The implementation of sustainable consumption presents one of the
greatest challenges of our era. Consumption is a wanted and necessary
phenomenon, integral to our society and economy, yet our way of
consuming contradicts important ecological and social long-term goals.
Although research on sustainable consumption has gained in importance
and been addressed by various disciplines, this original new book is one of the few to compile and
summarize the important research findings.
Against this background, the Handbook of Research on Sustainable Consumption provides an
interdisciplinary overview of recent research on the ecological and social obstacles we face through
over consumption, drawing attention to the salience of the subject and stimulating discussion in this
area. In 27 chapters, leading authorities in the field provide concise and accessible expertise, covering
a wide range of approaches from psychology to economics.
This collection will be a useful point of reference for students, researchers and policy makers seeking
a wider understanding of the state-of-the-art of sustainable consumption research.
