The document discusses sustainability and sustainable practices for businesses. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Strong sustainability embraces renewable energy, treats waste as a resource, and values diversity and ecosystem resilience. Key aspects of strong sustainability are systems thinking, a principled definition, and backcasting to understand sustainability and practice it effectively.

Ecotourism and community health for slideshare

Steve McCool

The document discusses how ecotourism can be used to build resilient communities and transform protected areas, communities, and their connections. It notes that communities unprepared for changes like new technologies and climate change are stressed. Ecotourism has the potential to enhance protected area management, transform communities economically and culturally, and strengthen connections between communities and protected areas. However, barriers like a lack of social capital, financial resources, and shared vision must be addressed. Ongoing monitoring is needed to adapt strategies as outcomes change over time.

What is good development and the value of the underlined good development

kebede Birhanu

Good development refers to development that builds on local initiatives and existing efforts, supports communities to overcome poverty, and provides lasting improvements to well-being. It recognizes that foreign assistance is only effective when it strengthens local capacity. Good development also aims to create sustainable systems that can continue providing for communities' well-being over the long term. Key values of good development include selecting strategic initiatives, generating social returns, innovating to change paradigms, designing programs with long-term sustainability, having multi-dimensional impacts, enhancing local resources, and promoting learning and hope for the future.

This document discusses how to build health into communities through policy, systems, and environmental changes. It argues that 60% of health is determined by social and environmental factors like neighborhoods, housing, transportation, and engagement. It provides examples of how planners can work with public health to adopt policies like slower speed limits, support affordable housing, and engage residents in photovoice and placemaking to create healthier neighborhoods. The goal is to make individuals' default decisions healthier by changing the broader context through collaborative multi-sector approaches.

Energy transition and the role of communities por Antonia Proka

ICEACAN - Instituto de las Comunidades Energéticas Autosuficientes de Canarias

Community energy initiatives are driven by a variety of motivations including concerns about the environment and future generations, community well-being, empowerment, and independence from large energy companies. They provide benefits like engaging the community, creating local jobs and income. However, they face barriers such as lack of funding, expertise, and unstable government policies. National policy can support local renewable initiatives through mechanisms like feed-in tariffs and quotas. Community energy also has transformative potential through skills sharing, social innovation, and challenging dominant views of the energy system.

Sustainable development

Andrews.V

This document discusses the concept of sustainable development and its importance. It notes that traditionally society, economy, and environment have been viewed as separate parts, but sustainable development recognizes their interconnections. Piecemeal solutions that do not consider these links can cause unintended consequences. True sustainable development requires understanding how social, economic, and environmental factors are interrelated and achieving balance among them. The document outlines several key aspects of sustainable development including its definition, features, dimensions to consider, ways to measure sustainability, and areas that require sustainable approaches.

Flourishing Societies Framework - DwD Workshop

Peter Jones

How might we move or collective thinking and action beyond single-issue social action? Does it make sense to build our urban worlds and future societies by winning one political issue at a time? Can we design civic business models for our cities and society? All social services, determinants of health, and economics are complex and interrelated. So why do we expect any political body or activist group to get it right? Only meaningfully diverse, multi-stakeholder groups can envision the variety of interests and outcomes in complex social systems. In February's Design with Dialogue Peter Jones workshops tools for co-creating civic design proposals. A significant design challenge of our time is anticipating the relationships of multiple environmental and social problems as a complex system of nonlinear relationships. However, we cannot think about, model or discuss the relationships well, especially in the heat of discussion with deliberative groups and decision making processes. We need not only better engagement and dialogue processes for citizen deliberative problem solving, we require relevant tools. With the OCADU Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group and with Strategic Foresight & Innovation students we designed a relevant framework from the common language of business model tools, adapted for civic decision models for flourishing cities and settlements. The Flourishing Cities framework adapts a design tool for strongly sustainable business models as a visual organizer for engaging stakeholders in co-creating normative operational guidance for civic groups, community planners, and local governments. Flourishing can be understood as “to live within an optimal range of human functioning, one that connotes goodness, generativity, growth, and resilience,” or as John Ehrenfeld states it: “Flourishing is the possibility that human and other life will flourish on this planet forever.” This visual model enables a participatory mapping of propositions, values, and preferences that might yield significantly better group decisions for sociocultural and ecological development and governance in any planning engagement.

This chapter discusses economics, the environment, and sustainability. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences: Economic systems depend on natural, human, and manufactured capital. Markets fail to fully account for environmental costs, so governments intervene through various policies. Moving to a more sustainable economy will require shifting subsidies from polluting to green industries, taxing pollution over profits, and creating new green jobs in renewable energy and recycling.

Understanding Biosphere Entrepreneurship Through a Framework Approach

Tecnológico de Monterrey

Winner, Best Paper, United States Assoc. for Small Business & Entrepreneurship, usasbe.org Philadelphia 2017. Abstract: Entrepreneurial activity may be inconsistent with the need to conserve the planet and prevent environmental damage. This article provides the theoretical basis for Biosphere Entrepreneurship, which goes beyond business and social entrepreneurship. It theoretically justifies entrepreneurial activity that adds value to Earth. Extending the work of Kuratko, Morris, and Schindehutte on ontological frameworks (2000; 2001; 2015), we combine entrepreneurship, climate change economics, and sustainability research in an attempt to build a theoretical base for biosphere entrepreneurship. In the Implications, we ask, what can educators do to help biosphere entrepreneurs address the existential and catastrophic risks facing humanity? Executive Summary: This article combines entrepreneurship research with climate economics and sustainability to build a new theory of biosphere entrepreneurship. Going beyond business and social entrepreneurship, which add value to private and community domains, respectively, biosphere entrepreneurship is entrepreneurial activity that adds value to the biosphere and ecosystem services. The purpose of this article is to devise mental models (frameworks) relating entrepreneurship and climate change to facilitate theory-building. Using images and visual depictions, the article envisions a theoretical model of entrepreneurial ecology or biosphere entrepreneurship showing how the Earth, humanity, and the economy are connected through negative entrepreneurship and positive entrepreneurship. It extends extant frameworks-- entrepreneurial risk and survival frameworks; financial and capital frameworks; entrepreneurial growth frameworks; business model frameworks; socio-cultural frameworks; and entrepreneurial opportunity frameworks—to theoretically justify entrepreneurial activity that adds value to Earth. The article uses entrepreneurship ontology in the tradition of Kuratko, Morris, and Schindehutte (2000; 2001; 2015) to describe phenomena in a way to identify and classify concepts and relationships about which increasingly are reaching consensus. The purpose is to use ontological framework analysis to convert abstraction into order, prioritize variables, and identify relationships within a new field of biosphere entrepreneurship. We seek candidate frameworks combining the domains of entrepreneurship, climate economics, and sustainability to expand a theory of biosphere entrepreneurship. The article concludes with implications for entrepreneurship education. If biosphere truly go beyond business entrepreneurs seeking private gain, and social entrepreneurs adding value to social communities, what are educators doing to help our young entrepreneurs see climate change as market failure, identify market opportunities, and come to grips with existential and catastrophic risk?

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...

Suzanne Lagerweij

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2). This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick). Abstract: Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change? Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice. We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick). In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work. Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life

Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures. Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
