Over the past nine months, more than 50 citizens have been working to formulate a vision and recommendations for a future of sustainable consumption. More than 4400 hours of work over seven weekend days, online meetings, an open public meeting, editorial meetings and much more have been used to develop concrete recommendations.
The citizens’ recommendations consist of an introduction and call to action, a vision, a value base, 13 main recommendations, and a number of specific ranked recommendations. The recommendations cover everything from taxes, to the transition of agriculture, to the way we live, and much more. In addition to the citizens’ recommendations, in the Citizens’ Assembly Sustainable Consumption’s recommendation report you can read more about the background of the Citizens’ Assembly, the composition of the members, the individual assemblies, statements from experts, the Advisory Board and the third-party secretariat, and much more.
