Consumption Decision

This study reviewed 82 empirical articles on sustainable consumption published during 1997 to 2014. The review explored different factors affecting sustainable consumption decision-making. The factors were categorized as personal, behavioural and socio-cultural. A taxonomic synopsis of the findings is presented in an extensive table. The paper identifies various prevalent motives, facilitators and barriers affecting sustainable consumption decision-making and provides possible explanations for inconsistencies observed in consumers' sustainable consumption behaviour. A conceptual framework is proposed that considers various motives, attitudes and barriers and explains how they are related to sustainable consumption behaviour.

Can Gio Mangrove

In the context that Vietnam develops for international integration, the government has oriented socio-economic development to develop in a sustainable way, not kind of development at all costs. This is clearly shown through the fact that ministries and governmental institutions have adjusted policies and target programs to achieve the millennium goal set by the United Nations to serve the action plan for the sustainable development of the entire nation. From the point of view of sustainable development, many countries around the world have calculated green GDP instead of normal GDP to see that economic development must be closely linked to social progress and environmental protection. Throughout many years of research on the total economic value of a system of environmental resources, especially the total economic value of the humanistic ecology system of Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, the author found that there are similarities in the calculation of green GRDP and that of the total economic value of a geographic area. This paper aims to present a conceptual framework to calculate the green GRDP for the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, using total economic value methods. The author also links the United Nations documents and the Statistics Law with the Government of Vietnam's guiding documents for implementing the law to formulate a green GRDP calculation conceptual framework using the methods of total economic value calculation. To calculate the Green GRDP of Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve by using the total economic value methods is an illustration to convince the validity of the Green GRDP Conceptual Framework. Hopefully there will be many comments from scientists and managers to be able to unify how to calculate green GRDP for mangrove areas and to move towards calculating green GRDP for the national economy, in order to manage the balance between "conservation for development" and "development for conservation" according to the trend of sustainable development.

People learn from stories, from the ways in which stories are told. In the context of this investigation, which explores the narration of the WPS agenda at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York, the stories that are told about the agenda—the events that are made prominent, the actors, the timelines, and the points of contestation—are constitutive of WPS as a knowable policy agenda in world politics. Moreover, the specific ways in which the WPS agenda is narrated function to hold open the meaning of the agenda, to resist—in fact, to render impossible—the closure of the agenda around a single and stable meaning, thus shaping and informing the futures of the agenda. This chapter develops the theoretical and conceptual framework that sustains such a claim.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2020–2030 include areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice. The topic of migrations comprises broad concepts of socio-cultural, religious, political, economic, environmental and technological movement and change. The consensus seems to be that the future lies in cooperation across disciplines. The question of this paper is: how far can social scientists go or want to go down this road?

AbstractAccording to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, approximately one third of the food produced globally is wasted, by the private sector and consumers. Reducing food waste would have an essential role in fighting world hunger, by redistributing food that is not consumed. However, achieving this goal would not only have a positive social impact, but also an economic and environmental impact. The subject of food waste is strongly tied to the objectives of several international organizations and of public institutions that have lead awareness campaigns and have developed goals and policies for the reduction of the phenomenon. Reducing food waste would contribute to the achievement of the 12th Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations, “Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”. For an efficient strategy, it is necessary that organizations and the involved people analyze and eliminate research gaps and the barriers for the reduction of food waste, both among consumers and private companies, such as producers, distributors, retailers, as well as the food service industry. The present article reviews the main challenges and barriers in achieving the reduction of food waste, both in the private sector, and among consumers. Among the main challenges that need to be tackled are the quantification of wasted food along the value chain, systematic reporting of wasted food and the evaluation of the causes of food waste.
