Sustainable consumption and production is one of the 17 united nation"s sustainable. Implementation of scp helps to achieve the overall development plan: reduced future economic and social costs, strengthened economic competitiveness, reduce poverty. Begin with design for sustainability (d4s) transport marketing waste management. Increasing average wealth: more concentrated with certain groups of consumers: rich/affluent people vs. poor. Declining environmental capacity to absorb waste and emission + increasing environmental degradations. Global material extraction in billion tons: 1900 2005. Update: 70 billion tonnes of raw materials extracted (60 billion in the diagram) = unprecedented rate. Need to design and implement policies and regulations to manage the resources for. Pattern: unsustainable practice on a long term sustainable practices to take place. Metabolic rate (x-axis): raw material extraction per tonnes per capita per year. Correlation: affluence = key driver for consumption (land, carbon, water, energy, ecological footprint, resources: highly industrialised countries (wealthy countries) with high rate of raw material extraction, least developed countries (ex.
