Inc. The Future of Sustainability Education Brochure from a Swedish College: “Want to change the world? Get trained as a sustainability strategist!”
6.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Some Important Distinctions • Sustainability • Sustainable Development • Framework • Model • Methodology • Process • Tool What’s the difference?
7.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Sustainability is ... A set of conditions and trends in a given system that can continue indefinitely
8.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Sustainable Development is ... A strategic process of continuous change in the direction of sustainability
9.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Framework • A framework is a set of definitions, principles, and often symbols that describes a complex concept. A framework provides definition and structure to the concept. • Think of it as a conceptual platform on which a group can stand to talk about a complex topic, so that everyone can be reasonably sure that they are talking about the same thing.
10.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Model • A model is a symbolic representation of something in the real world. A model is used to reveal important elements and/or dynamics in a thing or a process. • For example, if you draw a map of a water system on the wall, showing where it goes and how it all links together, you have created a model of that system.
11.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Methodology • A methodology is a logical sequence of steps, things you think or do in a particular way and in a particular order, to achieve a particular kind of result. Different kinds of scientific experiments, recipes, formulas ... “First do this, then do that.” • You don't need to be a group to be using a methodology; you can use it in your own head.
12.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Process • A process is, in this context, something you do in collaboration with other people (e.g., "group process"). Like a methodology, it is also a structured sequence of steps. But it may or may not have a specific result as its purpose. • For example, going once around a group and allowing everyone a minute to share their point of view is a process, but it is not an designed to produce a result, solution, or product.
13.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Tool • Tool is an all-purpose word. A tool is anything you use to accomplish a task. It includes all of the other terms, and more. • A framework is also a tool: it is something you use to put a set of structured definitions in place, to set the context. • A methodology is a tool: you use it to think your way to a solution, or to create another tool (for example, an indicator, or a systems map). • Processes and models are also, of course, tools. • Books are tools. Powerpoint files are tools. Teaching games are tools. Even a song can be a tool, if you are using it to accomplish a task.

Inc. A Quick Roadmap Sustainability Framework Typical Models Typical Methodologies Typical Processes Other Tools Triple Bottom Line Specific to enterprise Management systems Stakeholder engagement Corporate Board training The Natural Step Funnel v. Cylinder ABCD, “Flexible Platforms” Group dialogue processes (ABCD) Metrics, Consensus documents ISIS Innovation Theory; Systems models created Indicator selection; systems modeling Group consensus- driven decision- making Background reports; web documentation
15.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. The Plan ... • Present three Frameworks • Describe their “implicit theory of change” and some of the methodologies, models, and processes they use • Anchor them to case studies • Report some news • Show a few more tools • Map out some ossibilities for courses and professional development training in “applied sustainability”
16.
AtKisson Group Framework #1 “Triple
Bottom Line”
17.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Framework #1: Triple Bottom Line • Phrase Coined by John Elkington of SustainAbility, Ltd. (a London-based consultancy) • Adds “Society” and “Environment” to the traditional “Economic” bottom line • Informs many other applications, including the Global Reporting Initiative • Used by many corporations and institutions to integrate sustainability thinking into their operations; some communities use it • Not a designed to be a comprehensive planning framework— but used that way anyway
18.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. The Triple Bottom Line is Also the Three Legged Stool is Also the ... Environment Economy Social / Equity
19.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. The TBL Theory of Change: Doing sustainable development requires: • Attempting to integrate (or perhaps just balance) environmental, social, and economic values ... • ... which will suffice to make/inspire/guide change toward sustainability.
20.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Practical Tool: The GRI Framework Emerging international standard for sustainability reporting
21.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. What Are the GRI Guidelines? [...] a framework [including a number of methodologies] for reporting on an organisation’s economic, environmental, and social performance. The Guidelines: • present reporting principles and specific content to guide the preparation of organisation-level sustainability reports; • assist organisations in presenting a balanced and reasonable picture of their economic, environmental, and social performance; • promote comparability of sustainability reports, while taking into account the practical considerations related to disclosing information across a diverse range of organisations, many with extensive and geographically dispersed operations; • support benchmarking and assessment of sustainability performance with respect to codes, performance standards, and voluntary initiatives; and • serve as an instrument to facilitate stakeholder engagement.
22.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. What Are the GRI Guidelines? The Guidelines are not: • a code or set of principles of conduct; • a performance standard (e.g., emissions target for a specific pollutant); or • a management system. The Guidelines do not: • provide instruction for designing an organisation’s internal data management and reporting systems; or • offer methodologies for preparing reports, or for performing monitoring and verification of such reports.
23.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Case Study: Alcoa “Our 2002 Sustainability Report yields meaningful insight on the economic, environmental, and social progress we are making and the challenges we still face in reaching our sustainability goals.” Annual Sales > $20 billion
24.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Case Study: Alcoa “Over time, sustainable development will demand that every business take the far- sighted view, to leave behind an enterprise that is valued by society and positioned for future growth.”
25.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Case Study: Alcoa From the 2002 Sustainability Report (Note: The report does not reference GRI) • Dozens of statements on principles, values, integrity • Ethics and compliance hotline • Community forums • High financial accountability standards • ISO 14001 EMS • Climate change leadership • Long-term shareholder value • Cost savings initiatives • Landcare initiatives • Worker health • Worker safety • Recycling • Renewable energy • Responding to citizen pressure • Supporting biodiversity • Diversity of the workforce • Requirements for business conduct • Community giving • Product responsibility ... but the company is still attracting criticism for its large hydropower project in Icelnad
26.
AtKisson Group Framework #2: The
Natural Step
27.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. Development of The Natural Step • Started by a Swedish cancer researcher and physician, Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt, originally concerned about addressing the root causes of pediatric cancer • Based on an original scientific consensus about basic (“first”) principles -- about how cells work, how Nature works, how the planet works • Now a strategic planning framework, especially for defining and managing environmental sustainability • Has been used by communities, government agencies and companies all over the world
28.

Inc. TNS: The Core Assumption We live in a mostly closed system
29.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. The TNS “Funnel”: A model of systematic deterioration over time POLLUTION RESOURCES TORN SOCIAL FABRIC DESTABILIZATION Sustainability TimeSource: Det Naturliga Steget, Sweden
30.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. ... Which leads to the “Four System Conditions”: In a sustainable society, nature is not subject to systematically increasing: 1. concentrations of substances extracted from the earth's crust; 2. concentrations of substances produced by society; 3. degradation by physical means; and, in that society. . . 4. human needs are met worldwide.
31.
© 2004 AtKisson,
Inc. The TNS Theory of Change*: Doing sustainable development requires: • A consensus on overarching principles for sustainability that are elegantly simple ... • ... and agreement to use those principles ... • ... to do “Backcasting”: building today’s to-do list from a future vision of success that meets principles ... • ... and then taking action in ways that create flexible platforms -- that is, that don’t lock you into directions that prove to be dead ends / blind alleys. * As derived and inferred from a review of their methods and materials
