Envisioning Lifestyles
Exploring where sustainability meets daily living
Welcome to Envisioning Lifestyles
All over the world, people are coming together for a brighter and cleaner future. With the help of our global advisory group, the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and One Earth are examining how the way we live our daily lives – our choices, habits and the context within which we live – have can have a positive effect on our planet, our communities and our wellbeing both now and in the future.
The project has now been completed. Knowledge products are due for publication in Q4 2019 and Q1 2020. Please check back for updates.
This project, Envisioning Future Low-Carbon Lifestyles and Transitioning Instruments, is a part of the Sustainable Lifestyles and Education Programme of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns.
