Evaluating achievements, challenges and future avenues for research, this book explores how new dimensions of knowledge and practice contest, reshape and advance traditional understandings of sustainable consumption governance.

‘How can we ensure a sustainable and just way of life for the Earth’s inhabitants now and into the future? This important and authoritative collection pulls no punches when setting out the scale and complexity of the task ahead. Instead it rallies with optimism and hope around the grand challenge facing this generation. This book will energise, inspire and provoke in equal measures, and is a touchstone for researchers of the future.’
– Gill Seyfang, University of East Anglia, UK

‘This book has a fresh and challenging conceptualization of sustainable consumption governance. Leading scholars provide a powerful framing of a highly needed research agenda; which is necessary to support urgently needed action to curb consumption and promote sustainable lifestyles and livelihoods. Systemic transformations and degrowing the throw-away economy are urgently needed; and books like this may help to frame a common approach.’
– Philip J. Vergragt, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, and Founding Executive Board member, Sustainable Consumption Research and Action Initiative (SCORAI)
