Abstract

Europe and the world face unprecedented sustainability challenges, largely as a result of unsustainable consumption. Since consumption levels in Europe are expected to continue to rise, technological gains and further efficiency improvements appear to be insufficient to keep environmental and climate pressures within sustainable limits. A more circular economy in Europe has the potential to reduce environmental and climate pressures and impacts from our consumption, but will require substantially transforming consumption and production systems. This report show trends in European household consumption and its resulting environmental and climate pressures and explores conditions and pathways to move to sustainable and circular consumption in Europe.
