- Abstract
The article talks about the final workshop of a 3-year project on the development and utilization of indicators for sustainable consumption in Oslo, Norway, from February 10 to 12, 2005. During the event, the growing divergence between official statements regarding the need to foster more sustainable consumption and the paucity of actual achievements meeting this objective was discussed. There are indications that the growth of personal incomes has not contributed to overall improvements in quality of life, well-being or happiness. The participants took the initiative to formulate the Oslo Declaration on Sustainable Consumption, which consists of a statement of intent and an outline of principal research questions.
