From efficiency to sufficiency: results from the first four years of Mistra Sustainable Consumption
The research programme Mistra Sustainable Consumption involves around 20 researchers and societal partners who explore how sustainable consumption can become more mainstream. During the first phase, the focus was on sustainable practices in relation to food, furnishing, and travel, and how more sustainable consumption in these areas can be promoted through business, civil society, and public policy.
A new article summarises the results of Mistra Sustainable Consumption's first four years, which have explored different transition strategies.
– There is no shortage of ideas. When we have studied what is being done, and what could be done, in the spheres of business, civil society and the public sector we see that there is an abundance of proposals, says Karin Bradley, Professor at the Department of Urban Planning and Environment and one of the article’s authors.
