Summary
Visions for Change: Recommendations
for Effective Policies on Sustainable Lifestyles
This
publication
and its Country
Papers provide recommendations to develop efficient
sustainable lifestyles policies and initiatives based on the Global
Survey on Sustainable Lifestyles (GSSL). It is aimed at policy-makers
and all relevant stakeholders on how best to help support the
shift to sustainable lifestyles, for instance through effective
communication and awareness-raising campaigns. The survey, which
involved 8,000 young urban adults from 20 different countries,
points to three key dimensions of empowerment and creativity:
new visions of progress, behavioural alternatives, as well as
trust and participation. The report highlights the need for working
together to better comprehend, educate and empower young adults
globally, to enable them to create their own positive visions
of sustainable lifestyles, and therefore become actors of change.
The country
papers present results of the GSSL country by country and
provide insight into country-specific conditions, culture, economic
development and other factors affecting lifestyles. The GSSL was
jointly developed by UNEP and the Task Force on Sustainable Lifestyles,
which was led by Sweden from 2005-2009, in the framework of the
Marrakech Process on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP).
