Hanna Wetterstrand beskrev hur vi 旦verskrider eller redan har 旦verskridit planetens gr辰nser p奪 9 viktiga omr奪den d辰r jordbruket 辰r en bidragande faktor . 60% av jordens st辰der som kommer finnas 2050 har 辰nnu inte utvecklats och den snabba urbanisering f旦rv辰ntas sprida ut sig p奪 den b辰sta jordbruksmarken en jordbruksmark som beh旦vs f旦r att f旦da den v辰xande stadsbefolkningen. Hanna avslutade med att lyfta fram ekosystemtj辰nsternas betydelse och vilket v辰rde dessa har genom att illustrera effekterna den p奪g奪ende bi-d旦den (som f旦rorsakats av bek辰mpningsmedel). Mer 辰n 2/3 av den mat vi konsumerar idag 辰r beroende av pollinering och med den omfattande bi-d旦den m奪ste man nu i flera l辰nder pollinera manuellt.
(In Swedish) this slide pack explains how the ITK voluntary currency works - how it needs no clearing and how it can be used to drive projects where there are no resources available to get started.
1) The document describes land degradation issues in several regions and initiatives to address them.
2) In Northwest Zimbabwe, overgrazing has led to soil erosion, inability to hold water, and increased drought and flooding. The African Centre for Holistic Management mimics grazing patterns to reverse degradation.
3) In Eastern Cape, South Africa, lowered water tables caused soil loss and food insecurity. The Living Lands initiative restored land through tree planting, river restoration, and sustainable practices.
The document describes a simple model of the global carbon cycle using an analogy of a bathtub. It notes that 8 units of carbon are added to the atmosphere per year and this inflow is increasing, while 3 units drain into the land and oceans but this outflow is starting to clog. As a result, the level of carbon in the atmosphere rises by 5 units per year and is already higher than any time in the last 650,000 years. There is debate around whether carbon levels must be reduced immediately by 10% or if a 10% increase can be tolerated for another 16 years, but the conclusion is the same - the inflow of carbon must be reduced by around 80% to prevent catastrophic overflow.
The document summarizes Hong Kong's environmental levy scheme on plastic shopping bags which began on July 7, 2009. The scheme aims to encourage citizens to bring reusable bags by charging 50 cents for each plastic bag provided by prescribed retailers over 200 square meters or with 5 or more outlets. In the first two years, plastic bag usage decreased 27% while non-woven bag usage increased 96%, showing the scheme was effective at reducing plastic waste. However, issues around enforcement, evasion of fees, hygiene concerns and changing personal behaviors remain challenges. Recommendations to address these include recycling programs, stronger laws, incentives and more education.
Explaining resilience and how to measure it in your communityStephen Hinton
油
The document discusses the concept of resilience in municipalities, focusing on essential services and basic needs for communities, including emergency services, food, water, housing, and more. It introduces a Common Good Regional Matrix that helps stakeholders develop strategies for sustainable development while managing risks. Additionally, it highlights the importance of various types of capital, such as social, human, and built capital, in delivering services efficiently and sustainably.
This document discusses the need to shift from a "culture of fear" to a "culture of safety and sufficiency" in order to address issues like climate change and economic instability. It proposes focusing on local economies through the "Five P's" - Place, People, Products, Projects, and Payment systems. This approach aims to change the underlying narratives that fuel negative cultures based on scarcity, competition, and powerlessness. Local initiatives bringing people together around food, skills sharing, and celebration can help combine aspects of a "danger culture" focused on risk with a "peace culture" focused on community and positivity.
Market based incentives to drive circularityStephen Hinton
油
This document provides an overview of market-based instruments for advancing the circular economy. It describes how the economy can be viewed as a set of bathtubs with money flowing between citizens, enterprises, government and municipalities. Various types of market incentives are discussed, including subsidies, taxes, fees and trading schemes. The document emphasizes that instruments work best when implemented holistically to address market failures and incentivize circular products and services while ensuring a just transition. Upstream levies on extraction and imports are recommended, and research is needed on indicators to measure the effects of these market-based approaches to circularity.
The economy as bathtub: a simple explanationStephen Hinton
油
The document presents an analogy that conceptualizes the economy as a system of circulating money between citizens, enterprises, governments, local authorities, and banks. It describes how money is added to the system through bank loans for things like houses and cars. However, it notes that much debt has accumulated as people have borrowed more than they can repay. It then discusses potential ways to tackle unemployment, such as citizens spending more or implementing incentives for more hiring, but acknowledges there are many objections to consider regarding actual implementation.
The document outlines various challenges and solutions related to food security, water management, and community empowerment. Initiatives such as school gardens, rainwater harvesting training, and community mapping illustrate innovative approaches to local sustainability. These efforts foster kindness and cooperation among community members, while also engaging governmental support for environmental services.
The document discusses sustainable city design concepts proposed by Stephen Hinton Consulting, focusing on a circular layout that prioritizes walkability and efficient transport systems. It emphasizes the use of rainwater for domestic purposes and innovative underground logistics for goods movement. The design includes recreational spaces and water purification methods to enhance urban living.
The Story of the Humanitarian Water and Food AwardStephen Hinton
油
Shows what we are all about - finding innovative, sustainable initiatives that are changing food insecurity to laying the foundation of peace and prosperity.
The document discusses the importance of food security and entrepreneurship in relation to community development and sustainable practices. It highlights various initiatives and projects that focus on providing access to water and food, improving local agriculture, and fostering community engagement. Additionally, it emphasizes the role of awards and training programs in promoting innovative solutions that address local needs while caring for the environment.
Sustainable Economic Growth with pollution feesStephen Hinton
油
The document discusses the necessity of transitioning to a sustainable economy, using the Swedish Sustainable Economy Foundation's insights. It highlights the economic implications of resource leakage, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, and suggests implementing flexible emission control fees to manage substance use effectively. Additionally, it emphasizes the potential for a circular economy to boost economic growth while minimizing environmental impact.
The document introduces several members of the Selection Committee for the 2012 Humanitarian Water and Food Award. It provides brief biographies for each member, including their name, a quote, background and qualifications. The members are experts in fields like environmental security, peace and conflict resolution, engineering, water and sanitation, human rights, food security, and disaster relief.
Eco-units are sustainable areas covering approximately 50 hectares that integrate living, working, and food production while minimizing fossil fuel use and prioritizing self-sufficiency in food supply. They aim to create a close relationship with nature, featuring efficient water recycling and energy capture, which helps reduce costs compared to conventional living as energy prices rise. The model encourages cooperative efforts and provides members with accommodation, food, and communal services, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
Arno Rosemarin: Flexible fees workshops workshop sept 15 2011Stephen Hinton
油
The document discusses a workshop on flexible emission fees regarding phosphorus management, highlighting the geopolitical issues, particularly Morocco's phosphorus monopoly and potential depletion of resources. It explores various opportunities for implementing flexible fees throughout the agricultural and food supply chain to mitigate phosphorus surpluses while increasing yields through improved soil practices and nutrient management. Additionally, it suggests tax instruments to encourage recycling and alternative phosphorus sources in agriculture.

Flexible fees from a strategic sustainability perspectiveStephen Hinton
油
This document discusses strategic sustainable development and flexible fees from The Natural Step framework. It proposes that flexible fees, when combined with robust sustainability principles, can help accelerate the transition to sustainability by providing both incentives and funding. However, further exploration is needed regarding assumptions, objectives beyond resource flows, and policy landscape improvements. The Natural Step framework takes a systems perspective and provides a unifying structure to guide strategic planning and indicator development from local to global scales.
The document discusses the challenges and solutions for achieving sustainability in the economy, identifying political, economic, and informational barriers. It emphasizes the need for strong economic drivers, flexible control fees, and a futures market to manage risks and internalize externalities. The document also highlights the advantages of these measures, including enhanced democratic acceptance and reduced unemployment.
The document discusses Nordic cooperation on sustainable consumption and production. It outlines focus areas for an SCP working group such as resource efficiency, environmentally driven markets, and cleaner technologies and innovations. Specific priorities are mentioned like policy instruments for eco-design, public procurement, and using procurement to promote cleantech and energy efficiency in construction.
The document discusses the implementation of flexible emission fees, particularly focusing on charging at the point of extraction or import to manage resources like phosphorous and CO2. It highlights the economic impacts, such as increased food costs and the competitiveness of organic options, while also emphasizing the importance of recycling and pollution reduction strategies. The government is adjusting fees in response to oil import issues, reflecting a broader trend toward sustainable resource management.
The document discusses the concept of creating resilient villages that provide affordable shelter and nutritious food, promoting community responses to climate change. It outlines a phased business plan that includes legal organization, cooperative living, and personal development opportunities while emphasizing the economic benefits of such ventures. The text highlights the importance of teamwork, planning, and innovative solutions to tackle challenges related to sustainability and land use.
Eco village culture to and industrial economy city culture r1Stephen Hinton
油
The document compares life in an industrial economy city to an eco-village. In an industrial economy city, people live in large buildings built by others far away using materials shipped in. Food comes from large, processed corporations. Interactions are limited and decisions are made by distant elites. In an eco-village, people build their own homes and community together from local materials. Food is produced and consumed locally and seasonally. Everyone knows each other and makes decisions collectively. Work follows natural rhythms rather than constant activity.
The document discusses the concept of transition as a means of fostering community resilience in response to long-term economic challenges. It highlights various practical initiatives and community engagement efforts across different towns, such as food co-ops, local energy projects, and social enterprises. The focus is on collaboration, diversity, and innovative problem-solving to enhance sustainability within communities.
