Sustainability Ideas, Concepts And Approaches
Visão Geral
In 1987 a commission chaired by the former Prime Minister of Norway published a report containing one sentence that has shaped forty years of argument: development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It sounds uncontroversial until you notice how much is packed into it. Whose needs? Which future generations? And who decides when one has been compromised for the sake of the other?
This is the only topic in Global Skills Projects that is about ideas rather than about how to work, and it is the foundation for the whole group project: the first criterion asks you to recall and apply sustainability learning to the issue you have chosen. This lesson covers the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development, the economic, environmental and social dimensions with the specification's own examples, the role of national and global citizenship, and the background to the current debates and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. You will take one concrete case apart across all three dimensions, and find out why the interesting projects are the ones where the dimensions disagree.
