"Humanity’s rapacious consumption is more than Earth and its climate can
handle, which is driving an ecological crisis. Australians are the worst
offenders per person due to our excessive resource use.
At the same time, people in some parts of the world lack the material goods to
meet their basic needs, while many people in wealthier societies have more than
enough to live comfortably.
That’s where the concept of “sufficiency” can help. It’s a policy approach
gaining momentum around the world. It aims to avoid demand for energy,
materials, land and water, and ensure wellbeing for all humans, while staying
within planetary boundaries.
What does this mean in practice? Workplaces closer to homes, public transport
systems that everyone can access and afford, and reducing cars on the road.
Sharing building spaces. Providing enough housing, goods, clothing and food to
meet our needs, but not exceed them."
