项目摘要

Researchers have long been interested in promoting the social and economic arrangements for human welfare. As our societies become more complex, the challenges we face appear more profound forcing us to rethink our ideas about how we live our lives, our lifestyles and the impacts of our lifestyle choices on others around us.This international research project will investigate patterns of household consumption and social impacts within modern consumer societies like the UK. The research will examine and report on the distribution of living standards and conditions within and between countries. That some lives are characterised by a lack of resources - 'the poor' in consumer societies - while others have excessive lifestyles and consumption levels effecting the wellbeing of others (and future generations) due to emissions and the by-products of waste.In my research project, disparities within and between societies, and ethical and global justice issues, come to the fore. The recognition of the need to use our resources better and more fairly, in a new era of degrowth, connects with the changing discourse of sustainable social justice. The findings from this research will feed directly into policy deliberations inside and outside government, including discussion about household consumption, household green emissions and household energy consumption in modern consumer societies and the social impacts on living standards, and the environment. The project will also offer valuable lessons and advice for consumers on how best to reduce emissions and prepare for the effects of a changing climate. This research will help to raise public and government understanding and awareness of the impacts of consumption in modern consumer societies.

长期以来，研究人员一直对促进人类福利的社会和经济安排感兴趣。随着我们的社会变得更加复杂，我们面临的挑战似乎更加深刻，迫使我们重新思考我们如何生活、我们的生活方式以及我们的生活方式选择对周围其他人的影响。这项国际研究项目将调查英国等现代消费社会中的家庭消费模式和社会影响。这项研究将审查和报告国家内部和国家之间的生活水平和条件的分布情况。在我的研究项目中，社会内部和社会之间的差异，以及伦理和全球正义问题凸显出来。在我的研究项目中，一些人的生活方式和消费水平过高，由于排放和废物的副产品，影响了其他人(和后代)的福祉。认识到在一个新的衰退时代需要更好和更公平地使用我们的资源，这与不断变化的可持续社会正义的论调相联系。这项研究的结果将直接提供给政府内外的政策审议，包括关于现代消费社会中的家庭消费、家庭绿色排放和家庭能源消耗以及对生活水平和环境的社会影响的讨论。该项目还将为消费者提供宝贵的经验教训和建议，告诉他们如何最好地减少排放，并为气候变化的影响做好准备。这项研究将有助于提高公众和政府对现代消费社会中消费的影响的理解和认识。
