Mission
SCORAI-Global (Sustainable Consumption Research and Action Initiative) is an international knowledge network of researchers and practitioners committed to building a flourishing and ecologically-sound society by changing the way we consume.
We advance research, disseminate knowledge, impact policies and support campaigns. SCORAI-Global recognizes that technological innovation alone is insufficient to address climate change and environmental threats. Therefore we support transformative changes in the economy, institutions and culture.

Regional Chapters
SCORAI was founded in 2008 in the USA in order to build connections among researchers and practitioners working on sustainable consumption. Since its modest beginning as a North America-focused network, it has become a global organization with approximately 1400 members in 2020.
When the vibrancy and size of SCORAI participants in Europe, Israel, China and Brazil reached a critical mass, they created their own identities as SCORAI affiliates. SCORAI-Global supports coordination and communication with regional affiliates via its newsletter, listserv and by organizing semi-annual coordination meetings.
