Task Force on Sustainable Lifestyles

The findings presented here are from a four-year project to explore ways to engage, exemplify, enable and encourage people, civil society organisations and governments to further sustainability in people's everyday lives. The international Marrakech Task Force on Sustainable Lifestyles, led by the Swedish Ministry of the Environment, is one of seven international Task Forces that have been launched on specific sustainable consumption and production (SCP) themes, in order to accelerate a regional and national shift towards SCP. The Task Force gathered best practice examples from developed and developing countries from ongoing work around the world and supported new projects to fill gaps in knowledge. Despite the Task Force ending, many of the projects will continue under the newly established Partnership for Education and Research about Responsible Living (PERL). The report includes a Manifesto setting out the top line recommendations from the Task Force.
