Consumers, buyers and retailers today want environmental assurances, and industry needs to be confident that management of the environment, energy resources and waste support industry development and growth. Strategies to address these issues include: These issues are already being progressed by the food industry and by governments. The Environment Report 2003 of the Australian Food and Grocery Council reflects the significant steps taken by the food manufacturing industry to report on its environmental performance and identify key issues across the entire supply chain.

HIV/AIDS, other diseases Environment Global Partnership Regions South Asia Sub-Saharan Africa The environment provides goods and services that sustain human development so we must ensure that development sustains the environment. Better natural resource management increases the income and nutrition of poor people. Improved water and sanitation reduce child mortality, and better drainage reduces malaria. It also reduces the risk of disaster from floods. Managing and protecting the environment thus contribute to reaching the other Millennium Development Goals. Fortunately, good policies and economic growth, which work to improve peoples' lives, can also work to improve the environment. Targets Target 9 Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the losses of environmental resources.

About the Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) The Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) is a measure of overall progress towards environmental sustainability, developed for 142 countries. The ESI scores are based upon a set of 20 core "indicators," each of which combines two to eight variables for a total of 68 underlying variables. The ESI permits cross-national comparisons of environmental progress in a systematic and quantitative fashion. It represents a first step towards a more analytically driven approach to environmental decisionmaking.

Environmental Sustainability And The Redesign Of Agroecosystems

http://www.eap.mcgill.ca/Publications/EAP34.htm

Extractions: [http://eap.mcgill.ca/Publications/eap_head.htm] EAP Publication - 34 Environmental Sustainability and the Redesign of Agroecosystems Stuart B. Hill At some point in the future, agronomists will wonder how present day scientists could have continued to knowingly advocate the expansion of specialized production systems that emphasize practices such as chemically managed row-crop monocultures, which result in soil erosion and de gradation, and water exhaustion and contamination; or knowingly to stand idly by in the face of deforestation and desertification, loss of biodiversity, displacement of farmers and loss of rural communities, and increased dependence on nonrenewable resources, synthetic chemicals and antibiotics, subsidies, and markets that meet distant luxury desires versus local basic needs (Brown et al. 1984). My explanation of why this madness continues may be as shocking for the readers as witnessing the present level of degradation is for me. Throughout history we have invariably blamed others for our tragedies the gods, other nations, certain groups within society, lack of resources and power, multinationals, and political incompetencebut we have rarely examined the contribution of our own behavior, accepted our responsibilities , and set out to change our behavior . Thus my analysis of the situation is primarily psychosocial, rather than political, and that is exactly what makes such a proposition so difficult to accept, because for me this requires that I first recognize and act On my responsibilities and change myself before pointing fingers at others.

Extractions: Search ... Ecological Solutions Roundtable A new environmental sustainability initiative Canada's Green Plan As part of this new environmental sustainability initiative, The Green Plan will enable the Minister of Agriculture, on behalf of the Government of Canada, to enter into cost shared agreements with the provinces to implement preventative and corrective programs to address environmental sustainability issues in the agri-food sector. The actions to be undertaken through these agreements will reflect the diverse needs and opportunities that exist in the various agroecosystems across Canada. Initiatives that have been identified as priorities to be developed in cooperation with the provinces, farmers and other partners in the agrifood industry, include the following: Canadians understand the importance of achieving a secure and well-managed resource base of agricultural land and soil. Actions that will be pursued with the provinces include extension of the existing national Soil Conservation Program, establishment of permanent cover on environmentally sensitive lands, development of shelterbelts, research on soil-conserving production systems, and creation of a new Eastern Canada Soil Conservation Centre. A stable supply of high-quality water is essential for agricultural production. At the same time, agricultural activities can contribute to both surface and groundwater quality problems. Improper manure management can pollute lakes and streams; fertilizers and pesticides can contaminate groundwater. In areas susceptible to drought, more stable water supplies and improved irrigation can help conserve water and provide opportunities for both agriculture and other water users.
Finland Tops World Economic Forum's Environmental Sustainability Index
World Economic Forum. Environmental sustainability Index, links to HelsinginSanomat report in English, and - Columbia University summary of the Index.
http://virtual.finland.fi/finfo/english/enviro.html

Extractions: Hiidenportti National Park in Sotkamo, eastern Finland F inland's place at the top of the ESI 2002 ranking is due particularly to its strength in three keys areas of environmental protection, namely success in minimising air and water pollution, high institutional capacity to handle environmental problems and comparatively low levels of greenhouse gas emissions. T he practical research behind the index was conducted by the Universities of Yale and Columbia in the United States. Daniel C. Esty, Director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, and project director of the ESI, commented, "The ESI permits systematic cross-national environmental comparisons. Environmental decision-making has long been plagued by uncertainties and a lack of critical information...The ESI assists the move toward a more analytically rigorous and data-driven approach to environmental decision-making." F inland's success in the ESI 2002 follows close on the heels of an impressively long list of Finnish economic, technological and social achievements over the past few years. In 2001, for instance, Finland was ranked the world's most competitive and least corrupt nation whose teenage schoolchildren perform better than any others in reading and maths.

Background The second round of Foresight, Foresight 2000, was launched in April 1999 and will build on the successes of the first round, which ran between 1994 and 1998. Foresight aims to bring government, business and academia together to identify significant long- term market opportunities. Improving wealth creation and quality of life are key objectives. Three Thematic Panels, which address broad social and/or economic issues, and ten Sectoral Panels, which focus on business sectors or broader areas of activity have been established. In addition, there are two underpinning themes that all Panels take into account - Education and Training and Sustainable Development. NERC is committed to helping the government achieve this aim.

Extractions: Directory Departments FAQ ... Contact Us Please print this list out. The blanks on this page cannot be filled in online at this time. Commercial Green Building Design Checklist This list provides a quick reference to ensure a sustainable approach to the design and construction process. Outlined are considerations for Programming, Schematic Design, Design/Development, Construction Management, Commissioning, and Post Occupancy phases of projects. Generally, these items are measures which exceed our local building and land development codes, so requirements for the City of Austin do not appear on this list. It is not possible to perform every activity, but the goal is to check off as many items as possible during each phase of the design and construction process. It is important to set priorities for each individual building, to figure out which efforts will do the most good in each case. We recommend that the Owner develop a "Company Sustainability Policy" as a basis for prioritizing measures. This checklist can then serve as a guide to aid in the design process. Completion of this list nominates your project for the BEST Award (Businesses for an Environmentally Sustainable Tomorrow. And completion of this checklist entitles the design team for a Sustainability Bonus when basic requirements are met.
