This paper presents the results of a multicountry survey on Covid-19-induced changes in consumption habits with a focus on nonessential material consumption and mobility behavior. The survey (n=4000) was carried out in Germany Italy Japan and the United States in early 2021. Our findings show early trends toward more sustainable behavior in nonessential material consumption especially a reduction in purchases and the realization that the unpurchased items were not missed. While there were likewise significant pandemic-related changes in mobility both concerning trip frequency and purpose and transport modes respondents’ future intentions do not suggest significant gains in sustainability in this area.
