abstract: Since Rio 1992 sustainable consumption became a political concept towards sustainable development and made its way to several political agendas. Nearly two decades later the world is still far away from sustainability. With 20% of the population being responsible for 80% of the resource consumption and a worldwide ecological footprint of 2.2 ha per capita which exceeds the available area by 23%, the world is not even close to sustainable consumption, especially in the developed countries. The first question to answer is: what is behind sustainable consumption as a normative vision for consumers? After defining the basics the lecture will focus on different strategies to foster sustainable consumption patterns. More efficient products and consistent lifecycles may help to reduce resource usage but consumption patterns and consumer habits still need to be changed. To raise awareness and to support the consumer in these complex decisions information is needed. The "Sustainable Shopping Basket" as an information policy tool by the German government will be presented. As a guide for sustainable consumption, the brochure provides the consumer with hints and helpful routines and it rates the different product labels that help to identify more sustainable products. After these introduction to the basics, strategies and instruments of sustainable consumption the focus shifts to consumer behavior and different consumer decisions. Talking about consumer behavior the next point to discuss is the role of lifestyle for a sustainable consumption. What kind of consumption patterns defines a sustainable lifestyle? And can a lifestyle concept be seen as a solution to pollution, emissions and the overexploitation of 2 natural resources? These questions will lead to a closer look on the so called LOHAS and its impact on sustainable development. With not one lifestyle but several different decisions a consumer makes, one has to ask for the big points where a change in consumption patterns has the strongest effect on resource usage or emissions. To achieve a change a realistic perspective is necessary. A change in consumption patterns is highly unrealistic in some so called big points. To answer the question which key points matters for a change and which are likely to achieve, results of a German study will be presented to give insides to this approach. Big points, key points and the responsibility for a change in consumption patterns differ from country to country, even from region to region. These differences can be seen as a starting point for future discussions about sustainable consumption in a globalized world.
