MISTRA Sustainable Consumption is a cross-disciplinary research project with partners from Lund University, Luleå University of Technology, Linköping University, Chalmers University of Technology, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. It seeks to provide in-depth knowledge on how and under what conditions sustainable niche practices can become more mainstream and how the transition to sustainable consumption practices can be accelerated.
The enablers derived from MISTRA Sustainable Consumption point in several different directions and affect society differently. Any changes enacted politically would have to have popular support, which means development of enablers requires an understanding of how different groups conceive of just and sustainable consumption patterns. Changing the Game of Consumption offers participants the chance to enact the changes they would like to see, and explore their society-wide consequences over the course of a day. Having participated in a game session is intended to a foster deeper understanding of systems-level relationships between enablers and stakeholders, and provide feedback to MISTRA Sustainable Consumption around perceptions of enablers.
Funding
