http://home.earthlink.net/~rflyer/sustainablesub.html

Extractions: Sustainable Living A common view of sustainability is from the United Nations- "Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Who could disagree? But, when it comes to actually changing the way we do things, the UN never challenges, but instead embraces economic globalism and growth oriented solutions. A different view is that of Jakob von Uexkull, the founder of the Right Livelihood Award, who said: "you cannot simultaneously empower the people and the multi-national companies, you cannot combine local self-reliance with the primacy of global 'free' trade. The major components of the present order- scientism, industrial developmentalism, and nation-statism- tolerate no other gods." Sustainability comes from the Latin Root meaning to "support from below." To sustain means to maintain, to supply with nourishment, and to support the vitality of something. According to the Context Institute "A community must be supported from below - by its inhabitants, present and future. Certain places, through the peculiar combination of physical, cultural, and, perhaps, spiritual characteristics, inspire people to care for their community. These are the places where sustainability has the best chance of taking hold."

Extractions: This site provides a preview of access to resources relating to engineering and sustainable development The engineers of the world have gathered together in national engineering institutions, international engineering institutions, and in the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO). WFEO and its members have played a substantial part in establishment and support of sustainable development policies WFEO was established with the support of UNESCO in 1968. It now has a membership of some eighty national members and nine international members representing about 80% of the world's fifteen million engineers. In 1994 UNESCO invited WFEO to join forces with the Union of International Techological Associations (UATI) to form the International Council for Engineering and Technology (ICET), one of the twelve umbrella organisations formally associated with UNESCO. ICET and UNESCO have established a Framework Agreement which defines areas of common interest and modalities of co-operation. One of its the major programs is that to establish a World Virtual Library for Sustainable Development. (WVEL-SD) One of the principal international members of WFEO is the Federation of Engineering Institutions of South-East Asia and the Pacific (FEISEAP). It decided in 1996 to establish FEISEAP Net as a regional network for sustainable development. It was inaugurated on this site and was transferred to the management of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers in 1998. This site is now being used to develop approaches and demonstrate resources to be made available on the Australasian Virtual Engineering Library for Sustainable Development (AVEL-SD)

For us, sustainable development is about much more than greening a region or bringing divided communities back together: its about balancing social, environmental and economic concerns in the sure knowledge that we can only achieve a better quality of life by thinking smarter and working together.

Just because it is new does not mean that it is better - or at least not for everybody! The Commission therefore called for a form of sustainable development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs There are two key issues as part of this: Development is not just about bigger profits and higher standards of living for a minority. It should be about making life better for everyone and

Extractions: "Sustainable Development is Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is not a fixed state of harmony, but rather a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are made consistent with future as well as present needs."

The network will aim particularly to provide resources to teachers and lecturers, and will seek to meet the requirements identified within the developing countries. Each of the member nations of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and of the International Union of Technical Associations (UATI) , will be asked to become a supplier of material, or a user and definer of needs. The world wide network they establish will be a substantial aid to international sustainable development.

Extractions: Ecologically Sustainable Development of Fisheries Ecologically Sustainable Development (or ESD) is a dynamic concept that seeks to integrate short and long-term economic, social and environmental effects into the decision-making of government and industry. ESD was formulated over 10 years ago, but until recently has proved hard to implement effectively and demonstrate its achievement, in a practical manner. All Australian fisheries agencies and industry groups are committed to implementing the principles of ESD. This website is part of a national initiative to implement ESD within the management of all Australian fisheries and aquaculture resources. It is aimed at assisting fishery managers, the industry, environmental groups and the wider community in understanding:

Links here Developing the new UK sustainable development strategy In 1999 the UK Government launched its Sustainable Development strategy a better quality of life . It envisaged a full review after five years. In Scotland , the Executive published Meeting the Needs... Priorities, Actions and Targets for Sustainable Development in April 2002. Together with the UK Government, Welsh Assembly Government, and the Northern Ireland Administration, we want to create a new UK strategic framework for sustainable development, to be in place by early 2005. This will provide the background for separate strategies and plans by each administration to take forward action. This is an opportunity to take a fresh look at the UK 's approach to sustainable development and to step up action, building on the good work that has already been done by government and others. It is also an opportunity to take into account new challenges, such as delivering on our commitments from the World Summit on Sustainable Development, within our wider approach to achieving sustainable development.

Firstly, we're here to help enthuse and motivate councils and their partners to keep sustainability at the top of the agenda and share their best practice with each other. Secondly, we will vigorously pursue the sustainability agenda at the IDeA by building capacity and empowering our colleagues to embrace best practice in their own areas of work.
