“…A growing body of research studies are confirming the relations between anti-consumption patterns and increased personal well-being (Hüttel et al 2020;Lee and Ahn 2016;Seegebarth et al 2016). Further findings in this direction might support the implementation of anticonsumption in broader contexts, as well-being is a universal goal of consumer policy (Mathios et al 2020). Nevertheless, additional research is needed regarding the causes, development, and effects of anti-and pro-consumption as conflicting motivational paths to personal well-being.…”

As overconsumption has negative effects on ecological balance, social equality, and individual well-being, reducing consumption levels among the materially affluent is an emerging strategy for sustainable development. Today’s youth form a crucial target group for intervening in unsustainable overconsumption habits and for setting the path and ideas on responsible living. This article explores young people’s motivations for engaging in three behavioural patterns linked to anti-consumption (voluntary simplicity, collaborative consumption, and living within one’s means) in relation to sustainability. Applying a qualitative approach, laddering interviews reveal the consequences and values behind the anti-consumption behaviours of young people of ages 14 to 24 according to a means-end chains analysis. The findings highlight potential for and the challenges involved in motivating young people to reduce material levels of consumption for the sake of sustainability. Related consumer policy tools from the fields of education and communication are identified. This article provides practical implications for policy makers, activists, and educators. Consumer policies may strengthen anti-consumption among young people by addressing individual benefits, enabling reflection on personal values, and referencing credible narratives. The presented insights can help give a voice to young consumers, who struggle to establish themselves as key players in shaping the future consumption regime.

“…Oleh karena itu, keamanan harus menjadi pertimbangan saat merancang sistem pembayaran elektronik untuk meningkatkan niat konsumen untuk menggunakannya. Kemudian Mathios et al, (2020), juga menjelaskan bahwa konsumen perlu mendapat perlindungan dari pencurian informasi pribadi dan transaksi keuangan, serta menjamin konsumen agar terhindar dari ancaman bahaya, akibat bertransaksi melalui marketplace. Selanjutnya Raman and Annamalai, (2011) dalam Alwafi and Magnadi, (2016) menyatakan "Terdapat dua parameter keamanan yakni jaminan keamanan dan kerahasiaan data.…”

“…In 1999, the United Nations incorporated references to sustainable consumption into its consumer protection guidelines (Jackson, 2004;Mathios et al, 2020). Recently, the significance of consumer policy in fostering the green transition has gained prominence, particularly within the framework of the European Commission's (2019) "European Green Deal" action packages and the European Commission's (2020) vision for EU consumer policy from 2020 to 2025.…”

“…The tension between consumer policy and sustainability becomes particularly apparent when considering that consumer policy is fundamentally based on the principles of consumption growth and economic efficiency (Dalhammar, 2019). For example, the UN Guidelines on Consumer Protection's objective to encourage the development of market conditions which provide consumers with greater choice at lower prices may conflict with the goal of promoting sustainable consumption (Mathios et al, 2020).…”

The objective of this scoping review is to map, collate and understand the extentand type of peer-reviewed literature on the nexus of consumer policy and environmental sustainability.Sustainable consumption has gained global attention, particularly in thecontext of environmental agendas like the European Green Deal. While consumer policy plays a pivotal role in the envisioned green transition, concerns have been raised about its efficacy and alignment with sustainability goals. Some argue that there is a need for a comprehensive re-evaluation of consumer policy. However, the research on the nexus of consumer policy and environmental sustainability is fragmented. This is also the case for sustainable consumption as a policy area as a plethora of policy instruments relate to consumption in different ways, and they can be adopted at different levels.This planned scoping review covers the English language peer-reviewed literature on the role of consumer policy, and the consumer policy toolbox, in the greentransition. Studies with a stated focus on consumer policy and environmental issues, published from the year 1987 onwards in English, will be included.The review will be conducted following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. To cover a broad array of multidisciplinary research, published in both peer-reviewed journals and books, 12 databases will be searched. The databases covered are broad multidisciplinary databases such as Web of Science and Scopus and more targeted databases such as PsycINFO and databases hosted by EBSCOhost. Data will be extracted and analyzed using a standardized charting table.
