Interdisciplinary Education On Sustainable Development
out our work in environmental and sustainable development education and communicationby going to our client service's page on Education In sustainability.
http://www.eeeee.net/sd03025.htm

Extractions: Global sustainable development action has not progressed as many would have hoped. People frequently recite the word "sustainable" as though saying it often enough will solve our problems. We must recognize the First Law of Sustainability: population growth and/or growth in the rates of consumption of resources cannot be sustained (Bartlett, A.A. 1998. Reflections on sustainability, population growth, and the environment. Renewable Resources Journal 15(4): 6-23). The shift that must occur is one of bringing awareness and understanding to the people who can make the most difference, the average global citizen, in a context that decodes and de-mystifies the science behind potential solutions. Likewise, in our quickly advancing technology and information age traditional education must begin to focus upon encouraging students and citizens to "think outside the traditional box" if they are to fit into the technological society of tomorrow, be successful as professionals, and/or have the ability to strongly influence a sustainable future through the informed and effective use of science, mathematics, and technology in decision-making. Science for example, is a valuable tool to examine the understanding of our place in nature and the utilization of natural phenomena for human purposes. We can and should design education programs, however, that will also provide opportunities to place science in the proper perspective.

The Authors note that all of the points being raised by the industry were addressed in the original report, and that therefore they see no reason to reconsider their findings that government subsidization of the metal mining industry in Canada has increased substantially since 1995, while the sector's economic contribution has been in decline.

http://www.eurofound.ie/themes/sustainability/

Extractions: Context Sustainable development is the achievement of continued economic and social development without detriment to the environment and natural resources. The quality of future human activity and development is increasingly seen as being dependent on maintaining this balance.
