Australia is facing a world in which the material demands of developing nations are putting pressure on global resources, at the same time as effects of economic activity on the earth's climate are leading to questions about the planet's sustainability. Efforts to mandate changes in consumption patterns are likely to be politically unpopular and lead to a loss of social welfare. This research will investigate ways in which choices between current and future consumption can be framed to maximize voluntary consumer choices for sustainable futures. It will allow the demand side of negative environmental trends to be addressed, reducing the pressure on the supply side without the loss of consumer sovereignty.

澳大利亚正面临着这样一个世界：发展中国家的物质需求正给全球资源带来压力，与此同时，经济活动对地球气候的影响正引发人们对地球可持续性的质疑。强制改变消费模式的努力很可能在政治上不受欢迎，并导致社会福利的损失。这项研究将探讨如何在当前和未来的消费之间做出选择，以最大限度地提高消费者对可持续未来的自愿选择。这将使负面环境趋势的需求侧得到解决，减少供应侧的压力，同时又不会失去消费者的主权。
