HC 9 sept 2022 notes Sustainable development

Wat is duurzame ontwikkeling?

Voorzien in huidige behoeften van mensen zonder behoeften van toekomstige generaties te
beperken

- Hangt af van je wereldbeeld
- Kritische reflectie is van belang


- Streven naar ontwikkeling, rekening houdend met:
o Draagkracht van de aarde-> ecologie
o Sociale rechtvaardigheid-> sociologie
o Economische potenties-> economie
- 3 pijlers “triple-p”
o People
o Planet
o Prosperity (profit)


HC 1

Sustainability (ecology)= the potential of an ecosystem to subsist over time

Sustainability (environmental science)= the capacity of the earth’s natural systems and human
cultural systems to survive, flourish and develop, now and in the future

Sustainability science-> probes interactions between global, social, and human systems, the
complex mechanisms that lead to degradation of these systems, and concomitant risks to
human well-being

Environmental science-> is an interdisciplinary study of how humans interact with the living
and nonliving parts of their environment
- To learn how nature works
- To understand how we interact with the environment
- To find ways to deal with environmental problems and to live more sustainably


Sustainable development first mentioned in World Conservation strategy (IUCN, 1980)


Our common future (WCED, 1987, Brundtland report) is better known, received

,Global challenges according to the report:
- Population and human resources
- Food security: sustaining the potential
- Species and ecosystems: resources for development
- Energy: choices for environment and development
- Industry: producing more with less
- The urban challenge


Sustainable development goals since 2015

Milieuwetenschappen doelen

Begrijpen:
- Op welke manier functioneert de natuur
- Beïnvloedt het milieu de mens

Wederzijdse invloed van maatschappij en milieu


Milieu= fysieke, niet-levende en levende omgeving van de maatschappij, waarmee deze in
wederkerige relatie staat

Bestaat uit natuurlijk kapitaal:
- Natuurlijke hulpbronnen (natural resources)
- Ecosysteem services (ecosystem services)


Natuurlijke hulpbronnen

Hulpbron-> alles wat uit het milieu wordt gehaald om aan menselijke behoeften te voldoen

Inexhaustible
- Solar energy
- Wind energy
- Geothermal energy

Renewable
- Tree
- Water
- Topsoil

,Nonrenewable (exhaustible)
- Fossil fuels
o Oil, natural gas, coal
- Iron and copper, minerals


Duurzaam gebruik van natuurlijke hulpbronnen?

- Vernieuwbaar
o Kennis van herstelsnelheid en gebruiksnelheid
- Niet vernieuwbaar
o Vaste hoeveelheid (voorraad)
o Hergebruik, circulaire economie


Betekenis van milieu voor maatschappij

Natural capital= natural resources (air) + ecosystem services (air purification)

Ecosystem services= the benefits people obtain from ecosystems

Four kinds of services

- Provisioning-> things that give us resources (food, water, wood, fiber, fuel)
- Regulating-> regulate the climate, disasters, sickness
- Cultural-> aesthetic, spiritual, educational, recreational
- Supporting-> processes that happen within ecosystems that make them function and
endure (nutrient cycling, soil formation, primary production)


Consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being

- Security-> personal safety, secure resources
- Basic material for good life-> adequate livelihoods, nutrition, shelter
- Health-> strength, feeling well
- Good social relations-> social cohesion
- Freedom of choice and action-> can be achieved when others are met


Betekenissen van het milieu

- Security, health
- Basic materials for good life

, - Good social relations
- Intrinsic value


De milieucausaliteitsketen

Maatschappelijke activiteiten-> veroorzaken milieudruk-> heeft effect op het milieu->
veroorzaakt een reactie in de maatschappij-> kan beleid/maatregelen beïnvloeden-> leidt tot
maatschappelijke activiteiten


Gebruik frameworks bij analyses van vraagstukken
Ketenperspectieven zijn nuttig omdat problemen gecompliceerd zijn en complexe systemen
Systeem, veel oorzaken, effecten

Gebruik het triple P model (of anderen) om je te leiden om oplossingen te bedenken


Drivers van problemen
- Toename van populatie (demographics)
- Consumptie (economic processes, consumption, production, markets, trade)
o Media consumptie stijgt
- Human development index
o Life expectancy
o Level of education
o Gross national income / capita (PPP dollars)


Analyse oorzaken

- Population growth
- Unsustainable resource use
- Poverty (divided world)
- Excluding environmental costs from market prices


Sustainable development = development that meets the need of present humans without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

It is a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investment, the
orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and
enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations
