, tools and approaches on sustainable consumption governance that can help catalyse the shift to low-carbon, resource efficient & sufficient economies
- Profiling the IIIEE as a thought and action leader in sustainable consumption governance in Sweden and beyond
- Strengthening and helping consolidate Swedish and international research on sustainable consumption governance
- Advising and supporting Swedish and international policy makers and other actors with knowledge about sustainable consumption governance
