THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
A SOCIAL AND PRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENTthat takes place within the limits set by the “nature” and meets the needs of the present without compromising those of the future generation within a world-wide equitable distribution of resources
1987, UN “our common future”; 1992 UN conf. Rio; 2002 UN conf. Johannesburg; 2006 UE Sustainable Development Strategy; etc…
Carlo VezzoliPolitecnico di Milano / INDACO dept. / DIS / Faculty of Design / Italy
ENVIRONMENTAL: CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL- not to exceed the biosphere and geosphere
“resilience”
SOCIO-ETHICAL- same resources (satisfaction) level for future
generations - equity in the distribution of resources (satisfaction)
ECONOMIC (AND LEGISLATIVE)- economically practicable solutions

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: ACTIONS

PREVENT THE POLLUTION

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: SCENARIOS
BIO-COMPATIBILITY resources flows compatible with the natural system
NON-INTERFERENCE “self-financing” of the artificial system’s resource flows
DEMATERIALIZATION reduction of the resources flows to satisfy a particular social demand of needs and desires
Carlo VezzoliPolitecnico di Milano / INDACO dept. / DIS / Faculty of Design / Italy
EQUITY PRINCIPLE [UN, Johannesburg, 2002] “every person, in a fair distribution of resources, has a right to the same environmental space, i.e. to the same availability of global natural resources” (or better, to the same level of “satisfaction” that can be achieved from these resources in different ways)
SOCIAL EQUITY AND COHESION [EU, SDS, 2006] “promotion of a democratic, socially inclusive, cohesive, healthy, safe and just society with respect for fundamental rights and cultural diversity that creates equal opportunities and combats discrimination in all its forms”
SOCIO-ETHICAL SUSTAINABILITY

ERADICATING POVERTY
. 1,1 billion people live on less than 1 US dollar a day
. 2,7 billion people (half the world) live on less than 2 US dollar a day
. 1 billion children (1 in 2 children in the world) live in poverty
. 11 million children die every year before fifth birthday
. 18 million people a year (1/3 of deaths) are due to poverty
. 400 million have no access to safe water
. 800 million people go to bed hungry every day
. 20% of world population uses 80% of natural resources
[the world bank, 2001-2006; UNFPA, 2001-2006]
THE SOCIO-ETHICAL DIMENSION: ACTIONS
Carlo VezzoliPolitecnico di Milano / INDACO dept. / DIS / Faculty of Design / Italy
[. eradicating poverty]. promotion of principles and rules of democracy. promotion of human rights and freedom. achievement of peace and security. access to information, training, employment. respect for cultural diversity, regional identity
THE SOCIO-ETHICAL DIM.: (OTHER) ACTIONS

PROPER ATTRIBUTION OF THE COSTS TO RESOURCESenvironmental resources’ costs “internalisation”
ORIENTING (MAIN) ONGOING TRANSITIONSinterconnection, glocalization, services, information, etc.
ENHANCING PROMISING (OF NICHE) ECONOMIC MODELSdistributed economies, i.e. local-based and network-structured enterprises/initiatives
ECONOMIC (LEGISLATIVE) SUSTAINABILITY
Carlo VezzoliPolitecnico di Milano / INDACO dept. / DIS / Faculty of Design / Italy
IN 50 YEARS A WORLD-WIDE EQUITABLE SYSTEMS OF PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION SHOULD USE ~90% LESS RESOURCES THAN THE INDUSTRIALISED CONTEXTS ARE DOING TODAY
SUSTAINABILITY: DIMENSION OF CHANGE
Carlo VezzoliPolitecnico di Milano / INDACO dept. / DIS / Faculty of Design / Italy
SUSTAINABILITY: QUALITY OF CHANGE
PROMOTE (EVEN) SYSTEM INNOVATIONS
RADICAL CHANGE (“DISCONTINUITY”)
DIFFUSED INNOVATION
PROMOTE PLAUSIBLE AND “ATTRACTIVE” (SYSTEM) INNOVATIONS
