Abstract: Abstract The world is facing unique environmental challenges. There is a record loss of biodiversity and long-term damage to ecosystems; pol-lution of the atmosphere and the consequences of climate change; waste production and disposal; natural resource depletion; the impact of using chemicals and toxic substance disposal; damaged aquatic ecosystems and land degradation. There is a need to iden-tify the options to reduce and eliminate unsustainable volumes and patterns of production and consumption to ensure that the resource consumption per person becomes sustainable.
