In early March 2021, ZIN spokesperson Doris Fuchs and a team of seven international authors, including ZIN staff member Tobias Gumbert as well as Marlyne Sahakian, Antonietta Di Giulio, Michael Maniates, Sylvia Lorek and Antonia Graf, published the book "Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Live within Sustainable Limits".
In their work, the authors address the question of how we can live a good life without overstepping planetary boundaries. They explain concepts that should help us live a better life and identify those factors that stand in the way.
The model of consumption corridors they outline links the satisfaction of needs to limits on consumption, social justice, and environmental sustainability.
By identifying both lower and upper limits to consumption in civil society discourse, consumption corridors not only protect natural resources, but also guarantee higher quality of life, equitable distribution, and greater freedom for all.
