Which of these areas is becoming more sustainable Health, water and food? The Environment? Economic stability? Communities?
We see most  heading in a counter –sustainable direction Health, water and food The Environment? Economic stability? Communities?
We need a model to help analyze development that will  show the way forward to:  A healthy life… Preserving the environment… Keeping organizations stable… And communities thriving.
Let’s sit down together and look at the way things behave around us and  how they affect other things It’s all about  BEHAVIOUR
We analyze the behaviour of people and systems and their effects on other systems Negative effect  < cause  < behaviour
Example: Pollutants to air, soil and water< car emissions < driving a car Negative effect< cause < behaviour
Healthy Environment We must limit the burden we place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations  From Individuals
Example: Pollutants to air, soil and water < car emissions  < driving a car   It sounds so simple. It is. If no-one ever  turned an ignition key , cars would never emit pollutants
Healthy Environment We can identify behaviour which is both positive  and  negative for the environment  From Individuals
Healthy Environment In turn, we can identify behaviour of the  environment  which is positive and negative for  individuals  From Individuals
People generally understand what crossing this line entails. And society has developed measures and regulations for this over the years. Healthy environment Nutrients, pollutants
And people generally understand what crossing  this  line entails. Healthy individuals Behaviour causing environmental depletion
This  aspect is well understood, too Healthy individuals Effects on health of environmental factors
Healthy Environment Communities  must limit the burden they place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations  From Communities
Example: Leakage of chemicals from landfil   <Deposition of domestic waste <putting waste in disposal bin
Leakage of chemicals from landfil   <Deposition of domestic waste <putting waste in disposal bin   It sounds so simple. It is. If no-one ever threw anything in the domestic rubbish, there would be no landfill leakage
Healthy Environment In the other direction, communities  benefit  from being in a healthy environment From Communities
Healthy Environment We must limit the burden  corporations and other organisations  place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations  From  organisations
Organisations must balance their budgets. Organisations with balanced budgets Healthy Environment Effectively using environmental services is good for them
Organisations with balanced budgets Companies contribute to the community by providing jobs, etc Thriving Communities
Healthy Individuals Thriving Communities Healthy Individuals contribute positively to organizations and the community Organisations
Healthy Individuals Health is good for companies and society Organizations in economic balance Thriving Communities
Healthy Environment Sustainability is a lasting dynamic balance between these factors  Healthy Individuals Thriving Communities Organizations  in economic balance
PUTTING THE MODEL TO WORK
Most of these interfaces have methods and measures developed which can be easily employed
ISO 14 OOO ISO 9 OOO  Global Reporting Inititative Carbon Disclosure Project ISO 26000 Human Rights ISO 19 O11  Environmental footprint
Start from where YOU are, in your neighbourhood, community, corporation. Identify Key indicators for areas of concern and for assets assets concerns assets concerns assets concerns assets concerns
For each key measure, give a REASONABLE* objective level of 100 X Identify current situation Identify reasonable rate of change Measure progress Time  > *  Reasonable = promoting sustainable development 100 50 0 150
X Time  > Use these results to work out how to ensure trends go in a sustainable direction 100 50 0 150
