Contemporary food production and consumption cannot be regarded as sustainable raises problems with its wide scope involving diverse actors. Moreover, in the face of demographic change a growing global population, sustainability arising from systems will likely become more serious future. For example, agricultural must deal impacts climate change, increasingly challenging land-use conflicts, rising health social costs on both individual societal levels. The unsustainability current...
The United Nations formulated the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2015 as a comprehensive global policy framework for addressing most pressing social and environmental challenges currently facing humanity. In this paper, we analyse SDG 12, which aims to "ensure consumption production patterns." Despite long-standing political recognition of objective, ample scientific evidence both on its importance efficacy various ways promoting it, SDGs do not provide clear or effective guidance...
The pursuit of sustainability in particular places and sectors often unravels at the edges. Efforts to tackle environmental problems one place shift them somewhere else or are overwhelmed by external changes drivers. Gains energy efficiency appliances used houses offset greater total numbers compensating patterns use. Analytical perspectives practical initiatives, which treat production consumption jointly, needed complement experiences efforts with sector-, place-, product-...
Technological solutions to the challenge of dangerous climate change are urgent and necessary but be effective they need accompanied by reductions in total level consumption production goods services. This is for three reasons. First, private its associated among key drivers greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, especially highly emitting industrialized economies. There no evidence that decoupling economy from GHG emissions possible at scale speed needed. Second, investments more sustainable...
Abstract Cities and other human settlements are major contributors to climate change highly vulnerable its impacts. They also uniquely positioned reduce greenhouse gas emissions lead adaptation efforts. These compound challenges opportunities require a comprehensive perspective on the public policy of settlements. Drawing core literature that has driven debate around cities over recent decades, we put forward set boundary objects can be applied connect knowledge epistemic communities support...
Non-technical summary We summarize some of the past year's most important findings within climate change-related research. New research has improved our understanding about remaining options to achieve Paris Agreement goals, through overcoming political barriers carbon pricing, taking into account non-CO 2 factors, a well-designed implementation demand-side and nature-based solutions, resilience building ecosystems recognition that change mitigation costs can be justified by benefits health...
As a salutogenic concept, “consumption corridors” aims to support what is necessary for sustainable wellbeing be achieved in relation the Earth system, with deep consideration justice and equity. Living consumption corridors representation of everyday life whereby people live within limits, so that all – now future can access needed good life. In this special issue, series scholars practitioners have come together further develop engage its methodological implications, relate it domains...
The objective of this paper is to identify those areas consumption in which private households can make significant contributions environmental sustainability, and present a transparent comprehensive set indicators for them. analysis the impacts focuses on clusters that allow different life spheres be distinguished. Two criteria guided investigation relevance these clusters: (i) significance cluster terms resource consumption, (ii) potential influence compared with other actors. Resource was...
