The document discusses metrics for sustainable development and outlines characteristics of a sustainable society. It defines sustainable development as meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. A sustainable society ensures nature is not systematically degraded through increasing concentrations of extracted or human-made substances, overharvesting, or paving over critical habitats. Additionally, in a sustainable society people's ability to meet their needs is not systematically undermined.

Climate change and forests: assessing local governance
The skills of anthropologists in local-level social analysis have great potential for contributing to the global discussion on climate change. Their skills and findings could be used toward reducing the risks related to REDD+, and working constructively with communities to adapt to the changes that cannot be prevented. CIFOR scientist Carol Colfer gave this presentation at the Society for Applied Anthropology’s annual meeting, in Seattle, Washington in April 2011. The aim was to interest anthropologists in addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation more actively.
Rhode island: Best Practices for Sustainability
Rhode Island is a leader in sustainability initiatives through various government and non-government programs. Senator Whitehouse has spearheaded several programs to promote environmental initiatives and combat climate change. In 2017, the governor signed an executive order appointing a Chief Resilience Officer to develop a Climate Resilience Action Strategy. This involves a Resiliency Roundtable with constituents from cities, environmental justice groups, and non-profits to identify issues and solutions to climate change. Businesses also partner through initiatives like clean oceans campaigns and sustainable fisheries programs.
Commons, Social Justice and environmental justice - T. Fattori (Forum Italian...
This document discusses the close link between social injustice, environmental injustice, and the privatization of natural commons. It argues that guaranteed access to natural commons like water and biodiversity is essential for meeting basic needs and upholding fundamental rights. However, the current linear development model disproportionately benefits wealthy people while harming the environment and poorer communities who depend most on natural resources. Battles over access to commons and environmental protection are thus linked to issues of social and environmental justice.

Title: What Does Sustainable Development of Science and Technology Look Like in the 21st Century?
Author: Daniel B. Oerther, PhD, PE, BCEE

Jefferson Science Fellow, Secretary’s Office of Global Food Security, Department of State
Abstract: Science and technology innovation – from the discovery of fire to electricity to computers – has allowed the creation of new and more efficient global economies. As we have developed from hunter- gathering communities, to agricultural economies, and very recently to industrial, service, and knowledge economies, some groups across the globe have been left behind financially. Looking ahead towards 2050, the employment opportunities in human computation promise to: 1) solve challenging problems and 2) simultaneously grow economically. Human computation is a computer science technique in which a machine performs its function by out-sourcing certain steps to humans. Combined with the internet of things and additive manufacturing, the greatest untapped resource of the developing world is the vastly under-utilized intellectual capacity of billions across the globe. Rather than promote development policies and programs that incrementally bring the financially impoverished through the stages of personal and economic development, this presentation will argue that a leap frog approach relying upon science and technology innovation is the path we should pursue for sustainable development.
Biography: Dr. Daniel Oerther earned his doctorate in environmental engineering from the University of Illinois. He pursued additional graduate training in microbial ecology (Marine Biology Laboratory), public health (Johns Hopkins), and public administration (Indiana). He was a member of the faculty of the University of Cincinnati from 2000-9 including one year as Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Professor Oerther is currently the John A. and Susan Mathes Chair of Environmental Health Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. @DanielOerther describes himself as, “a social entrepreneur using design thinking to eliminate extreme poverty, ensure access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, and to protect global food security and nutrition.”
Pangea
Pangea Organics began in 1999 when founder Joshua Onysko created the first batch of soap with his mother after being inspired by a book on soapmaking. He spent time traveling and envisioned creating a place for sustainable businesses. In 2002, he started Pangea Organics making soap in his garage at night and selling it from his van. By 2003, demand increased and he moved operations to a warehouse. The company has experienced significant annual sales growth since starting and now sells products through over 1600 doors worldwide including major retailers like Whole Foods. The company grappled with balancing its mission-driven integrity with a need to grow distribution but remained committed to sustainability and social responsibility.
Story Telling For Change - Annie Leonard, Producer, The Story of Stuff & Jona...
This document discusses lessons learned from the Story of Stuff project. It recommends getting feedback on your story early, clarifying goals, and keeping the story simple yet meaningful. When telling the story, provide a human perspective, multiple entry points, and focus on emotion over facts. Show connections between ideas without oversimplifying, speak to core truths, and deepen discussion by not trying to control the message.
Michael Hopkins, Editor in Chief, MIT Sloan Management Review
The document discusses findings from a survey on business sustainability. It states that more than 92% of organizations are addressing sustainability, but fewer than 25% decreased sustainability spending during an economic downturn. It also notes that 70% of organizations had not developed a business case for sustainability. There is an enormous divide between sustainability experts and novices. The rest of the document outlines several topics related to sustainability and value creation, including iterative innovation, talent management, transparency, and risk and resiliency.
Steve Westly, Managing Partner, The Westly Group
Steve Westly presented on how California can lead the clean tech revolution. The presentation discussed the growing problems of climate change and pollution, and how California is addressing these issues through policies like AB 32 and Proposition 71 as well as private sector clean tech investing. Westly argued clean tech is a major global phenomenon, with innovations in areas like electric cars, solar power, and renewable energy. However, he noted China is also a major player in clean tech and questioned whether it will be a partner or competitor to California.

1. Leading in a regenerative economy provides several benefits including cost savings, increased revenue opportunities, competitive differentiation, shaping industry trends, and improving brand image.
2. Systems thinking is a process for collective inquiry that examines wholes and interrelationships rather than parts, sees interdependencies rather than linear causes, and identifies patterns of change rather than snapshots.
3. Systems thinking can surface assumptions, understand intended and unintended consequences over time, increase capacity for nuanced perspectives, identify leverage points, and build shared understanding for collaboration on complex issues.
Beth Springer, Clorox,Joe Laur, at Opportunity Green 2009
The document summarizes Clorox's sustainability journey over the past 15 years. It began by focusing on reducing its operational footprint through initiatives like lighting retrofits, water recycling, and waste reduction.

Clorox is continually learning and adapting its approach based on feedback from outside groups, with the goal of making environmental sustainability core to its business strategy and operations.
Alexis Madrigal at Opportunity Green 2009
This document discusses the history of energy technologies in Los Angeles from 1857 to 1957. It highlights how in the late 19th/early 20th century, the city utilized a variety of energy sources including human, animal, wind, solar, and early electric technologies powered by coal, gas and hydroelectric power. It then discusses how oil and gas became dominant in the early 20th century, and how nuclear power first provided electricity to the Los Angeles power grid in 1957. The document argues that choices between technologies are often marginal, and that both new and old technologies can coexist for a time.
Joseph Kwasnik at Opportunity Green 2009
AlterEcho is an experienced sustainability consulting firm that provides strategic guidance to help organizations reduce environmental impacts, lower costs, and improve public image. A McKinsey report found that the US could reduce energy usage by 23% by 2020 through efficiency improvements, avoiding $1.2 trillion in wasted energy and $520 billion in needed investments. For cities and utilities, opportunities exist in energy efficiency programs, smart grids, renewable integration, and replacing gas distribution pipelines to reduce emissions.

Muyres argues that we need a new vision for how to move people and goods more sustainably, and proposes assembling a visionary team to create innovative solutions for future transportation in the United States. The goal would be to build an exciting future and new business models around sustainable personal, shared, and mass transportation options.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio Problem
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

How to Invest in Cryptocurrency for Beginners: A Complete Guide
Cryptocurrency is digital money that operates independently of a central authority, utilizing cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on a technology called blockchain. Each cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on a public ledger, ensuring transparency and security.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.
