CASI EU presents a top 10 list of priorities for research in sustainable futures. Sustainability in lifestyles is a broad concept.
It is closely connected to the change of every day patterns of individuals. Also their approach towards food and consumption, mobility and transport, housing, education, health and recreation with strong cross-linkages with communities and interpersonal relationships plays a key role.
Sustainability in lifestyles is also determined by the specifics of the surrounding environment. Research and analysis show that current modern European lifestyles and trends result in overconsumption and overproduction. The need for a development of new types of technologies and innovations could help solving societal challenges.
