Hi everyone:

Here is our latest policy brief on ensuring sustainable consumption and production --just in time for back-to-school
As you are finalizing your syllabi for the new semester, you may want to use some of our Still Only One Earth policy briefs. They are all available at:https://www.iisd.org/projects/still-only-one-earth-lessons-50-years-un-sustainable-development-policy
We will release one on ozone depletion in mid-September, one on mining and minerals in mid-October and one on mercury in early November. More to come...

Regards,
Pam

Doing More with Less: Ensuring Sustainable Consumption and Production

Every year, about one third of all food produced—about 1.3 billion tonnes—is wasted, a family in the Global North throws away an average of 30 kg of clothing, and 70 million trees in endangered and ancient forests are cut down and replaced by plantations of trees used to make wood-based fabrics.

Ensuring sustainable consumption and production is one of the greatest global challenges over the past fifty years. In our latest brief, explore the debates on how we rewrite the fundamental drivers of national and international economic priorities so the world can step into the future we want.
