Meet Ed Connelly, NEI's New President Edward F. Connelly has been appointed to serve as NEI's second President. Ed takes over from Bill Shutkin, who established NEI in 1999. Bill leaves us to become President and CEO of the Vermont- and Colorado-based Orton Family Foundation. A long-time Massachusetts resident, Ed most recently has served as president and general manager of CleanScape, an award-winning urban revitalization enterprise in Providence, R.I., that he founded seven years ago. With a budget of $1.5 million and a staff of 30, CleanScape is an innovator in the field of sustainable economic development - particularly in distressed urban areas. It is the for-profit subsidiary of the South Providence Development Corporation. For more about Ed and his ideas for New Ecology, Inc., please click HERE George Perkins Marsh CHANGING THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM Owing to their density, mixed-use development, and existing infrastructure on the one hand, and historic ecological degradation on the other, urban areas present immense yet largely untapped opportunities for environmental improvement. Though often overlooked by environmentalists, urban development practitioners including CDCs, private developers, and universities are slowly but surely becoming important environmental change agents as they gain greater understanding of what sustainability means in practice and look for better environmental performance - from renewable energy to improved indoor air quality to restored wetlands - in their development projects. To speed up this process and achieve greater scale, these constituencies need to not only build their knowledge but also collaborate.

This is the most detailed description of the methodology employed by SEI so far. Research Background The Stockholm Environment Institute at York (SEI-Y) is well experienced in assessment methodologies such as Material Flow Analysis (MFA) and Ecological Footprint Analysis (EFA). These tools not only account for environmental impacts caused by the consumption of materials, products and energy but also provide a sound basis for evidence-based policy-making in endeavours such as regional planning, local strategic partnerships and sustainability appraisals as well as providing opportunities for environmental awareness-raising and education. The results quantify knowledge of environmental impacts and provide an essential point of reference for benchmarking, managing and monitoring progress.

This section provides a reference point for a number of definitions and key concepts associated with sustainable production and consumption. As we add to these references, we will link concepts to background resources and to the instruments which translate concepts into action. Concepts Definitions "[Sustainable production and consumption is] the use of goods and services that respond to basic needs and bring a better qualify of life, while minimizing the use of natural resources, toxic materials and emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations." Symposium: Sustainable Consumption. Oslo, Norway; 19-20 January 1994. "Sustainable production and consumption involves business, government, communities and households contributing to environmental quality through the efficient production and use of natural resources, the minimization of wastes, and the optimization of products and services." Edwin G. Falkman, Waste Management International. Sustainable Production and Consumption: A Business Perspective. WBCSD, n.d. "The emphasis of sustainable production is on the supply side of the equation, focusing on improving environmental performance in key economic sectors, such as agriculture, energy, industry, tourism and transport. Sustainable consumption addresses the demand side, looking at how the goods and services required to meet basic needs and improve quality of life - such as food and health, shelter, clothing, leisure and mobility - can be delivered in ways that reduce the burden on the Earth's carrying capacity."

Login The Development of Ecological Performance Indicators for Sustainable Systems The Development of Ecological Performance Indicators for Sustainable Systems D.R. Kemp , D.L. Michalk University of Sydney, Faculty of Rural Management NSW Agriculture, Orange Agricultural Institute Orange NSW 2800 Australia ABSTRACT Agricultural producers are interested in improving the sustainability of their farming systems. There has been a proliferation of benchmarking schemes to aid producers, with some resultant confusion in the mind of end users. These schemes usually emphasise financial and some biophysical indicators, but have less useful sustainability criteria. Sustainable systems need to incorporate an analysis of economic, ecological / environmental and social factors to define a more appropriate, optimal path. We are really only just starting to do this. This paper will discuss an approach to determining ecological performance indicators that can be used to manage farming systems more sustainably. Key words Ecological, performance, indicators, sustainability.

Introduction 2. Some basic characteristics of ecological modernisation theory Ecological modernisation theory focuses on the ways in which substance-flows-management can and 'should' be organised in modern society, arguing that such management or control pertains both to technological and social devices, and mechanisms. The fact that science and technology (both in hardware and software dimensions), receive a prominent position within ecological modernisation theory, has triggered some lasting misinterpretations which sometimes result in characterising the ecological modernisation approach as technocratic or a technological fix approach. Indeed, environmental reform in the ecological modernisation school, would mean resorting to the ultimate power of new technologies that ‘solve’ environmental problems without any real or profound social changes (Hannigan, 1995: 184).

Other Resources Introduction to Industrial Ecology The environmental problems created by industry stem primarily from the use of a strictly linear production process: extracting raw materials and fossil energy, processing the material and energy, and dumping the waste back into natural systems. In response, an innovative new theory termed Industrial Ecology is emerging to guide firms toward sustainable production. Industrial Ecology aims to incorporate the cyclical patterns of ecosystems into designs for industrial production processes that will work in unison with natural systems. In a seminal article "Industrial Ecology: An Environmental Agenda for Industry," Hardin Tibbs outlines six principal elements of industrial ecology: 1. Industrial Ecosystems
