In the terms of Chapter 36 of Agenda 21 and the priorities of the schedule of work of the Commission for Sustainable Development, UNESCO itself recognises that this field is “in its infancy.” Given the large number of sustainability definitions available, I understand sustainability to be a process that links social equity, economic growth and environmental protection. Therefore sustainable consumption is a mode of consumption congruent with this meaning of sustainability. It is a complex challenge for all of us for it alludes to complexities of modern life, which go beyond the very usual of formal and informal educational processes.  \nRésumé  \nL’éducation relative à l’environnement en vue d’une consommation durable constitue un des plus récents défis à relever dans le domaine de l’éducation. Selon le chapitre 36 d’Action 21 et les priorités du calendrier de travail de la Commission sur le développement durable, l’UNESCO reconnaît que ce domaine est au \" stade de l’enfance \". Étant donné le grand nombre de définitions sur la durabilité, j’entends par durabilité un processus qui lie équité sociale, croissance économique et protection de l’environnement. La consommation durable est donc un mode de consommation en harmonie avec cette signification de la durabilité . Il s’agit d’un défi difficile pour nous tous, car il a trait aux complexités de la vie moderne qui dépassent les traditionnels processus éducatifs formels et informels.  \n176 Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 4, Summer 1999  \nThe emerging field of environmental education for sustainable consumption has at least two serious, interrelated problems, which need to be tackled by educators. The first is the polemic surrounding the relationships between consumption patterns and income distribution. More specifically, this problem is grounded in issues of equity in the distribution of wealth and of global shifts towards sustainability policies and processes and the ramifications these issues have with respect to taking responsibility for environmental deterioration. Connections can be made to different patterns of consumption between nations, which compete under unequal economic conditions, as well as between the economic elite and the population masses within each country. The second problem facing educators interested in promoting environmental education for sustainable consumption finds us in the area of developing appropriate pedagogical strategies. We need to find ways of addressing questions such as the following: How can we bring about awareness and the practice of sustainable consumption in people, despite its opacity, through environmental education? Which indicators will give us more meaningful results than those economic instruments currently used to induce or deter social behaviours, aware as we are of the difficulties experienced by almost every country in qualitative progress, and above all, progress in education? How can we control the participation of the media in a world where commercial globalisation has its own rules? What role can schools play if environmental, and even educational, programmes seem further and further removed from the reality of children?  \nConsequently, the objective of this paper is to outline key issues in the growing discussion of the development perspectives of environmental education for sustainable consumption in the case of Mexico.  \nConsumption Patterns and Income Distribution  \nBefore discussing education for sustainable consumption in more detail, it is necessary to contextualise its development as an educational goal.
