Sustainable Development Overview
Total Systems Thinking
V: Value is created by satisfying human needs (improving genuine quality of life), in an economically viable way for designers, producers and customers in the supply chain
I: Ecological impacts derive from wastes and emissions entering the bio-sphere and physical degradation of eco-systems
The strategic ‘single bottom line’ objective is to greatly increase V/I (by ‘Factor X’)

Natural and Human wealth
Two real sources of wealth
• wealth that flows from our use of the earth’s life support systems = natural capital
• wealth that flows from the use of our hands, brains and spirits = human capital
All else - money, machines, institutions - is derived from these two primary sources of wealth.
Well-being
• Basic needs
• Interdependence
• Diversity
• Self-organization
Key characteristics of successful societies
What are our human needs?

• Definable
• Same in all cultures (but different satisfiers)
• Not interchangeable
• Possible to satisfy globally within ecological constraints
• Difference between needs and wants

Inhibiting Satisfiers
while satisfying one need, may well hinder its satisfaction in the
future and/or impede another need from being met at the same time.
+
Synergic satisfier
While satisfying one need, allows for its satisfaction in the future
and/or of other needs at the same time

Human Needs
In meeting our needs we shouldn’t undermine the capacity of others to meet their needs now or for future generations.

.Healthy productive ecosystems are the source of the materials that satisfy human needs.
Residents of countries with severe bio-capacity constraints are often among the countries with the largest human development challenges.

Climate change Impact
IPCC: Impacts
The poorest of the poor in the world – and this includes poor people in prosperous societies – are going to be the worst hit. People who are poor are least able to adapt to climate change.”(Rajendra Pachauri, IPCC)
In some African countries, yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 20% by 2020.

The challenge.
How, given the current situation, do we manage and allocate, today, the Earth’s resources for the survival of a projected global population of 9 to 10 billion people in 2050 – and for their offspring indefinitely?

ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL COURSE IN LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN URBAN AREAS 2009 AFRICA
1. Envision a Sustainable township in Kenya where all the basic human needs are met and people live within the 4
system Conditions.
Draw a crosse-section of the community highlight important landmarks and infrastructure.
2. What are the major stakeholders you need to involve in order to succeed.

Civil Society approaches
ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL COURSE IN LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN URBAN AREAS 2009 AFRICA
1. Non Profit approach• Charitable or philanthropic activities offereing health care, social
services, education, culture• Volonteering as additional resources
2. Mutual Approach• Organised to meet shared needs of members, such as self-help
groups, cooperatives• Areas of economic importance to members such as housing, banking
3. Movement approach• social movement tradition-civil rights, advocacy and social change
4. The future…closing the gap between corporates & Civil society through social enterprises
