Sustainability
This document discusses sustainability, sustainable development, and how to achieve sustainability. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainable development aims to maintain socioeconomic systems indefinitely while fulfilling human needs and preserving the environment. The current socioeconomic system prioritizes exponential growth and is unsustainable due to finite resources. To achieve sustainability, the document proposes replacing the current system with a "Technocracy" where experts manage production to maximize living standards for as long as possible using energy credits instead of money.

Environmental sustainability is an important global issue as our planet's resources are limited and we must work to preserve the environment for future generations. On an individual level, the biggest impact can be made through lifestyle choices that minimize waste and carbon footprint, and by supporting local sustainable organizations and officials. Social media serves as an effective tool to connect with others promoting environmentalism, spread awareness of key issues, and advocate for a healthier environment.
Model of sustainable development
Give a model for analyzing how sustainable and area is developing or even a firm, using key indicators and a systems approach.
Sustainability Defined
Presentation defines Sustainability, Sustainability Management, and presents some basic tools the Sustainability Professional can use to design and implement a Sustainability strategy.
Sustainability
This document discusses sustainability from multiple perspectives. It begins by defining sustainability as the ability to continue a behavior indefinitely. It then presents four scenarios related to sustainability: (1) individual actions like raising independent children; (2) social projects around issues like rare diseases; (3) creating a sustainability model for the Amazon forest that balances various stakeholders; and (4) a cultural perspective about creating a culture capable of sustainability solutions. The document emphasizes that sustainability requires creative, multi-disciplinary solutions that consider environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
Guidelines of sustainable development
This document outlines guidelines for sustainable development. It defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The guidelines discussed are: efficient use of resources; public participation; access to information; integrated decision-making and planning; waste minimization and substitution; and research and innovation. Each guideline is further explained as encouraging practices like full-cost accounting, public consultation, access to economic and environmental information, cross-sectoral planning, waste reduction and reuse, and research to further social and economic well-being.
Ensure Environmental Sustainability
The document discusses ensuring environmental sustainability through protecting the environment for current and future generations. It suggests applying interest in sustainability locally by urging government action, reducing energy use and waste, and keeping the environment clean. The greatest contribution can be made by reducing one's own carbon footprint, waste, and using renewable energy, as everyone doing their part can make a difference. Social media can also uniquely spread information on sustainability by exposing environmental hazards and linking to resources through videos and pictures for visual representation.
Sustainable development
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. It requires balancing social, economic, and environmental considerations. Examples of sustainable development projects include using solar and wind energy, practicing crop rotation in agriculture, and building more sustainable cities and infrastructure. The document outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals related to issues such as eliminating poverty and hunger, ensuring access to education and healthcare, achieving gender equality, providing clean water and sanitation, increasing access to renewable energy, making cities more sustainable, responsible consumption, and combating climate change.
Sustainable development.ppt
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the future by balancing social, economic, and environmental objectives. Education for sustainable development as defined by UNESCO is based on sustainable development principles, deals with environmental, social and economic wellbeing, promotes lifelong learning, is locally relevant and culturally appropriate, addresses both global issues and local priorities, and builds capacity for community-based decision making through an interdisciplinary approach.
California Green Academies
This document outlines a vision for "Green Academies" and a sustainable civilization in 500 years. It discusses developing a green economy and new models of sustainable living through education programs focused on green jobs, natural systems, and building sustainable communities. Key elements include developing responsible world citizens through reflective learning outcomes and sustainable living outcomes to create a green civilization that lives in balance with the planet.
How play inspires our sustainability journey
As the first sustainability manager, Hilary led efforts to embed sustainability within each department, turning an ambitious vision into a reality that benefits the long-term health of this local destination and it's community.
"Our promise is that every decision we make as a company will pass through the filter of environmental, social, economic and purposeful leadership."
Sustainable Development concept
“Sustainable Development” (SD) is an expression frequently used by ecologists,
media and politicians, but it does not always carry the same concise meaning. The EEA
(1998) stated in 1998 that over 300 definitions of SD had been given, many of them inappropriate, as the outcome of different visions, values scales, interests and
ideologies. In this way, SD becomes a non-operative ‘chewing gum concept’ that
everybody can adapt in his own convenience (Bermejo, 2005, p.24)
The Brundtland Report (1987) states the most widely accepted definition of SD as
“the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs”. The worldwide commitment on the
acceptance of this definition constitutes a milestone in itself.
Sustainability And Economic Development
The document discusses sustainability and its connections to economic development. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs. Economic development strategies can support community sustainability initiatives or sustainable business practices. Businesses benefit from improving their environmental performance through eco-efficiency, innovation, and reducing their impacts on natural capital.

The document summarizes a collaborative program between the Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies to increase effectiveness and efficiency. It discusses how the program aimed to collaborate on business support functions and custody, representing 50% of staff and savings of £43 million. However, implementing the collaboration posed challenges including different organizational ambitions, communication issues, and differing pay and conditions policies pulling teams apart. The reality was that collaboration threatened some stakeholders' influence while rapidly changing environments. Successfully managing the transition required building strong joint teams while existing dividing policies and procedures remained.Managing multi-site teams on Agile Projects

Strategy under uncertainty by
The document discusses strategy under uncertainty and describes four levels of uncertainty that companies may face:
1) A clear enough future where a single forecast is possible
2) Alternative futures with a few discrete scenarios
3) A range of possible futures defined by key variables
4) True ambiguity where no outcomes can be predicted
It also presents three strategic postures for dealing with uncertainty: shaping the future, adapting to the future, and reserving the right to play. A portfolio of actions like options, big bets, and no-regrets moves can then be considered.
Strategic marketing
This document discusses company strategy and marketing. It begins by outlining the objectives of understanding strategic planning, designing business portfolios, and marketing's role. It then provides details on Disney's business model and diversification. The core of the document covers strategic planning, including defining the process, developing mission statements and analyzing current business units. It also discusses tools for portfolio analysis like the BCG matrix and developing strategies for growth, downsizing or new opportunities. Finally, it outlines the key elements of the marketing process, including analyzing opportunities, targeting markets, developing the marketing mix, and managing the effort.
Staging your Nonprofit Strategic Planning
The primary benefit of the planning process is the process itself, not a plan. It is essential to put energy and effort into planning your process. The four questions you want to answer: Where are we? Where do we want to be in the future? What part of the status quo do we need to change to get us where we want to be in the future? How do we make it happen? Remember, if you don't know where you want to go it doesn't matter which road you take!

This document discusses the changing landscape of performance marketing and how marketers can gain competitive advantages. It notes the proliferation of online channels like websites, emails and mobile that customers use. It argues marketers need a single platform to manage campaigns across these channels and devices. The platform should provide transparent, efficient performance as well as proprietary customer insights and objective attribution across channels. This allows marketers to fill the sales funnel with new customers, keep them loyal by inverting the funnel, and maximize lifetime customer value by closing the loop between acquisition, retention and growth.
