Sustainable production and consumption
Abstract
We live in a world where every little thing has to be faster and bigger, where the amount of resources we use is constantly increasing and where our impact on the environment is becoming very worrying. Some argue that this globalization is necessary for a global market, where each nation can perform in what they are the best at. In this context, Sustainable Development students from KULEUVEN got together to share their experiences and speak about the SDG 12, “Sustainable Consumption and Production”. Do alternative systems exist? What can we do at our own scale? They will share projects and initiatives that allow us to slow down and live in a more sustainable way. This “Sustainable Podcast” takes place in the podcast channel “Thoughts for a more Sustainable World”.
