  2. The Bruntland Report definition… From (1987) Our Common Future “Development needs.” to own meet that the without generations future compromising meets current needs of their ability

  3. What other definitions can you find? “Economic development that is conducted without depletion of natural resources.” “A systems approach to growth and development and to manage natural, produced, and social capital for the welfare of their own and future generations.”

  4. But what exactly is sustainable development? Visit http://www.un-documents.net/ocf-02.htm and read paragraphs 1-15. The three common areas of sustainability that occur are ‘social’, ‘economic’ and ‘environmental’ sustainability.

  5. http://www.resilience.org/stories/2013-10-23/rethinking-sustainable-development-in-terms-of-commonshttp://www.resilience.org/stories/2013-10-23/rethinking-sustainable-development-in-terms-of-commons Models… In your own words, explain how these models show that achieving ‘sustainable development’ is in fact a complex and difficult process. Use any appropriate named examples to support your ideas.

  6. Have we always tried to achieve ‘sustainable’ development? Visit this weblinkhttp://www.uncsd2012.org/history.html and create a timeline that outlines the key historical events that have played a role in promoting the idea of ‘sustainable development’. You should be able to talk about both AGENDA 21 and the RIO DECLARATION.

  7. Choose a city in either a LIC or HIC nation. Create a note table to outline specifically how this city has attempted to meet sustainable development, according to the definitions and models you have considered in today’s lesson. The best examples will include data and statistics, named examples and locational detail, and will meet all areas that fall under ‘sustainable development’.
