The Relationship

Sustained yield is the amount or number of a resource that can be harvested without sending the resource into a decline. Sustainable development is development that meets the current needs of human society without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustained yield and sustainable development both encompass concepts of sustainability. This paper (1) describes the concepts of sustained yield and sustainable development, and (2) explores the linkages, or lack of linkages, between the two concepts of sustainability. The linkages between sustained yield and sustainable development are weak. The paper finishes by drawing some conclusions about the relationship, or lack thereof, between sustained yield and sustainable development, and posits that sustainable development should focus on sustainable management and use of natural resources, with socioeconomic issues such as poverty alleviation, women’s rights, displaced people, and trade liberalisation having their own statements or declarations.

Brundtland Report

Ever since the focus on cultural diversity and identities acquired prominence globally, there has been a shift in limiting sustainability only to environmental, economic and social dimensions. Culture is more than just the manifestation of culture, for example, ‘the arts’ and should be viewed instead as the ‘whole social order’ (Williams 1983). This naturally leads to an interrogation of the construct of sustainable development. The definition which emerged in the Brundtland Report (WCED 1987) is the widely accepted one and it states, “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Sustainable Financing

Domestic resource mobilization (DRM) has assumed increasing significance as a form of financing for sustainable development and economic growth in Africa. This chapter explores the present and future roles of international law concerning the regulation of this form of financing for sustainable development and economic growth in Africa, as well as the main obstacles and challenges of mobilising DRM in African developing and less developed countries. While there is a wide array of questions and issues related to this form of financing for development that international conferences and summits, in particular the Monterrey Consensus on Financing for Development and the Addis Ababa Agenda for Action, have addressed in various forms and with different emphasis and results, the chapter focuses exclusively on some substantial issues, such as the use of DRM for the financing of the new Sustainable Development Goals and the relationship between DRM and poverty alleviation actions and strategies.

AbstractOver the years, world market is integrating at much faster pace through increasing trade openness. Not being an unmixed blessing, consistent efforts have been made to examine impact of trade openness on economic, environmental and social welfare. This study is an attempt to empirically examine the implications of trade openness on sustainable development in India since liberalization policy 1991. We used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to test the relationship between sustainable development and trade openness along with other control variables that are supposed to affect sustainable development. The results established supports the opinion of environmentalists. The empirical results are contrary to the conventionally held belief, indicating that trade shares a negative correlation with green GDP growth and positive correlation with gap between conventional GDP and green GDP. These findings support the arguments that trade openness tend to be both distorting and detrimental to the future generations.

The intensive use of environmental and natural resources to satisfy human needs has risked the potential of renewable ecosystems and caused environmental problems. In order to respond to the problems faced, the current economic system has been interrogated. In the response emphasizing that future generations have the right to benefit from natural resources, the sustainable development approach has come to prominence. It has been observed that the issues of sustainable development and sustainability have been intensely discussed by higher education institutions since the 1980s. Until the Talloires Declaration (1990), the relationship between sustainability and higher education has been focalized to environmental education, with this declaration, the sustainability of higher education institutions has been brought to the agenda. The aim of this study is to examine Talloires Declaration on behalf of role, importance and transformations in establishing sustainable higher education institutions

The article considers the features of the development of modern cities from the point of view of the ecological approach. The main focus is on approaches within the framework of the implementation of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a new concept of scientific development, and sustainable development requires us to change not only the concept of economic development, but also the concept of social development. The development of the city as a social development and economic development is an important embodiment of the process of sustainable development, but also in the pursuit of the concept of innovation. The paper analyzes domestic and foreign literature within the framework of the research topic, as well as uses comparative, comparative and analytical methods. The author examines the main problems of city construction from the perspective of an ecological approach, based on the basic principles of ecological urban planning, the main content and ecological function of zoning, and also examines the ecological city and its relationship with sustainable development. Ecological cities are a necessary condition for the sustainable development of society. In the last few thousand years, the development of society has been based on the price of sacrificing the environment, where the main role belongs to cities as the core of human society. This is a rather negative development scenario that does not provide for long-term sustainability, as the potential of the environment is increasingly depleted. The current situation is becoming threatening, and if it is not changed, not only the survival and development of future generations will be under serious threat, but also modern man will be in a situation on the verge of survival. Thus, the process of building an ecological city will reverse this negative situation and will not only contribute to the provision of conditions for the normal life of the existing civilization, but also will protect future generations of people, that is, will contribute to sustainable social development. In turn, the sustainable development of society is to ensure the construction of an ecological city, and an integrated approach to this problem will allow achieving the harmonious development of ecological cities.

Definition Of

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. However, that concept lacks of clarity, which leads to various interpretations. Scholars have argued that the definition of sustainable development can be explained into four elements, namely the integration principle, sustainable use, intra-generational equity, and inter-generational equity. It analyses the elements of integration and sustainable using both legal and non-legal perspectives and shows how the elements have been recognized in various legal documents, while finds that various international commitments have indicated the growing concerns for conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Pembangunan berkelanjutan adalah pembangunan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan generasi sekarang tanpa mengganggu kemampuan generasi yang akan datang. Definisi pembangunan berkelanjutan dibagi menjadi 4 (empat), yaitu prinsip integrasi, pemanfaatan secara berkelanjutan, keadilan intra generasi, dan keadilan antar generasi. Artikel ini menganalisis prinsip integrasi dan pemanfaatan berkelanjutan. Artikel ini memandang bahwa prinsip integrasi harus diinterpretasikan dalam kerangka perlindungan lingkungan, sehingga memperoleh prioritas guna menyeimbangkan antara kebutuhan perlindungan lingkungan dengan kebutuhan akan pembangunan. Di samping itu, meskipun terdapat berbagai penafsiran mengenai pemanfaatan berkelanjutan, namun pengakuan tentang pemanfaatan berkelanjutan cukup untuk menunjukkan adanya peningkatan perhatian terhadap pemanfaatan berkelanjutan atas sumber daya lingkungan.

Sustainable development has become an universal phrase and the area of many policy initiatives, especially those regarding environmental organizations. The revision of the dimensions of sustainable development gives vital support to develop and implement indicators for them. The dimensions of sustainable development are inseparable and mutually reinforcing. Sustainable development actions depend on complexity and working with different interests of environment and development. It is impossible to predict what needs future generations will have. The obligation of the current generation is both to use and protect the world resources in ways that meet human development opportunities more justifiably today, but which do not exclude choices for such actions tomorrow. The aim of the research is to analyse the dimensions of sustainable development. More deeply, the research tasks are to outline the hierarchical organization of sustainable development criteria and indicators and to create a new paradigm of sustainable development dimensions. The methods of research are monographic, quantitative, deductive, and inductive. The key result: a new paradigm of sustainable development dimensions is created. Sustainable development is a concept, possibly surrounding closely every aspect of human society. The meaning of the dimensions of sustainable development is all the time in progress. There is a new approach to the dimensions given in the research. Sustainability could be understood better in terms of “here and now”, “later” and “elsewhere”. The existence of sustainability criteria guarantees sustainability in the long perspective. It can be suggested that the sustainability criteria analysis and their practical use could be further developed.
