Consumption Corridors Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits

"This lively, reader-friendly book sets out the case for 'consumption corridors' - a novel route to enjoyable but sustainable lives for all of us in the rich world of the 2020s. It makes a compelling - almost obvious - case, clarifies the obstacles, and sketches a practical vision to propel us on the journey to 'living well within limits'."

Ian Gough, Visiting Professor in CASE and Associate of GRI, London School of Economics, UK

"This book masterfully explains why sustainable limits, in the form of consumption corridors, are a central concept for addressing fundamental issues of justice and power, and to imagine workable pathways to a better future. Too often sustainability remains apolitical and vague: sustainable consumption corridors bring research into the reality we all need to transform."

Julia K. Steinberger, Professor of Societal Challenges of Climate Change, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

"Dominant understandings of sustainability over the past three decades have maintained a resolute fixation on efficiency improvements and individualized strategies of social change. These conceptions have also fetishized technological breakthroughs and underplayed the existence of biophysical limits. By placing sufficiency at the center of transformation, the notion of consumption corridors opens credible and equitable windows of opportunity for system innovation that can meaningfully engage all global citizens."
