OECD COP29 Virtual Pavilion

Addressing obstacles to sustainable consumption

OnlineNov 21, 2024 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Description

Many consumers concerned about the environment aim to make more sustainable choices, such as eco-friendly buying and repairing, reusing, sharing or recycling products. However, a number of obstacles – e.g. misleading environmental claims, insufficient or unclear information on the environmental impacts of products, lack of convenient and affordable sustainable options – are obstacles to them doing so. This session will present the latest OECD research on sustainable consumption, including a 2024 survey of 35,000 consumers across 18 countries incorporating behavioural experiments, and outcomes of the October 2024 Consumer Policy Ministerial Meeting on Protecting and Empowering Consumers in the Digital and Green Transitions. It will include a panel discussion on how to protect consumers against greenwashing and support them in making greener choices.
