    Final Consumption and Sustainability – Contribution of Consumer Law

  • Original language description

    From the legal point of view, it is important to scrutinise why legislative instruments are very rarely used for a more sustainable nudging of end-consumers and why the intertwining of environmental and consumer law to tackle climate change is still missing. It seems that European consumer law still puts more effort into the achievement of the single market, which is key to stimulating European economic growth, rather than examining the negative impact of consumerism and to reduce them. On the one hand, it should be underlined that Consumer choice is limited to the products available on the market, because most of a product´s environmental impact is determined at the design stage. On the other hand, it should be possible to enhance more sustainable consumption with well-designed legal requirements.nThis paper will first clarify - after a short introduction to the concept of sustainable consumption as a binding universal call - (1) why final consumption matters and what are the limits of citizens’ capacity towards sustainable consumption (2). Second, it will analyse how European legislation tackles sustainable production and consumption, with a main focus on more sustainable contract law ensured by the pioneer Member States (3). Finally, it will identify the uncovered consumer issues that should be urgently tackled in the near future to achieve changes in consumer habits (4).
