Industry is on a three-stage journey from environmental compliance, through environmental risk management, to long-term sustainable development strategies. In the initial phase of the journey, the need to comply with environmental regulations drives improvements in environmental performance. Businesses adopt a more proactive approach in the next phase. Environmental risk management is introduced, to reduce environmental liabilities and to minimize the costs of regulatory compliance. A substantial number of companies recognize that the implementation of sustainable business strategies can lead to new opportunities and improved results - the business and sustainable development phase. The first step on the journey is compliance with regulatory measures.

    Extractions: Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development "Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development" is one of the four thematic programmes of the Fifth (EC) RTD Framework Programme (1998-2002). In addition to this programme, there is a separate Specific Programme on Nuclear Energy , based on the Euratom Treaty. Its objective is to help exploit the full potential of nuclear energy to contribute to energy and environmental objectives. For implementation purposes, the EESD Specific Programme is divided into two sub-programmes, Environment and Sustainable Development, and Energy. Within Environment and Sustainable Development, the work is divided into Key Actions and generic research activities Implementation of RTD activities is through calls for proposals launched according to a well-established time schedule. The budget of the programme is 2,125 million euro, 1,083m euro of which is for the Environment and Sustainable Development sub-programme and 1,042m euro for the Energy sub-programme (not including nuclear energy), for the period 1998-2002. The ESD programme is actively contributing to the implementation of the European Research Area in the domain of sustainable development:

    Extractions: The project Sustainable Development in the Highlands and Islands has been funded by DGXVI of the European Commission (EC) and has been undertaken by a partnership of local funding partners - all ten of the Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) Local Enterprise Companies (LECs), Scottish Office Development Department (SODD) and Scottish Office Agriculture, Environment and Fisheries Department (SOAEFD). HIE acted as project manager and expert support was provided by Environmental Resources Management (ERM). The project is one of twelve pilot projects across Europe funded by DGXVI to assist with the integration of sustainable development into current and future structural funding programmes.The Highlands and Islands project is the only Objective 1 study, the other eleven being conducted in Objective 2 areas. The Amsterdam Treaty of June 1997 placed sustainable development at the heart of European funding and led the EC to state, in its proposed new fund regulations, that regional development plans should be justifiable against the principles of sustainable development. As a result, the project Sustainable Development in the Highlands and Islands was undertaken to prepare for the likely significant changes to the new Highlands and Islands regional plan.

This compilation attempts to integrate the social, cultural, economic and ecological dimensions of sustainability, giving special attention to the human causes of environmental impacts, the social organization of sustainability and the equity of sustainable development. Our goal is to assist educators, students, business leaders, elected officials, public administrators and other community members in understanding the topic of sustainability.

     Extractions: 22 August 2002 Ten years on from the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, thousands of international policy makers gathered in Johannesburg between August 26 and September 4 at the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development. Politicians, scientists and pressure groups attempted to set out plans to counter the current global trend: that environmental degradation is the price to be paid for prosperity. Issues high on the agenda included depletion of fresh-water reserves, population growth, the use of unsustainable energy sources, food security, habitat loss and global health - all addressed in the context of social justice in balance with environmental sustainability. Science is no longer on the fringes in attempting to solve these problems. Unlike Rio in 1992, consultation with researchers from a host of relevant disciplines was widely sought during the summit's preparatory meetings, and organisations such as the Paris-based International Council for Science have been asked to submit formal contributions to the summit.
