On 28th and 30th September 2010, the members of The Futures Academy, Ela Krawczyk, Tadhg O'Mahony and Dorothy Stewart, participated in the Visioning Workshops organised as part of the Consensus Project. Consensus is a four year collaborative research project involving Trinity College Dublin and National University of Ireland, Galway, which examines four key areas of household consumption that currently impact negatively on the environment and inhibit our ability, both in Northern Ireland and the Republic, to achieve sustainable development: transport, energy, water and food. A set of 7 integrated work packages will address four key themes: how consumption can be measured and evaluated; how sustainable behaviours and incentives are being developed and implemented; identifying links between consumption, health and well being; and finally how matters of household consumption are being governed through institutional practice and participation.
