The concept was first promoted by the World Conservation Strategy (IUCN/UNEP/WWF 1980), a global conservation blueprint that grew from the United Natio

The Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development and Johannesburg Plan of Implementation have been adopted by many governments and global institutions as a guide to environmentally compatible development.,5,What is sustainable development?,Despite three decades of discussion an
5、d practice, disagreement about what sustainable development can and does achieve continues. Sustainable development has been defined in many ways. (Table 16.1) Most definitions have been largely anthropocentric, focusing on human aspirations and well-being, with the natural environment providing the
6、 means by which this was to be accomplished.,6,Table 16.1 A list of common concepts included in definitions of sustainable development,What is to be sustained Nature Human communities (groups, places) What is to be developed People (child survival, life expectancy, health, food security, equity, edu

An economic, social, political, or biophysical system can develop without growing, and thus can be sustainable.,9,How are su
10、stainable development projects structured?,Sustainable development efforts have many additional names, including integrated conservation and development projects (ICDP), community-based conservation (CBC), community adaptation and sustainable livelihoods (CASL) projects, sustainable use, compatible
11、use, and sustainable practices. Sustainable agriculture and sustainable forestry.,10,Sustainable development projects typically use a number of economic tools to promote sustainability, including incentives such as certification, subsidies and grants, or job creation in sustainable enterprises, and
12、sometimes penalties, such fines or fees for continuing unsustainable practices. Legislation to protect key resources, and restrict or prevent damaging practices is another key tool in sustainable development. Sustainable development projects often are part of a larger strategy for landscape-or ecosy

14、t development options side-by-side with various criteria (Table 16.1) may best enable decision-making over the directions to take. The most extreme change is a project called “Hidorvia”, which would involve channelizing the Paraguay river to enhance barge transport of goods from the interior of Braz

Humility(謙卑) must guide our actions; good stewardship begins with restraint (克制).,16,We must appreciate the importance of “proper scale”. Place and locality are the foundation for all
19、durable economies, and must be the starting point of action to deal with our problems. Solutions are local and scale-dependent. Sufficiency must replace economic efficiency. Earths resources are finite, and this fact must be accepted in order for humanity to adopt limits. Living within our needs on

The “global community” should reflect and encourage diversity while being interdependent. Biological and cultural diversity must be
