Some definitions
Discuss the following definitions
Who or what are they aimed at? Do they recognise limits of the
biosphere?

Sustainable development is
development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Our Common Future, World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED, 1987), (also known as the Brundtland Report)

Sustainable development Improving the quality of life while
living within the earth's carrying capacities.
(World Conservation Union / United Nations Environment Programme / World Wide Fund for Nature, (1991) Caring for the Earth: A Strategy for Sustainable Living.)

Sustainable development is about: ensuring a better quality of life for everyone
now and for generations to come. This means meeting five objectives at the same time, in the UK and the world as a whole: – improving the quality of life while living within the
earth's carrying capacities;– social progress that recognises the needs of
everyone;– effective protection of the environment;– prudent use of natural resources;– maintenance of high and stable levels of economic
growth and employment.
HM Government (1999), UK Government Sustainable Development Strategy, July 1999.

Huckle (1996, p 3)
Like liberty, justice and democracy,
sustainability has no single agreed
meaning.
It takes on meaning within different
political ideologies and programmes
underpinned by different kinds of
knowledge, values and philosophies.

Ways of measuring sustainable development
Indicators GDP (Gross Domestic Product)= (consumption + investment +
government spending) – (indirect taxes + exports – imports)
Human development index - lifespan, knowledge, and standard of living (GDP)
![Page 19: Sustainable development and sustainable living. Teaching and learning strategies for sustainable development What is sustainable development? – interactive.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033018/56649de85503460f94ae18c1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Human Poverty index
– probability at birth of not surviving to age 40,
– adult literacy rate, – population without sustainable
access to an improved water source, – children underweight for age, – population below income poverty
line

The Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare
ISEW = Consumer spending adjusted for income inequality + non-defensive public expenditure + Growth in capital + non-money contributions to welfare
minus
Defensive private expenditure – cost for environmental degradation – depreciation of environmental capital

Ecological footprinting
Put simply, the amount of the environment necessary to produce the goods and services necessary to support a particular lifestyle.
![Page 22: Sustainable development and sustainable living. Teaching and learning strategies for sustainable development What is sustainable development? – interactive.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033018/56649de85503460f94ae18c1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The first Footprint study of Wales showed that the average Welsh person uses 5.25 global hectares of resources
– if present global trends go unchecked, the human population would need three Earth-sized planets to sustain our current consumption patterns.
USA average is around 8ghapp
