Sustainable Lifestyles course.
The central promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to take transformative steps to shift the world on a sustainable and resilient path. This is only possible if we collectively rethink the way we live and how we consume, making conscious choices toward more Sustainable Lifestyles.
To have clarity about our choices, it is important to assess the impacts that our current behaviours and consumption patterns have on the planet and make lifestyle choices that contribute to sustainability. Lifestyles are different according to each group and region, and even though there is no “one solution fits all” when moving towards sustainable living, it is possible to come up with solutions and initiatives that are better adapted to each reality.
This course explores Sustainable Lifestyles in the context of the 2030 Agenda, advancing the understanding of how our lifestyle choices impact the world around us and how we can find ways for everyone to live better and with a lighter impact.
