Trends in sustainable development: towards sustainable consumption and production [1]

The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation refers to sustainable consumption and production (SCP), along with poverty eradication
and conservation of the natural resource base, as essential precondition for sustainable development. The idea of sustainable development contains within it the completion of three transitions: demographic, development, and decoupling. The demographic transition is at a mature stage and global population will level off around 9 billion later this century, and the share of urban population will expand briskly, especially in developing countries. This volume reviews progress towards achieving these interlinked challenges, focusing first on broad trends in resource use, then turning to drivers of resource depletion and environmental degradation, and finally examining the major initiatives of governments, business and civil society to shift towards sustainable consumption and production patterns.
