Webinar: How to talk about consumption without talking about consumption

ReLondon hosted webinar exploring the trepidation around talking about consumption – how we consume ‘stuff’, including food, and how we ask citizens to consume less or differently.

In this session, we discuss research about people’s relationship with consumption and sustainability; and give examples of communications and campaigns that have done it well (or not so well).

We delve into the barriers around talking about consumption – for policymakers, businesses, communities, individuals – and discuss what needs to change to help engage citizens more effectively and motivate behaviour change towards more sustainable lifestyles at the pace and scale needed to help tackle the climate emergency.
