Sustainable Consumption in Environmental Issues: A Global Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable consumption is defined as the consumption of products and services in a way that minimizes environmental impact and meets consumer needs for both present and future generations. Sustainable consumption can be promoted to improve sustainable performance, meet consumer needs, increase the quality of life, enhance resource efficiency, increase renewable energy use, minimize waste, and reduce carbon emissions. As a result, sustainable consumption, which can help us to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), plays a more important role in our society. On behalf of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH), we are organizing the Special Issue “Sustainable Consumption: A Global Perspective”. IJERPH is an international peer-reviewed journal published by MDPI. This Special Issue offers an opportunity to publish high-quality interdisciplinary research that focuses on sustainable consumption. We invite colleagues from all disciplines to submit papers discussing the topics related to sustainable consumption by means of qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods approaches. In addition, we look forward to receiving a variety of manuscripts which can contribute to comprehensively improving for sustainable consumption.
