This paper explores the prospects for global sustainable consumption governance. Analyzing developments in this area since the Rio Summit and Agenda 21, the paper highlights that core actors and efforts have neglected essential parts of a sustainable consumption governance strategy. While they focus on the efficiency of consumption, questions regarding the sustainability of consumption levels and necessary fundamental changes in consumption patterns in industrialized countries have been neglected on the official agenda. The paper traces this development through the work of the major IGOs engaged in developing sustainable consumption governance. Therefore it mainly reflects preparations and results of the Johannesburg summit.
