Enquête sur les Styles de vie
durable
|
A research
project aiming at analyzing student perspectives on Sustainable
Lifestyles has been launched in February 2009. The Project,
coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with the
support of the Swedish Ministry of the Environment, is developed in
partnership with the International Association of Universities (IAU).
The Global Survey on Sustainable Lifestyles is an ambitious initiative
meant to explore how sustainable lifestyles, a challenge for present
and future generations, are perceived, envisaged and shaped by young
adults from different cultures and backgrounds around the world.
Due to its global and diverse membership base IAU has become an active
partner of the Global Survey on Sustainable Lifestyles. IAU has invited
a selection of its members to actively participate in this project.
Participating universities will represent more than 24 countries in all
regions of the world (Africa, Asia/Pacific, Europe, Latin America,
North America and West Asia).
The project is part of the activities carried out in the framework of
the ‘Marrakech Process’, a global multi-stakeholder platform aimed at
promoting the shift towards Sustainable Consumption and Production
(SCP) (http://www.unep.fr/scp/marrakech).
The Marrakech Process is building cooperation between governments and
various stakeholders for the development of SCP tools, methodologies
and concrete activities such as the Global Survey on Sustainable
Lifestyles.
A selection of 50 Higher Education Institutions, Members of IAU, has
been invited to actively participate in this project.
