CONSUMPTION 
FOR  HUMAN  DEVELOPMENT
 

"We must make a determined effort to eradicate poverty and expand the consumption of more than one billion desperately poor people who have been left out of the global growth in consumption."

James Gustave Speth,
Administrator of UNDP

"Consumption can contribute much to human development -- but to deliver its potential it must be shared, strengthening, socially responsible and sustainable." 

Richard Jolly, Principal coordinator of the Report
