Slide 1
Slide 2
Sustainability is...
|
|
|
|
|
“Dangerous…” |
|
“Corporate social responsibility is
flawed…What it proposes for individual businesses, through ‘stakeholder
engagement’ and giving effect to the ‘triple bottom line’… is an aberration
on the part of many businesses, and its growing hold on opinion generally is
a matter for concern.” |
|
|
|
|
|
CSR undermines the role of business to
create wealth… |
|
Single-minded pursuit of the single
bottom line. |
Slide 4

Slide 10
Slide 11
Sustainable Development
means:
|
|
|
Profitability (technical, financial,
economic performance); |
|
Risk management; |
|
Mitigation of environmental and social
impacts; |
|
Creation of other forms of capital -
social capital, human capital, natural capital; and |
|
Ensuring some sort of equitable
distribution of proceeds occurs between public and private sectors and at
local and national levels |
|
In particular the emphasis has moved
away from the more narrow one of environmental factors to one of ‘sustainable
communities’ or ‘sustainable regions’. |
Slide 13
Sustainability in
settlements…
Extended Metabolism Model of Human Settlements.
Sustainability in
Settlements...
|
|
|
Sustainability means reducing ecological footprint (resources and
wastes) whilst improving livability (quality of life). |
Issues...
|
|
|
Sustainable Settlements and Quality of
Life |
|
Water (supply, re-use, drainage…) |
|
Land use and Transport (sprawl, air
quality, centres…) |
|
Waste (eco-efficiency, recycling,
industrial ecology…) |
|
Housing (eco-efficient, design
aesthetics, accessibility, availability…) |
|
Regional Centres (viability, services…) |
|
Indigenous Settlements (health,
appropriate technology…) |
Issues...
|
|
|
Green Jobs (Enviroworks study) |
|
Earth repair (restoring damaged land) |
|
Environmental survey (environmental
data) |
|
Resources renewal (eco-efficiency) |
|
Sustainable energy (renewables and
efficiency) |
|
Sustainable communities and cities
(transport, infrastructure, design, construction) |
|
‘Clean and green’ food and sustainable
agriculture (organic, low input…) |
Issues...
|
|
|
Social Capital |
|
How can this all be done in a way that
improves social capital? (community development, crime prevention, equity…) |
|
Can a focus on social capital lead to
improvements in all areas of sustainability? |
|
Can social programs more explicitly be
joined to sustainability? |
Issues...
|
|
|
Health |
|
|
|
Is health another way to measure
sustainability? |
|
Can health be more explicitly joined to
sustainability? |
Issues...
|
|
|
Consumption, Justice, Education... |
|
|
|
How to relate to sustainability? |
Issues...
|
|
|
Ethics |
|
|
|
What are the moral and ethical issues
behind sustainability? |
|
How can they integrate into a State
Sustainability Strategy? |
Policy approaches...
|
|
|
Role of regulation to create
sustainability (eg. 2%...) |
|
Role of standards (eg. ISO 14000...) |
|
Role of demonstration (eg.
eco-efficiency, green procurement…) |
|
Role of indicators and benchmark goals…
(eg. zero waste by 2020...) |
|
Role of infrastructure (eg. train,
recycling plants…) |
Policy approaches...
|
|
|
Role of pricing and subsidising (eg.
charges for water and waste...) |
|
Role of R & D (Global Centre for
Sustainability...) |
|
Role of education and media (case
studies, stories…) |
|
Role of regional governance (RDC’s...) |
|
Role of creative, cultural sector
(fun…) |

INNOVATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
IN THE END SUSTAINABILITY IS ABOUT
INNOVATION… |
|
Innovation in technology for
eco-efficiency (Factor 4, 10…) |
|
Innovation in management for |
|
new levels of integration (within an
organisation) |
|
new partnerships (with
Govt/Business/NGO’s) |
|
new goals (incorporating social capital
and natural capital) |
|
|
|
GOVERNMENTS CAN’T MANDATE INNOVATION |
|
BUT THEY CAN DEMONSTRATE IT THEMSELVES
AND FACILITATE IT... |
