Baseline report on today's facts and tomorrow's trends on sustainable lifestyles published
The SPREAD project's report “Sustainable Lifestyles: Today’s Facts and Tomorrow’s Trends” provides a synthesis of research, leading policy and practice, as well as stakeholder views on potential pathways toward sustainable lifestyles. Its purpose is to provide the necessary background information to support the SPREAD social platform participants in creating a holistic vision of sustainable lifestyles in 2050 and recommendations for a plan of action.
Baseline Report on Sustainable Lifestyles.
Because of the significance of housing, transport, food, health and society, the report focuses on these key domains. It aims to understand the relationships between lifestyles, the conditions that frame those lifestyles and the resulting sustainability impacts in Europe today and in the future. In addition, it identifies promising practices from across Europe that have the potential to be examples of sustainable ways of living of the future. Existing visions, scenarios and roadmaps for more sustainable futures – from policy, research, business and civil society perspectives – are also examined in detail.
This final version of the baseline report builds upon an earlier draft version prepared for the launch conference of the SPREAD Sustainable Lifestyles 2050 project, which took place in May 2011. It has been elaborated since.
