A feminist agenda for sustainable consumption and production (SCP) insists that societal shift must transcend mere carbon reduction. It must dismantle the intertwined systems of exploitation—extractivism, militarism, privatisation—that have fuelled environmental destruction and social collapse. Centring women, Indigenous peoples, informal economy workers, and other marginalised groups is fundamental to this approach. These communities are the stewards of sustainable ecological knowledge, and they sustain life. Their labour, wisdom, and resistance define environmental justice, demanding economic models grounded in reparations, redistribution, rights, care, and collective sovereignty.

The call for a people-powered transition reclaims commons from privatisation, counters false technological or market-based “solutions”, and champions democratic, localised systems of food, energy, and production that are both ecologically sustainable and socially just.

 This toolkit emphasises that genuine and transformative  transitions must be rooted in equity—ensuring that no people, workers, or communities are left behind.  It is developed for grassroots movements, civil society, and advocates in the global South to provide tactical guidance for communications and advocacy strategies that reflect the lived experiences and grassroots leadership of feminists and activists.
