Ceda Sustainability What It Means For Our CitiesPracsys
The document discusses the importance and challenges of cities in achieving sustainability. It notes that cities are increasingly critical to economic prosperity but face issues regarding productivity, sustainability, and quality of life due to factors like urban sprawl, population growth, and demands on resources. Achieving sustainability will require coordinated efforts across areas like transportation, energy, water, and food systems through innovations that encourage dense, connected urban development and diversified, local and renewable sources.
The document discusses smart cities and how infrastructure and construction can adapt to create more sustainable urban environments. It defines a smart city as one where the environment shapes the city rather than the reverse. Key aspects of smart cities include integrated ICT technologies, innovative urban design, planning for people and resource flow, and responding to climate change through renewable energy and public transit. The future of construction planning is outlined as focusing on sustainability, multi-scale and area planning, and making core city systems like buildings, electricity, healthcare, industry, traffic and transport smarter and more connected.

The document summarizes a report that investigates the economic, social, and environmental benefits of climate change mitigation actions in cities. It finds that investments in areas like building retrofits, bus networks, and renewable energy can generate millions of jobs, save households billions, and prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths from air pollution worldwide. Specific policies are estimated to create over 13 million new jobs and avoid 1.3 million premature deaths annually by 2030 while saving commuters time and money. The report was commissioned by organizations focused on climate action in cities.
By 2050, 8 billion people will live in cities, placing increasing pressure on resources and the environment. Future cities will need to cut energy consumption through sustainable design like passive housing and dense, mixed-use neighborhoods to reduce emissions. New mobility systems using real-time data and shared infrastructure can replace car dependency. Parametric design connecting cities to their environments can help achieve sustainability goals. However, integrating growing informal settlements of 2 billion new "squatters" by 2030 into prosperous, socially inclusive cities will be a challenge requiring regenerating existing communities over rebuilding.
How do you envision the city of the future? Nacho Quero
The document discusses how cities of the future may address current problems like overpopulation, pollution, and energy efficiency through three sentences or less:
Cities of the future will empower families to plan their size, promote social norms for smaller families, and ensure everyone has access to reproductive healthcare to address overpopulation. Pollution from cars and industries will be eliminated by requiring all vehicles and buildings to be electric, solar-powered, and green to be clean. Renewable energy sources will provide 100% of the energy consumption to improve efficiency from the current 11% through solely using pollution-free renewable sources like solar and eliminating fossil fuels.

This document discusses megacities and the challenges they face. It notes that the number of megacities, defined as cities with over 10 million inhabitants, has grown from 2 in 1950 to over 20 currently. Megacities experience problems related to food, pollution, infrastructure, mobility, and waste management. While technology offers solutions, it needs to be implemented carefully and consider the local context and stakeholders. Solutions that work well in one city may not translate directly to another due to differences in culture, economies, and priorities.
This document discusses several local sustainability initiatives and programs including Local Agenda 21, sustainable development indicators, sustainable lifestyles, climate change mitigation and adaptation, best practices in resilience, local renewables and energy efficiency, model cities projects, local government climate roadmaps, the Cities Climate Center, water governance and efficiency, local action for biodiversity, sustainable procurement, and sustainability management instruments. It also mentions partnerships, guidance materials, and capacity building efforts around these topics.
Municipal E Waste Recycling Consortium 101909egpytel
The document discusses the formation of a Municipal E-Waste Recycling Consortium to help municipalities in Illinois deal with a new state law regarding electronics recycling. It notes that the law makes electronics manufacturers responsible for recycling e-waste but that municipalities find it difficult to work with the free market system on their own. The consortium would bring together interested communities to collectively enter the marketplace, educate members on the new legislation, and meet with stakeholders. It outlines the timeline and goals for establishing partnerships with manufacturers and recyclers to rollout an e-waste program in early 2010.
The document discusses humanity's increasing ecological footprint and the concept of "ecological creditors" and "ecological debtors". It notes that humanity's footprint has exceeded what the Earth can regenerate since the 1960s and presents data showing the annual deficit accumulating into a global ecological debt. It advocates that countries, cities, and communities need to urgently reduce their footprints through transformational changes to achieve environmental sustainability.
L.how do you envision the city of the futurebaldo80
The document envisions the city of the future as medium-small in size, prosperous, and dynamic. Key characteristics include being green through increased vegetation and tree planting, sustainable through public transportation, mobility services, and green/efficient buildings, and high-tech through real-time travel information, smart lighting, and dashboards. The overall vision is for a livable city that offers high quality of life and supports people's health, well-being, and opportunities through being green, sustainable, and utilizing high technology.
The Project Green City Plan 2020 aims to reduce carbon emissions in the city by 33% by 2020 through various green initiatives. These include developing solar and green jobs programs, retrofitting homes and public buildings with green upgrades, expanding renewable energy infrastructure like solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations, and ensuring food and water security through projects like high-performance greenhouses. The goals are to transition the local economy and workforce towards green technology, make the area a leader in solar energy production, and prepare for future environmental challenges through sustainable development. The next steps outlined are to develop more detailed green retrofit and job training plans working with the local college, and establish a Green Technology Empowerment Center to support green businesses.
Goldman Sachs has financed $65 billion in clean energy projects around the world and structured $14 billion in weather-related catastrophe bonds. They have also led innovative transactions to expand the green bond market, including the first century green bond. Goldman Sachs' GS SUSTAIN investment strategy has outperformed the broader market by over 40% since its 2007 launch. The company has invested $3 billion in greening its own operations and provided $13 million in funding for environmental partnerships through its Center for Environmental Markets.
The document discusses energy management and sustainability in cities. It provides examples of cities around the world that are transitioning to more sustainable practices in response to issues like peak oil and economic crises. Cities discussed include Vancouver, which uses hydroelectric power; Florida's planned first solar-powered city; and Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, which aims to generate more energy than it uses. International collaborations on green building are also mentioned. The conclusion emphasizes that a transition is needed away from oil-dependent infrastructure as global oil production peaks.
The document discusses the need for societies to transition to low-carbon models in order to address climate change. It notes that climate change poses severe economic risks and impacts. The document advocates for a new "We Can" era focused on distributed and shared production, services, and goods through peer-to-peer networks as an alternative to the consumerism of the past. This approach could help engage people in cooperatively creating their own and societies' well-being.
The document discusses sustainable cities and the role of energy. It notes that urban land expansion is increasing globally and in OECD countries. Sustainable cities should be the main target for construction and are achievable now through holistic approaches and projects like Hammarby Eco-cycle. Key challenges include governance and transparency while involving residents. Energy is an important part of sustainable cities but we are still in the early stages and need to learn from each other.
Clean Rivers, Clean Lake 8 -- Restorative Economics -- Matt HowardSweet Water
The document discusses how restoring water resources can drive economic growth in Milwaukee. It outlines Paul Hawken's concept of a restorative economy that aligns environmental and economic interests. Specifically for Milwaukee, improving water quality capitalizes on historical water-dependent industries and assets. Recent projects show the city's focus on redeveloping contaminated land while managing stormwater. The mayor's goal is to strategically link environmental action to new economic opportunities in water technology and making Milwaukee a more livable city.
Presentation by Sir Mark Walport at the Foundation for Science and Technology discussion on 'Cities of the future – science, innovation and city management', June 2013
The document discusses cities leading efforts to address climate change. It notes that 62% of cities have developed climate action plans, 50% have special units in mayors' offices for climate policy and action, and 60% have established greenhouse gas reduction targets. Cities are collaborating and pioneering new technologies with local businesses. Addressing climate change is improving energy security and life quality while sharpening competitive advantages for cities like Hong Kong. The document encourages cities to take climate action to the next level by investigating funding, engaging businesses and NGOs, and reporting climate data to CDP.

The document summarizes trends in urbanization and discusses strategies for more sustainable urban development. It notes that about half the world's population lives in cities, which are growing rapidly especially in developing countries. Issues caused by urban sprawl like air and water pollution, loss of open space, and longer travel times are discussed. The document then presents tools for urban planning like zoning, growth boundaries, and public transit to promote compact development and limit environmental impacts.
EFOW Year 2018 Presentation:Global Change, New Energy Realities & UN SDGsEnergy for One World
This document provides an overview of global changes between 2015-2018 related to energy, climate change, and sustainable development. It discusses organizing efforts across different levels including UN, regional blocks, countries, cities, communities, companies, and coalitions. It also covers opportunities in areas like renewable energy, energy efficiency, new business models, smart cities, and electric vehicles. Finally, it discusses the need for new leadership to manage complex change and multi-stakeholder partnerships required for transitioning to a sustainable future.
This document discusses the potential of tidal current power plants as a source of renewable energy. It describes the world's first commercial tidal current power plant, called SeaGen, located in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. SeaGen harnesses the power of tidal currents to generate electricity, producing enough to power 1,500 households. Tidal current technology is still developing but has significant potential given the strong tidal flows that exist in many parts of the world. The SeaGen plant demonstrates how tidal currents can be used to generate clean, renewable electricity from the ebb and flow of the tides.

The document discusses sustainability and the green economy from a historical perspective. It argues that we need to move from a quantitative focus on money and material accumulation to a qualitative focus on well-being and regeneration. A key aspect is redefining wealth and the economy to focus on human and environmental needs through approaches like extended producer responsibility, the service economy, and building community-based local economies.
l̂̂̂ î;The environmental revolution has been almost.docxSHIVA101531
l̂̂̂ î;
The environmental revolution has been almost
three decades in the making, and it has changed for-
ever how companies do business. In the 1960s and
1970s, corporations were in a state of denial regard-
ing their impact on the environment. Then a series
of highly visible ecological problems created a
groundswell of support for strict government regu-
lation. In the United States, Lake Erie was dead. In
Europe, the Rhine was on fire. In Japan, people were
dying of mercury poisoning.
Today many companies have accepted their re-
sponsibility to do no harm to the environment.
Products and production processes are becoming
cleaner; and where sueh change is under way, the
environment is on the mend. In the industrialized
nations, more and more companies are "going
green" as they realize that they can reduce pollu-
tion and increase profits simultaneously. We have
come a long way.
fer to as its carrying capacity. Increasingly, the
scourges of the late twentieth century-depleted
farmland, fisheries, and forests,- choking urban pol-
lution,- poverty; infectious disease; and migration-
are spilling over geopolitical borders. The simple
fact is this: in meeting our needs, we are destroying
the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
The roots of the problem-explosive population
growth and rapid economic development in the
emerging economies - are political and social issues
that exceed the mandate and the capabilities of any
corporation. At the same time, corporations are the
only organizations with the resources, the technol-
ogy, the global reach, and, ultimately, the motiva-
tion to achieve sustainability.
It is easy to state the case in the negative: faced
with impoverished customers, degraded environ-

societies, it will be increasingly difficult for cor-
Strateqies for a Sustainable World
But the distance we've traveled will seem small
when, in 30 years, we look hack at the 1990s. Be-
yond greening lies an enormous challenge-and an
enormous opportunity. The challenge is to develop
a sustainable global economy: an economy that the
planet is capable of supporting indefinitely. Al-
though we may be approaching ecological recovery
in the developed world, the planet as a whole re-
mains on an unsustainable course. Those who
think that sustainability is only a matter of pollu-
tion control are missing the bigger picture. Even if
all the companies in the developed world were to
achieve zero emissions by the year 2000, the earth
would still be stressed beyond what biologists re-
porations to do business. But the positive case is
even more powerful. The more we learn about the
challenges of sustainability, the clearer it is that we
are poised at the threshold of a historic moment
in which many of the world's industries may be
transformed.
To date, the business logic for greening has been
largely operational or technical: bottom-up pollu-

This document summarizes a presentation on sustainable consumption and production, poverty alleviation, and climate change. The presentation discusses:
1) How sustainable consumption and production requires distributed innovation across systems to support both sustainability and economic growth.
2) The interlocking challenges of issues like resource depletion, climate change, and ensuring socio-economic welfare.
3) The state of the planet in terms of climate change, freshwater scarcity, and other environmental issues, as well as population growth, consumption patterns, and inequalities in consumption between rich and poor.
4) The need for businesses and societies to move towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns through approaches like eco-efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of l
Green economy Workshop Progetto Europeo MER Trieste 2013Umberto Mezzacapo
The document discusses the green economy and sustainability challenges. It notes that while agreements like the Rio Earth Summit and Rio+20 occurred, commitments to address issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequality have been lacking. Population and urbanization continue to rise rapidly, putting further stress on the environment and resources. Without changes to prioritize sustainability, greenhouse gas emissions are projected to increase over 50% by 2100, risking a global temperature increase of 3-6 degrees Celsius. However, the document remains optimistic that a green economy focused on social innovation, sharing resources, corporate social responsibility, and empowering green consumers and citizens can help address these issues if global cooperation and commitment to sustainability increases.
This document discusses the importance of transitioning to a circular economy model in India. It notes that India faces significant resource constraints given its large population but small land area and water resources. Adopting circular economy practices could help address these issues by promoting reuse, recycling and reducing waste. However, for circular solutions to be widely adopted they need to appeal to consumers based on three key factors - convenience, cost and consciousness. The document explores different business models and approaches that could help balance these three pillars to drive mainstream adoption of circular products and services in India.
The Sustainability Challenge: Implications for Tourism Anna Pollock
The document discusses the sustainability challenges facing tourism due to issues like climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. It argues that the current model of unchecked tourism growth is unsustainable and that a new paradigm is needed that focuses on quality over quantity, renewable resources, reducing environmental impacts, and engaging stakeholders. The document proposes 10 steps for the tourism industry to become more green, such as setting targets to measure and reduce their carbon footprint, educating visitors and businesses, and developing credible carbon offset programs.
Sustainability Back To The Future Or Forward To The Pastguest67299c
Sustainability refers to practices that can be maintained indefinitely without depleting resources or causing severe environmental damage. The document discusses how societies have moved away from more sustainable practices of the past through higher consumption, easy credit, and short-term thinking. It argues that to become sustainable again, societies must reduce waste and excess by using only what is needed, recycling, and shifting to a maintenance mindset rather than constant consumption. A sustainable society is possible and has been achieved before through balancing human activities with environmental protection. Strong leadership, communication, and collective action are needed to manage the transition.
Circularity and the SDGs: Pathways to a future possible?Zuhalnal2
This document discusses the unsustainability of current global resource use and economic systems. It notes that global material extraction has more than doubled since 1970 while material productivity has stagnated in recent years. This growing resource use is putting pressure on the environment and liquidating natural wealth. Transitioning to a circular economy and lifestyles within a 1.5 degree warming limit will require major innovation away from resource scarcity and reinventing economics to prioritize a healthy planet. Businesses ask for tools to measure and improve their sustainability performance in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The document discusses sustainability and how societies can transition to more sustainable models. It notes that past societies were more sustainable out of necessity, as people had to repair and reuse due to limited income and resources. However, modern societies encourage overconsumption, short-term thinking, and wasteful practices. To regain sustainability, societies must reduce waste, only use resources as needed, embrace recycling and repair, and shift to a maintenance focus rather than constant consumption. Making this transition will require leadership, education, incentives, and collective action, but can lead to improved quality of life while respecting environmental limits.

Co-chair UNEP International Resource Panel (IRP), Partner Systemiq
Colloqui di Martina Franca 2014 "Quale Economia per quale Benessere" - Pre-conditions and constraints on the way towards a green industrial revolution.
The document discusses the increasing strain being placed on global natural resources and the environment due to population growth, rising consumption, and inefficient resource use. It notes that decoupling economic growth from resource use and environmental impact is an imperative. However, markets alone will not drive the increases in resource efficiency needed and public policy is required. The transition to a new economic model that incorporates sustainability and circular economy principles could help address many of these issues, but meaningful system-level changes are still needed to avoid widespread environmental and social crises in the future.

Erasmus concurrentie en innovatie monitor 2014MVO Nederland
MVO Nederland organiseerde op 18 november de landelijke Dag van de Sociale Innovatie. In totaal werkten er zo’n 300 verschillende bedrijven aan 37 Innovatietafels door heel Nederland hard aan concrete oplossingen op het gebied van sociale innovatie. Zij wisselden ervaringen uit over de vraag: hoe houd ik mijn bedrijf innovatief en hoe onderneem ik slim in een veranderende economie?
In deze presentatie geeft Henk Volberda uitleg bij de Innovatie Monitor van de Erasmus Universiteit. Hieruit blijkt de noodzaak voor deze dag: Nederlandse bedrijven investeren aanzienlijk minder in sociale innovatie dan een jaar geleden.
Hoe communiceer ik als bedrijf over duurzaamheid? Bij goede communicatie over MVO zijn een aansprekende stip op de horizon en een open stakeholderdialoog belangrijk. Om mensen mee te krijgen is psychologisch inzicht cruciaal. Formuleer positief, maak MVO concreet, werk met rolmodellen en toon voorbeeldgedrag.

Mud Jeans crowdfunding via OneplanetcrowdMVO Nederland
Bert van Son van Mud Jeans lanceerde in januari 2013 Lease A Jeans, modeconcept waarmee je zorgeloos een duurzame jeans kunt leasen voor een vast, laag bedrag per maand. Met het Lease concept gooi je nooit meer kleding weg. Mud Jeans hergebruikt namelijk alle grondstoffen en maakt van de gerecyclede vezels weer nieuwe kleding. Bovendien omarm je hiermee de duurzaamheidstrend waarbij het gebruik van producten belangrijker wordt dan bezit. Mud Jeans laat zo zien dat kleding wel degelijk circulair kan zijn door grondstoffen als biologisch katoen opnieuw te gebruiken en hun producten te leasen.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
