ESD Programs
UNU’s Environment and sustainable Development
(ESD) Programme focuses on the interactions
between human activities and the natural environment,
and their implications for sustainable human
development.
Based on an appraisal of current challenges and the
targets set forth by the global community through the
WSSD and Action Plan, etc., ESD has defined four
broad thematic areas to concentrate future research as





Sustainable Urbanization
Management of Fragile Ecosystems
Solutions to Water Crises
Environmental Governance and Information
Programme Development based on Holistic View of
Environmental Transitions

Changing unsustainable patterns of
consumption and production



All countries should promote sustainable
consumption and production patterns, with the
developed countries taking the lead……
Encourage and promote the development of a
10 -year framework of programmes…….
Develop production and consumption policies
to improve the products and services provided,
while reducing environmental and health
impacts, using, where appropriate, sciencebased approaches, such as life-cycle analysis…..

Changing unsustainable patterns of
consumption and production




Enhance corporate environmental and social
responsibility and accountability…….
Prevent and minimize waste and maximize reuse,
recycling and use of environmentally friendly
alternative materials…….
Promote an integrated approach to policy -making
at the national, regional and local levels for
transport services and systems……
Sound management of chemicals throughout their
life cycle and of hazardous wastes……..

Brundtland Type
"Sustainable Development is
Development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. It is not a fixed state of
harmony, but rather a process of change
in which the exploitation of resources,
the direction of investments, the
orientation of technological development,
and institutional change are made
consistent with future as well as present
needs." (Brundtland Report 1987)

Transformation of
Environmental Issues
Environmental Issues change very quickly
in all countries and on the Earth
What kind of Explanation for the Changes?
Developed Countries:Which Direction to
move?
Developing Countries:What is the
interpretation? How is it possible to apply
to own countries?
