Informed by a number of disciplinary perspectives, \u003cem\u003eChallenging Consumption\u003c\/em\u003e is structured around four key themes in sustainable consumption research: Living, Moving, Dwelling and Futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection successfully balances theoretical insights with grounded case studies, on mobility, heating, washing and eating practices, and concludes by exploring future sustainable consumption research pathways and policy recommendations.
