Baltic University Programme - A regional university network

BUP Students' Conference 2012
Towards Sustainable Consumption
18 - 22 April (Wednesday-Sunday) 2012
Rogów, Poland

Consumers’ behaviour is key to the impact that society has on the environment. The actions that people take and choices they make – to consume certain products and services or to live in certain ways rather than others – all have direct and indirect impacts on the environment, as well as on personal (and collective) well-being. This is why the topic of ‘sustainable consumption’ has become a central focus for national and international policy.
