8. Education | Sustainable Development sustainability and sustainable development are not always the same thing,and it is helpful to bear this in mind when exploring the issues. http://www.sepa.org.uk/education/sustainable_development.htm

Sustainable Development What is sustainable development? Sustainable development is a phrase which is used increasingly in all sorts of publications and announcements, but what does it really mean' The government view is that it means 'ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come'. The 1992 United Nations 'Earth Summit' used the now-famous definition from the report of the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development - the Brundtland Commission: 'development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. The core meanings of sustainable development now have broad agreement. They are: that the environment must be protected, to preserve essential ecosystem functions and provide for the well-being of future generations that environmental, economic and social policy must be integrated that the goal is improvement in overall quality of life, not just income growth that poverty must be ended, and resources more equitably distributed

What is BSDglobal all about? Business has entered into a new phase in which sustainable business performance is regarded as: A global competitive advantage A catalyst for innovation A way to capture new market and financing opportunities Consumers demand that goods and services be produced by socially and environmentally responsible companies. Bankers and investors evaluate companies and make decisions, considering both environmental risks and environmental market opportunities. Consequently, more companies are discovering the benefits of going beyond regulatory compliance, toward sustainability. Business and Sustainable Development (BSD): a global guide is intended to encourage business people to develop a vision of a sustainable company, translate that vision into a management action plan and turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. The original site was developed with support from the Canada Manitoba Infrastructure Works Program. Go to BSDglobal.com! We have launched a new website to replace these pages.
