Zusammenfassung englisch
The concept of ‘Planetary Boundaries’ quantifies the limits on the Earth system. The report explores the question on how consumption patterns could look like which are globally transferable, compatible with German consumption levels and remain within planetary boundaries. The report examines this question based on average consumption patterns in Germany. It develops and outlines six exemplary consumption patterns as personas which are possible within planetary boundaries.Through the consumption perspective, the report makes tangible what life within planetary boundaries could look like. It provides guidelines for consumer behaviour in a future, defossilised world and outlines potential globally generalisable and connectable consumption patterns.
