Which of these areas is becoming more sustainable Health, water and food? The Environment? Economic stability? Communities?

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?

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.

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

Let’s sit down together and look at the way things behave around us and how they affect other things

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 Negative effect< cause < behaviour

Example:

Pollutants to air, soil and water< car emissions < driving a car

Healthy Environment We must limit the burden we place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations From Individuals

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

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

Healthy Environment We can identify behaviour which is both positive and negative for the environment From Individuals

Healthy Environment In turn, we can identify behaviour of the environment which is positive and negative for individuals From Individuals

People generally understand what crossing this line entails. And society has developed measures and regulations for this over the years. Healthy environment Nutrients, pollutants

And people generally understand what crossing this line entails. Healthy individuals Behaviour causing environmental depletion

This aspect is well understood, too Healthy individuals Effects on health of environmental factors

Healthy Environment Communities must limit the burden they place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations From Communities

Example: Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste <putting waste in disposal bin

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

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

Healthy Environment In the other direction, communities benefit from being in a healthy environment From Communities

Healthy Environment We must limit the burden corporations and other organisations place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations From organisations

Organisations must balance their budgets. Organisations with balanced budgets Healthy Environment Effectively using environmental services is good for them

Organisations with balanced budgets Companies contribute to the community by providing jobs, etc Thriving Communities

Healthy Individuals Thriving Communities Healthy Individuals contribute positively to organizations and the community Organisations

Healthy Individuals Health is good for companies and society Organizations in economic balance Thriving Communities

Healthy Environment Sustainability is a lasting dynamic balance between these factors Healthy Individuals Thriving Communities Organizations in economic balance

PUTTING THE MODEL TO WORK

Most of these interfaces have methods and measures developed which can be easily employed

Start from where YOU are, in your neighbourhood, community, corporation. Identify Key indicators for areas of concern and for assets assets concerns assets concerns assets concerns assets concerns

For each key measure, give a REASONABLE* objective level of 100 X Identify current situation Identify reasonable rate of change Measure progress Time > * Reasonable = promoting sustainable development 100 50 0 150

X Time > Use these results to work out how to ensure trends go in a sustainable direction 100 50 0 150
