Sufficiency projects have the aim to reduce one's own ecological footprint. The tool exemplary presents concrete projects and proposes how to translate sufficiency into different policy areas such as labour policy, consumption and education. Moreover, the politics map provides definitions of the terms sustainability, post growth, sufficiency and sufficiency policy and recommends literature on the topics.
