3. Consumption and production systems have gone global.

4. Global production and consumption systems fail to achieve fair distribution of resources.

5. Global production and consumption systems are not mindful of planetary limits. “ ... there is a direct link between the financial crisis and the ecological crisis. To the extent that ecological limits restrict the growth rates of earnings, stock prices will fall.” Carsten Henningsen, co-founder of the global sustainability fund Portfolio 21.

8. Who is the civil society? Academia/Research Institution Activist Group Charity Policy Institution Club Not-For-Profit Organisation NGO Community Organisation Foundation Environmental NGO Youth Group Cultural/Ethnic/Gender Group Cooperative Consumers Association/Organisation Trade Union Support Group Religious Organisation Professional Association Private Voluntary Organisation Any legal entity that is non-governmental, not-for-profit, not representing commercial interest and pursuing a common purpose in the public interest.

9. Civil society is part of the triangle of change Government Business Civil Society “ Participation of all actors in society is needed to achieve sustainable consumption and production . None of these actors can change unsustainable patterns alone, but together they can form a so-called triange of change . Actors are ready to change their behaviour if they know that others are doing their bit.“ UK Sustainable Consumption Roundtable, 2006

12. The challenge of Sustainable Consumption & Production Focus on food&drink, mobility and housing: Together these impact areas account for approximately 70-80% of environmental impacts arising from all products over their life cycles. Impact categories thereby range from global warming, acidification, photochemical ozone formation to eutrophication.* Housing Food & Drink Mobility Others *Source: EIPRO Study 2006, NAMEA Study 2006, WI 1998
