Considering that sustainability can completely modify the design practice, we raise the questions: how the role of design for sustainability transitions change the current design praxis? What would be the role of design in a sufficient consumption scenario? We so attempt to review academic papers about sufficient consumption and design for sustainability transitions to understand the role of design and identify the praxis emphases and gaps. We searched for international peer-reviewed articles published in the last ten years throughout a systematic review, carried out in the Portal de Periódicos da Capesdatabase using two search strings: "sufficient consumption" AND design; sustainability AND transition* AND design. We identified 25 articles that show this is an area of research still recent. However, while it´s necessary to develop better the sufficient consumption concept, there already are research projects working empirically in the design for sustainability transitions field.

The development model based on industrial production was responsible in two centuries for a significant reduction of many non-renewable resources. The idea that design as a field of knowledge has been a notable participant in this context has existed since the 1970s and has been corroborated by leading authors ever since, such as Victor Papanek, Gui Bonsiepe, Ezio Manzini, Michael Braungart and Janis Birkeland.
Going with this concept, studies from the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) indicate that about 80% of the environmental cost of a product, service or system is generated in the design phase. This makes clear the importance of inserting this theme in the field of design, both in the academic and professional spheres.
Based on this, the research aims to understand how it is the approach of teaching in design for sustainability in Brazilian undergraduate courses.
From a set of data obtained in public official documents from the Institutes of Higher Education (HEI) researched in Brazil and Europe, in addition to a bibliographical survey of relevant contemporary publications, this paper uses content analysis tools to map the recurrence and articulation between documents. The results present the state of the art of design education for sustainability in Brazil in comparison to European educational institutions and the scientific community agenda.
