Four sustainable development goals are addressed in this document. These are based on the three strategic objectives of the Department as well as an environmentally-sensitive objective, that of Greening Operations. Other topics covered are: sustainable development objectives, issues and action plans; economic growth and prosperity; building peace and security; Canadian values and culture; greening operations; strategy requirements and process; departmental profile; and consultations.
The mandate of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), as the lead government organization responsible for Canadian international co-operation, is sustainable development, which is not a new concept for CIDA. This document reviews CIDA's achievements and challenges, presents its approach to sustainable development, and outlines an action plan aimed at ensuring maximum developmental impact. Topics covered are: the sustainable development framework; CIDA's mandate; global needs; CIDA's strategy; the action plan; and, monitoring and reporting on progress.
The 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) brought together almost every country in the world in an effort to have the global community commit itself to the goal of sustainable development. Among its major achievements was Agenda 21, an ambitious plan of action on 39 environment and development issues. The United Nations subsequently created the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) to monitor progress towards achievement of UNCED's goals. This report of Canada to the CSD summarizes the progress, lessons learned, and challenges in achieving the goals of sustainable development. It concentrates on the chapters and themes in Agenda 21 that will be discussed at the next session of the CSD. It attempts to isolate the major trends and themes in Canadian responses to each of those chapters. It also includes short summaries of recent developments in topics related to the sectoral chapters discussed during the latest session of the CSD.
To date, climate change adaptation and mitigation have been treated separately both in research and in the climate negotiations. However, a growing body of literature is now being developed that points to actual and potential synergies and trade-offs between responses to climate change and sustainability. This literature has evolved in a spontaneous way with diverse approaches and no common methodology to help practitioners explicitly plan for these synergies. This special issue of the Climate Policy journal addresses this gap between scientific knowledge and practitioners' needs by focussing on linkages between climate change and sustainable development at the level of conceptual framework and methods. In particular, the papers address in an integrated way local development options involving both adaptation and mitigation in order to promote resilience to climate change in human and natural systems. The special issue provides policy and methodological guidelines for linking local deveopment pathways with responses to climate change, based on collaboration between local practitioners, the public and scientists.
How does the world of theatre and the performing arts intersect with the climate and environmental crisis? This timely book is the first comprehensive account of the sector's response to the defining issue of our time. The book documents a sector in transition and presents theatre professionals, practitioners and organizations with a synthesis of information, knowledge and expertise to guide them to their own endorsement of sustainable thinking and practice. It is illustrated with inspiring case studies and interviews, from London's National Theatre, to Sydney Theatre Company, to the Göteborg Opera and the American Repertory Theatre. These foreground the work of pioneering institutions and individual practitioners whose artistic ingenuity, creative activism and sense of public mission have given shape, content and purpose to what we can now call 'sustainable theatre'. Spanning almost three decades, the book approaches the topic from multiple angles and through an international perspective, recording how climate and environmental concerns have been expressed in cultural policy, arts leadership and organizational ethics; in the greening of infrastructure and daily operations; in the individual and institutional practice of sustainable theatre-making; in performing arts education; and in touring practices and international collaboration. It investigates, too, how the climate crisis influences theatre as a story-teller – on stage and beyond. Written by a leading expert in the field of culture and environmental sustainability and distilling many years of research and hands-on experience, Sustainable Theatre: Theory, Context, Practice is intended to be relevant and useful to professionals involved in the theatre and performing arts sector in many different capacities: from policy-makers, arts leaders and managers to administrators, technicians, artists, scholars and educators.
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le monde a connu une croissance économique exceptionnelle. Cette recherche de bien-être (collectif et individuel) n'a pas été sans conséquence sur l'environnement et les sociétés. Ce développement a ainsi un impact sur les ressources naturelles, la santé, la qualité de la vie avec les différentes formes de pollutions, etc. Mais en 1972, un nouveau concept ou paradigme a vu le jour : le développement durable. C'est la prise de conscience générale du fait qu'il faut changer de système de production et de consommation, préserver les ressources naturelles menacées partout dans le monde et faire des efforts pour lutter contre la pauvreté. Depuis quelques années, le développement durable est un moteur pour les actions d'investissement sur les plans économique, social et environnemental. Et si des progrès considérables ont été réalisés en matière de développement humain, d'immenses défis se posent encore. Des milliards de personnes vivent toujours dans la pauvreté, privées de leur dignité. Les inégalités persistent en termes de richesse et de capacité d'action, et bien des populations demeurent, hélas, très vulnérables. Catastrophes naturelles et sanitaires, recrudescence des conflits armés, terrorisme, épuisement des ressources naturelles, changements climatiques sont autant de menaces, qui se déclinent en défis à relever par le monde contemporain. Le développement durable est donc un processus sans exclusive et de long terme. Il conserve toute son actualité malgré les efforts réalisés tant à l'échelon international que national. Il a de plus été réaffirmé comme une nécessité en 2012, à la Conférence Rio+20, et a bénéficié en 2015 d'un cadre stratégique universel, le Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030, décliné en une série d'objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Mais la mise en œuvre du développement durable implique une mobilisation populaire et des actions pérennes à large spectre. C'est dans ce cadre que l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) a lancé l'initiative Objectif2030, qui vise à faciliter l'appropriation citoyenne des ODD et à soutenir les projets francophones les plus innovants pour la mise en œuvre du Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030.
This report summarizes a workshop organized by the National Academies' Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability. The workshop brought together a select group of program managers from the public and private sectors to discuss specific cases of linking knowledge to action in a diverse set of integrated observation, assessment, and decision support systems. Workshop discussions explored a wide variety of experiments in harnessing science and technology to goals of promoting development and conserving the environment. Participants reflected on the most significant challenges that they have faced when trying to implement their programs and the strategies that they have used to address them successfully. The report summarizes discussions at the workshop, including common themes about the process of linking knowledge with actions for sustainable development that emerged across a wide range of cases, sectors, and regions.
