In some instances, energy consumption can be reduced by 50 80 per cent depending on the current level of use efficiency.

These resources continue to be threatened as our current patterns of consumption and production undermine the sustainability of the resource base upon which we depend.

Activate rural consumption, guide the demand for healthy consumption.

We're actually measuring its oxygen consumption, its energy consumption.

I was personally reminded of the current global energy imbalance on a recent trip to Nigeria, where per capita electricity consumption is only about 70 kilowatt hours per year.

Is it not the case that the problem in the US has been too little savings, rather than too much? Doesn t the country s persistent current account deficit reflect excessive consumption, rather than weak effective demand?

By the year 2030, our per capita consumption of electricity is expected to rise to only 3,920 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year, as compared with the current 13,800 kWh per year in the developed world.

We are just beginning to appreciate the extent to which current patterns of industrial activity, including energy production and consumption, are unsustainable in terms of the three pillars of sustainable development, economically, socially and environmentally.

And what I mean by that is that we can move from mindless consumption to mindful consumption. Right?

Experts have pointed out that in addition to basic tourist consumption, experience is a more important consumption element.

125 A5 countries have reported their consumption data for 2002, of these, 62 countries reported zero MB consumption.

For activating rural consumption, it is necessary to rely on the normalization mechanism to purify the market, guide the demand for healthy consumption, and enhance the sense of gain in farmers consumption.

China faces a similar demographic trend, and also a push to unleash household consumption in order to sustain GDP growth. As in Japan, the downward trend in China s saving rate will show up in its current account.

Emerging market countries run current account surpluses, while advanced economies have deficits. One would expect fast growing, capital scarce (and young) developing countries to be importing capital from the rest of world to finance consumption and investment.

Individuals may have come to value future consumption, in retirement, over current consumption the reverse of the traditional relationship. We are beginning to appreciate that in our productive years we must work harder, because our retirement years will be longer and healthier, and the income support provided by our governments and employers will be far less generous than they used to be.

This is analogous to the idea of diminishing marginal private utility of private consumption, and is relatively uncontroversial, although researchers disagree on its magnitude.

China s three decades of 10 annual hyper growth led to unsustainable strains outsize resource and energy needs, environmental degradation and pollution, and mounting income inequality. Huge Chinese current account surpluses resulted from too much saving and too little consumption.

Sweden accumulated a current account surplus of 53 of GDP, in contrast to America s 48 of GDP deficit. Employment rose by 11 , and blue collar workers wages increased by 24 , fueling a more than 30 surge in private consumption.
