Sustainable Consumption (SC) shares a number of common features with and is closely linked to the terms sustainable production and sustainable development. Sustainable Consumption as part of sustainable development is a prerequisite in the world-wide struggle against sustainability challenges such as climate change, famines or environmental pollution. Sustainable development as well as sustainable consumption rely on certain premises such as * Wise use of resources, and minimisation of waste and pollution; * Use of renewable resources within their capacity for renewal; * Fuller product life-cycles; and * Intergenerational and intragenerational equity ==The Oslo Definition== The definition proposed by the 1994 Oslo Symposium on Sustainable Consumption defines it as "the use of services and related products which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations." 〔Source: Norwegian Ministry of the Environment (1994) Oslo Roundtable on Sustainable Production and Consumption.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sustainable consumption」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
