Ecological Sustainable Development
… Environmental, Social and Economic Aspects
Over the past 10 years, growing environmental concerns, coupled
with public pressure and stricter regulations, have caused Universities
and other institutions to focus on Ecological Sustainable Development.
The Brundtland Report defines ESD as:
'Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.'
In June 2002, an AAPPA (now TEFMA) Workshop titled, 'The Environmentally
Responsible University' was held. The workshop highlighted the need
to develop strategies for a sustainable future. The broad interest
in this area has lead to this topic being repeated in 2003.
This site provides tools and links to assist you to incorporate
sustainability concepts into a range of areas.
