The SCORAI Network convened its inaugural workshop on the theme of Individual Consumption and Systemic Societal Transformation. Scientists, academics, and practitioners from across North America met at Clark University on October 15-17, 2009 to explore approaches and the potential impact of sustainable consumption at the individual and household level. Invitees to this two-day event considered challenges at the interface of material consumption, human fulfillment, lifestyle satisfaction, and technological change.
The goals of the meeting were to:
1. Design a coherent North American research program
2. Forge connections between scholars and communities of practice, and
3. Contribute to the ongoing policy dialogue on these issues.
