SERI and social sustainability

SERI is sharpening its profile in the field of social sustainability. While preparing project applications, SERI established contacts to scientists from different disciplines interested in this issue, and we hope to extend and intensify this network long before the applications have been decided about and regardless of the outcome of the decision.

Roman Mesicek at Helsinki conference

Roman Mesicek spoke on Material flows and natural resources, in the light of current technological advances of society, in front of Government and local administrators, policy makers, scientists and experts, private sector State and Possible Futures of Natural Resources on February 6-7, 2002 in Helsinki, Finland.

The two-day-seminar explored the state and future of natural resources from both scientific and practical perspective. On Wednesday, a mini-seminar for invited delegates dealed with biodiversity, sustainable use of natural resources and policy-making.

EASEY project

Roman Mesicek and Gisela Bosch took part in two workshops organised by the Project EASEY (www.easey.at) dealing with the impact the financial market could have on enterprises on their way towards sustainability.
The Project which is part of the Austrian cluster "Fabrik der Zukunft" (factory of tomorrow) plans to develop an sustainability index for the Austrian stock exchange market. Therefore it organises various workshops, to ensure stakeholder participation.

EU project on sustainability research in Europe

The EU Commission has awarded SERI its first EU project as project coordinator. Its duration is 18 months and is called:
"Adaptive Integration of Research and Policy for Sustainable Development - Prospect for the European Research Agenda."

Together with our five partners (The University of Durham, Centro de Estudos Informação e Formação para o Ambiente - CEIFA, The Wuppertal Institute, European Commission - Joint Research Centre - Institute for Prospective Technological Studies - IPTS, and European Commission - Joint Research Centre - Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen - IPSC) we will link in a mutual learning process several European research programmes aimed at sustainability-related technology development and evaluate them according to a jointly developed set of quantitative and qualitative evidence-based indicators. These indicators will reflect strategies that enabled RTD programmes to envision desirable sustainability futures, and develop means to foresee and overcome obstacles to the realisation of these futures. From these indicators a uniform methodological approach will be developed to evaluate RTD programmes across Europe, and the findings will support recommendations for the creation of pan-European programmes that more effectively integrate scientists, policy makers and stakeholders in the development of more sustainable production and consumption processes.

To learn more about the project please contact Gisela Bosch by eMail ([email protected]) or visit the following website: www.airp-sd.net

SERI study on the ecological effects of immigration into Luxemburg

Philipp Schepelmann and Stephan Moll are working on a study for the Environmental Ministry of Luxemburg to evaluate the effects of migration on the environmental pressure to the country.

While Luxemburg has currently a population of around 440.000 the national statistical office is expecting an increase to about 700.000 inhabitants by the year 2050. In a recent poll by Friends of the Earth Luxemburg almost 40% of Luxemburg's population is against any further immigration into Luxemburg. There is a risk that further population growth could have negative consequences on Luxemburg's consumption of resources and quality of life.

In this context SERI has assessed the impact of a population growth on:
1. Energy consumption;
2. Traffic;
3. Built-up area;
4. Waste.

For more details please contact Philipp Schepelmann.

Book reviews and announcements from SERI members and related writers and publishers

A new book by Fred Luks:

"Die Zukunft des Wachstums. Theoriegeschichte, Nachhaltigkeit und die Perspektiven einer neuen Wirtschaft"
(The Future of Growth. History of theory, sustainability and perspecitves of a new economy)

Sustainable Development requires considering whether more growth of the economy is possible and desirable. In this context, Die Zukunft des Wachstums (in German) analyses different notions of "stationarity" that have been discussed in economic theory since Adam Smith. The relevance of authors like Mill, Jevons, Keynes and Schumpeter for the current discourse on sustainability is shown. To connect the works of these scientists to the work of ecological economists like Boulding, Georgescu-Roegen and Daly remains an important task if economic theory is to contribute to sustainable development.

Content:
I Development - Growth - Stationarity: 1 Introduction / 2 Sustainable Development between Growth and Stationarity / 3 From "Limits to Growth" to "Steady-State" / 4 A History of the Environment of the Economy / II History of Economic Theory: 5 On the History of Theory / 6 Classical Political Economy: The Stationary State as the End of Economic Development / 7 Marx, Jevons, and the Transition to Neoclassicism / 8 Schumpeter's Stationary States: The Opposite of Development / 9 Between Schumpeter's Development and Neoclassical Growth: Stationarity as a Positive Vision for the Future / 10 Neoclassical Growth Theory: From Analytical to Ontological Stationarity? / III Conclusion: 11 Lessons from the Past of Economics for the Future of the Economy / 12 Beyond Growth: The Future of Development.

"Strategic sustainable development - selection, design and synergies of applied tools"

Abstract
The number of tools and approaches to develop sustainability is growing rapidly. Sometimes they are presented as if they are contradictory or in competition. However, a systems approach consistent with basic principles and the requirements of sustainability shows that these tools are complementary and can be used in parallel for strategic sustainable development. In fact, it is only when using these approaches outside of the systemic context of sustainability that they become contradictory. This paper is a collective effort of scientists who have pioneered some of these tools and approaches.

The paper maps essential elements for developing sustainability and documents how these elements relate to the application of the respective tools. The objective is to show how these tools and approaches relate to each other and build on each other when used for planning for sustainability.

New report from SustainAbility, London

SustainAbility has announced the launch of its latest report:
Good News & Bad: The Media, Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development. The media is one of the most powerful, yet least trusted and least accountable institutions in the world. And it has a crucial role to play in the transition to sustainability. So SustainAbility decided to take a closer look. "No other industry," the authors suggest, "will so powerfully influence how people and politicians think about (and act on) corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development (SD)."
