Concerns and encouragement
What encourages me about the concept
of sustainable development is that: 1) everyone's needs must be
addressed, even those who do not have a voice or strong enough voice. 2) it
sometimes challenges the status quo: political systems, economic systems and
the existing value system. 3) it is an iterative and evolving process.
Changes needed
We need more sincere communication between various
parties at the local, national , regional and global level; creating safe
forums so everyone can participate, making it all inclusive; incorporating
environmental cost to doing business; incorporating the worth of "
women's" unpaid work into economic analysis and economic decisions.
Miscellaneous comments
My company is taking a pro-active approach
to understanding and incorporating the concepts of sustainable development
to our project management. We are currently forming a " Sustainable
Development Think Tank" which is multidisciplinary, multicultural and
gender balanced.
