Life course approach for sustainable consumption policy design
This policy brief advocates for a life-course approach to sustainable consumption policy, arguing that life transitions (e.g., retirement, parenthood) provide critical windows for behavioral change. Using a case study of older adults in Bangkok, it highlights that provisioning systems (infrastructure and social structures) and factors like cost and convenience often outweigh environmental values. The authors call for systems-thinking policies that address "lock-in" effects and prioritize absolute consumption reductions to ensure a fair transition to sustainability.
