About This Trend
Among individuals and consumers, awareness is growing about the links between lifestyle and climate change. However, while the markets for sustainable lifestyle products are booming, these products tend to be targeted at wealthier consumers, limiting their long-term impacts on emission reductions. Land use decisions, availability of sustainable transportation systems, and the design of the built environment can play a role in shifting behavior and lifestyles towards more sustainability as well.
