CHANGING BEHAVIOUR AND SHIFTING SOCIETY
Symposium on Sustainable Consumption

Sustainable consumption is an increasingly important theme in research and policymaking. It is concerned with identifying the fundamental drivers of consumerism, links to (un)sustainable development, and whether these drivers can be harnessed (or neutralised) in order to move towards a more sustainable society. Key topics in this theme include: modelling the impacts of consumption, consumer behaviour, social marketing, and policymaking for sustainable consumption.

The themes for the workshop therefore are:

Session 1 Enabling more sustainable behaviour
Session 2 Communicating for behavioural change
Session 3 Business and sustainable consumption
Session 4 Modelling and reporting on sustainable consumption
Session 5 Positive governance for a sustainable society.
