Relating specifically to SDG 12, ‘Responsible consumption and production,’ this two-volume edited collection argues that the core drivers of sustainable consumption in the African context are considerably different than in other regions. For example, studies show that developed countries tend to have a greater interest in sustainability compared to developing countries, and that Africa lags behind in adopting sustainable consumption practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOffering a deeper understanding of this issue, authors explore how and why consumers make decisions, and what influences them towards sustainable behaviour, identifying the key drivers and challenges to sustainable behaviours.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVolume I focuses on understanding the core issues and covers topics such as understanding consumer responses to green marketing strategies, the role of trust in sustainable consumption choices, and sustainable fashion, to name a few. Volume II focuses on the innovative ways that organizations in Africa drive forward the targets of SDG 12, and explores the use of technology and AI, social media, in contexts  such as the tourism and retail industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProf Makhitha\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently a full professor in the Department of Marketing and Retail Management at the University of South Africa (Unisa).
