Future Earth Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production Knowledge-Action Network Online Conference 2022

Transitioning to Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production:  From Knowledge to Action

8 – 17 November 2022; Online Zoom and Slack

The need for systems of sustainable consumption and production is increasingly urgent, now more than ever. Far-reaching changes are required, but many challenges remain: How to transition to SSCP, build resilient, zero-impact industries and governance, overcome systemic inequality and injustice, and integrate new technologies, policies, and practices into everyday life? The SSCP KAN’s role is to provide a platform to tackle these challenges in a way that leads to real-world action and impact. This conference will be an opportunity to meet these challenges by showcasing examples of bridging research and knowledge production with implementation, education, and action. You are invited to join the discussion!
