Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SSCP 2022)

This Collaborative Research Action focused on Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production. Current patterns of global development based on people’s continuous extraction and exploitation of natural resources are not sustainable, and a societal transition to systems of sustainable consumption and production (SSCP) is urgently needed. In an attempt to promote co-development of research through science and stakeholder-based approaches to attain SSCP, this call invited research proposals on the following themes:  
  • Transdisciplinary research to help transition to green economies with sustainable systems of consumption and production.
  • Sustainable and Resilient industries and their governance systems.
  • Social Inequality and Environmental Justice.
  • Integrating new technologies, policies, and practices into everyday life.
