Target setting. Multidimensional category of consumption as a key determinant of sustainable development, its research within the conceptual-categorical apparatus of different disciplines resulted in inconsistencies in the disclosure of its essence because of several related concepts use. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Significant contributions to the study of responsible, intelligent, sustainable consumption and production have been made by well-known foreign (J. Gontelos, T. Jackson, A. Deaton, F. Capra, L. Mikaelis, D. Fedrigo) and domestic scientists (O. Grishnov, A. Kotenko, A. Kolot, O. Melnichenko, L. Pogorila, T. Saltevska).
