From October 29 – November 1, 2014, the One Earth team gathered with researchers, policy experts, municipal governments, and NGO representatives from across North America in Eugene, Oregon for the “The Role of Cities in Advancing Sustainable Consumption” workshop.
Sponsored by The Sustainable Consumption Research and Action Initiative (SCORAI) and the Urban Sustainability Director’s Network (USDN), this workshop was a unique opportunity to examine what action cities can take to promote sustainable consumption at the community scale. The workshop was attended by Vanessa Timmer, Bill Rees, Jennie Moore, and Rosemary Cooper on behalf of One Earth / Cities for People who also participated in early design of this workshop and are active in the follow-up documentation and working group. The workshop idea originated at the meeting of the North American Roundtable on Sustainable Production and Consumption (NARSPAC).
Further details (including the workshop agenda, list of participants, and selected presentation slides) are available here on the City of Eugene’s workshop.
SCORAI posted an overview of the workshop and links to the videos on their website here.
The recording of a follow-up webinar organized by the West Coast Climate and Materials Management Forum is available here.
Videos of all the key presentations and plenary sessions can be found here.
