A transformation towards systems of sustainable consumption and production requires many groundbreaking changes that will have to go beyond the efficiency postulates laid out in SDG 12. It will require the design of new infrastructures, governance arrangements, economic models, research agendas, financial institutions, business models and social norms. The need for transformative change is unambiguously reflected in the 2030 Agenda, but has not to date received sufficient endorsement by national governments and others. This event will open up a debate about how strong demand-side policies and social innovations could contribute to sustainable lifestyles and a culture of sufficiency.
