The Earthscan Reader on Sustainable ConsumptionAuthor(s): Tim Jackson\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Earthscan Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781844071647, 978-1844071647\nSynopsis\nSustainable consumption is a controversial concept: politically, socially and intellectually. \nConsumption 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. \nThis 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. .
