Strategic policy objectives:
1. Promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in the single market
2. Managing an ageing population while reducing current levels of energy, transport and resource use
3. Rethinking consumption / production systems as part of a transition to low-carbon economy by 2050

Four Scenarios: Sustainable Lifestyles in 2050
Scenario boundaries8000 kg material footprint per person (current European average is 27,000 to 40,000 per person)
Key global environmental boundaries are upheld, relating to (e.g. climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater use).
Minimum requirements for socially sustainable development recognised worldwide
(e.g. inequality, life expectancy, education).

Inventing consumerism (1850-1913)
Contested Consumerism (1914-1950)
Technocratic Consumerism (1950-1989)
Participative Consumerism (1989-present)

Four Scenarios: Sustainable Lifestyles in 2050

What is the transition path to these radically different futures? What distinguishes them from our society in 2016?
What can we learn from these (possible) future shifts, to inform our approach to change today?
Exploring the radical shifts needed, to expand our horizons

How does change happen? What contribution could ‘User Innovators’ make to the transition, and how significant is it?
How might we support ‘User Innovators’ to accelerate or deepen the change they can create?

Users/ citizens/ communities innovating everything
2032 | Clara | PolandClara is a ‘Trust Architect’ in fashion. She knows she will develop a severe health condition so is using her professional skills to galvanise people that share her genetic anomaly to work together to fill gaps in research and to co-design the care services they need; using virtual networks and citizen science and funding platforms.
2019 | Sebastien | SpainSebastien’s fabrication business is failing because regulation to protect intellectual property and data privacy aren’t keeping up with the pace of technological change. As traditional lobbying is pointless, he has teamed up with other businesses around the world, to develop a digital ‘self-surveillance’ system that can detect, track and reclaim lost income.
In 2026, this gives rise to ‘Commons Policing’ in which carbon emissions are openly tracked and regulated around the world, in real-time.

Role of users in changing and developing systems
• With digital data, platforms and services everyone will have the tools to communicate their ideas, build prototypes, collaborate and use them to innovate new ways of organising, living and working - even new philosophies & beliefs.
• The potential for what can be innovated by whom is diversifying
• At speed and scale.
• Radical influence because they operate across traditional boundaries; driven by different motivations.
• On all pathways, they (co) create change by cultivating new cultural aspirations and goals; and new forms of governance.

Raises questions for creating change and impact
26
What change are we seeking?
Change is complex and uncertain and interventions have indirect impacts.
Are we ignoring or embracing this in our approach to creating long-term social and environmental change?
To what extent are we acting systemically to influence lifestyles?
Are we considering the wider context needed for us to realise our goals?
![Page 26: Scenarios for Sustainable Lifestyles in 2050: Assessing Short- and Long-Term Opportunities and Obstacles](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/58a4399b1a28ab41618b4757/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Raises questions for creating change and impact
27
Engaging ‘User Innovators’...
Users have the potential to play both enabling and resisting roles in societal change.
How might we unlock the potential of users to contribute to change?
What attention are we giving to the ‘innovator’ vs. the ‘innovation’ in our quest for impact?
Is ‘User Innovation’ always a good thing?

Citizens innovating everything
Innovation is needed at different ‘levels’ of systems, with an emphasis on cultural changes to the social structures, goals and paradigm of sub-systems (e.g. food and energy) and of society at large
1. Product and service innovations2. Place and network-related innovation3. Innovation of governance and social structures4. Paradigm innovation
