Ending Our Consumer Addiction

How can we end our intense consumer addiction and change our habits and values to be more sustainable? In this lecture Environment Professor Jacqueline McGlade will look at patterns of consumption and the concepts of sufficiency in communities across the world, linking them not only to poverty and wealth but also to ecosystem health. She will look at how we can achieve UN sustainable development goal 12, to 'ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns'.https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-consumption-production/A lecture by Jacqueline McGlade 14 JanuaryThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/unsustainable-consumptionGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
