In particular, there is a need to de link natural resource consumption from economic growth, so that growth in the economy does not lead to a concomitant growth in natural resource consumption.

Only new patterns of consumption and production a new economic model can address that most fundamental resource problem.

Forest resource issues have however been addressed primarily as part of an analysis of energy consumption in sub Saharan Africa, where fuelwood and charcoal are the major energy sources, particularly for household consumption.

In fact, to meet the challenge of restructuring China s economy away from exports and resource intensive goods, China must stimulate consumption.

Careful resource management can be applied at many scales, from economic sectors like agriculture, manufacturing and industry, to work organizations, the consumption patterns of households and individuals and to the resource demands of individual goods and services.

In order to minimize the excessive resource consumption associated with driving, the vehicles would be tailored to trip characteristics, such as the number of passengers.

The old manufacturing model, which fueled an unprecedented 20 fold increase in per capita income relative to the early 1990 s, also sowed the seeds of excessive resource consumption and environmental degradation.

At every level, there is a consciousness of environmental limits and the realization that the resource intensive consumption patterns now accepted in the United States would be a disaster for China and for the world.

Happy consumption

As it stands, the closest approximation to this approach in the United States is marijuana production. With such high value crops, it is worth honing the details of cultivation to ensure quality and minimize resource consumption.

A downshift to this more sustainable pace would provide welcome relief for an economy long plagued by excess resource consumption, labor market bottlenecks, excess liquidity, a large buildup of foreign exchange reserves, and mounting inflationary pressures.

Several internal factors excess resource consumption, environmental degradation, and mounting income inequalities are calling the old model into question, while a broad constellation of US centric external forces also attests to the urgent need for realignment.

The Plan encourages an accelerated shift towards sustainable consumption and production, where appropriate de linking economic growth and environmental degradation through improved efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources and reduced resource degradation, pollution and waste.

The consumption discount rate should account for the possibility that, as consumption grows, the marginal unit of consumption may be considered to have less social value.

(e) Consumption in 2002 was higher than the Baseline because consumption grew rapidly from 2000.

Only consumption is lagging.
