Building societal capacity for sustainable consumption is vital if the destructive impacts of current patterns of development and lifestyle choices are to be reversed. Directly relevant to the 'Sustainability' and 'Good Health' National Research Priorities, this research will develop the change-agent potential of a significant, high spending consumer class - youth and young adults. The research will result in practical guidelines and program materials for youth organizations to use in capacity building for change leadership. The resultant modelling and encouragement of sustainable consumption through 'purchasing differently' will help stimulate the growth of sustainable products and services in Australia.

如果要扭转目前发展模式和生活方式选择的破坏性影响，就必须建立可持续消费的社会能力。与“可持续发展”和“良好健康”国家研究重点直接相关的是，这项研究将开发一个重要的、高消费的消费者阶层——青年和年轻人——的变革代理人潜力。研究结果将为青年组织提供实用的指导方针和项目材料，用于变革领导的能力建设。由此产生的模型和鼓励可持续消费通过“不同的购买”将有助于刺激可持续产品和服务在澳大利亚的增长。
