This report provides strategic guidance for key decision-makers in Malmö to identify and implement measures that leverage a sufficiency-oriented approach to help achieve climate goals. A sufficiency approach entails examining what is “enough” for a good life and the ways that basic needs can be met without excessive resource use. The rationale stems from a recognition that overconsumption is a key part of the climate problem, and that fundamental changes must be made to reduce consumption.
