Sustainable development model A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE More info at http://avbp.net AVBP Stephen.hinton@avbp.net
Which of these areas is becoming more sustainable Health, water and food? The Environment? Economic stability? Communities?
We see most heading in a counter –sustainable direction Health, water and food The Environment? Economic stability? Communities?
We need a model to help analyze development that will show the way forward to: A healthy life… Preserving the environment… Keeping organizations stable… And communities thriving.
Let’s sit down together and look at the way things behave around us and how they affect other things It’s all about BEHAVIOUR
We analyze the behaviour of people and systems and their effects on other systems Negative effect < cause < behaviour
Negative effect< cause < behaviour Example: Pollutants to air, soil and water< car emissions < driving a car
From Individuals We must limit the burden we place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations Healthy Environment
Example: Pollutants to air, soil and water < car emissions < driving a car It sounds so simple. It is. If no-one ever turned an ignition key, cars would never emit pollutants
From Individuals We can identify behaviour which is both positive and negative for the environment Healthy Environment
From Individuals In turn, we can identify behaviour of the environment which is positive and negative for individuals Healthy Environment
People generally understand what crossing this line entails. And society has developed measures and regulations for this over the years. Nutrients,pollutants Healthy environment
Healthy individuals Behaviourcausing environmentaldepletion And people generally understand what crossing this line entails.
Healthy individuals Effects on health ofenvironmental factors This aspect is well understood, too
Communities must limit the burden they place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations Healthy Environment From Communities
Example: Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste <putting waste in disposal bin
Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste <putting waste in disposal bin It sounds so simple. It is. If no-one ever threw anything in the domestic rubbish, there would be no landfill leakage
In the other direction, communities benefit from being in a healthy environment Healthy Environment From Communities
We must limit the burden corporations and other organisations place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations From organisations Healthy Environment
Organisations must balance their budgets. Organisations with balanced budgets Effectively using environmental services is good for them Healthy Environment
Thriving Communities Organisations with balanced budgets Companies contribute to the community by providing jobs, etc
Healthy Individuals Organisations Healthy Individuals contribute positively to organizations and the community Thriving Communities
Organizations in economic balance Healthy Individuals Health is good for companies and society Thriving Communities
Healthy Individuals Organizations in economic balance Thriving Communities Sustainability is a lasting dynamic balance between these factors Healthy Environment
Most of these interfaces have methods and measures developed which can be easily employed
Global Reporting Inititative ISO 9 OOO ISO 19 O11 Human Rights Carbon Disclosure Project ISO 26000 ISO 14 OOO Environmental footprint
