  1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT • Sustainable Development refers to people taking resources from nature with minimal disturbance to the environment. • Sustainable development provides people with resources needed today without threatening resources need for the future.

  2. Clear Cut the forest Gone within 2 years An Alternative?

  3. Cut trees down over 25 year

  4. Cut trees down over 25 year Result People employed for 25 years vs only 2 years

  5. Cut trees down over 25 year Result People employed for 25 years vs only 2 years

  6. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section

  7. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section Start Replanting trees in section already cut down Result – Jobs last longer

  8. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section

  9. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section Start Replanting trees in section already cut down and take care of trees already replanted

  10. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section Start Replanting trees in section already cut down and take care of trees already replanted Result – Jobs last longer

  11. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section

  12. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section Start Replanting trees in section already cut down and take care of trees already replanted

  13. After 25 years move to this section of the forest Take 25 years to cut down this section Start Replanting trees in section already cut down and take care of trees already replanted At the end of 25 years start all over

  14. Sustainable development thus means • Resources can be used over and over • Not just resources are preserved but so are peoples jobs. Thus employment also has to do with sustainability.

  15. Hydrosphere Atmosphere Crust • Geosphere • Lithosphere The Earth is made up of three major spheres

  16. Hydrosphere Atmosphere Crust • Geosphere • Lithosphere The Earth is made up of three major spheres Biosphere = Where these three spheres interact (Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere) life is created.

  17. Hydrosphere Atmosphere Crust • Geosphere • Lithosphere Biosphere = Where these three spheres interact (Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere) life is created. The Earth is made up of three major spheres

  18. Hydrosphere Atmosphere • Lithosphere Biosphere = Where these three spheres interact (Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere) life is created. Non Living Non Living Non Living

  19. Hydrosphere Atmosphere • Lithosphere Biosphere = Where these three spheres interact (Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere) life is created. Non Living Non Living Non Living • The biosphere starts at the bottom of the ocean floor and reaches to the upper limits of the lower atmosphere where there is life. • Sustainable development is very important when it comes to these 4 spheres.

  20. Hydrosphere Atmosphere Non Living Non Living Biosphere • Lithosphere Non Living SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT • It does not endanger the biosphere or ecosystems (the system formed by the interaction of all living things in an environment with one another as well as with the non-living elements climate, water, and soil) that support life.

  21. Other things about Sustainable Development • In the past several decades, sustainable development has become a worldwide challenge. • The report mentions that all humans are stewards and responsible for the well being of the Earth. • Stewardship refers to humans’ responsible attitude toward caring for the Earth.

  22. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - Review • Sustainable Development refers to people taking resources from nature with minimal disturbance to the environment. • Sustainable development does not endanger the atmosphere, hydrosphere, or lithosphere. • It does not endanger the biosphere or ecosystems (the system formed by the interaction of all living things in an environment with one another as well as with the non-living elements climate, water, and soil) that support life. • Sustainable development provides people with resources needed today without threatening resources need for the future. In the past several decades, sustainable development has become a worldwide challenge. • The United Nations report Our Common Future (1987) developed a vision of an Earth that meets the needs of present and future generations. • The report mentions that all humans are stewards and responsible for the well being of the Earth. • Stewardship refers to humans’ responsible attitude toward caring for the Earth.

  23. “This we know. The Earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to the Earth…Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” - Chief Seattle, Squamish, 1854 • From your understanding of sustainable development, share with a partner your understanding and meaning of the above quotation. • Be prepared to discuss your ideas with the class.

  24. What is an Issue?

  25. This course is called “Resource management” • Learn about Canada and the world • But to understand Canada you need to learn about Canadian Issues • What is an issue? • More specifically, • What are Canadian Issues? • By completing the following activity, you should gain a better understanding about the concept of an issue, which issues are primarily Canadian in nature, which are primarily global, and which ones span both geographical perspectives.

  26. Defining an Issue. • In a group, discuss the question “What is an issue?” Write out your group's definition. • Choose a representative from each group to write their definition on a piece of paper • As a class, examine each group's definition, and then try to arrive at a consensus in answering the question 'What is an issue?"

  27. Answer to what is an issue: • The answer we came up in class should have the following elements: • The term issue refers to a question, concern or problem that has reached a stage of dialogue • There are at least two and, most often, many points of view on a situation • Issues are complex in nature.

  28. For example, my car running out of gas is a problem but not an issue. • Just go to gas station and fill up. However; • My car running out of gas because there is no more gas left in the world is an issue. • Involves more than a simple solution. • Involves more than 1 person

  29. The headings that we came up with should be as follows: • Political • Environmental • Social • Economic

  30. Answers to how an issue may be interrelated. • All Issues can be interrelated the following ways • Political • Environmental • Social • Economic • The next four slides will define each of the above and how they affect an issue. • To better understand the complex implications of global warming, let's use a "framework" and group these implications into the four areas described.

  31. Political: • Any organization (for example, a government or a multinational corporation) that designs, administers, and makes judgments about rules or control, has power. • When there are global problems, it is necessary to identify who controls the situation. • However, when there is no clear controlling power, solutions become more complex.

  32. Environmental: • Environmental features are those that impact both the natural environment (for example, a rain forest) and the environment within which people interact with nature (for example, a village or city).

  33. Social: • "Culture" describes the customs, values, and other forms of human endeavor characteristic of a particular community. • Our lifestyles - the way we work, the way we learn, what we eat, where we live, what we do in our free time, the way we dress, the music we listen to, and even the way we relate to our friends and families - are part of our culture and our social systems.

  34. Economic: • the cost of having a problem in the first place and the cost of its remedy • and the financial benefits resulting from proposed solutions.

  35. Resource Management • Resource management is often referred to as stewardship

  36. Natural Resources • Renewable resources • Non-renewable resources • Flow resources

  37. Renewable resources

  38. Non-renewable resources Metallic Non-Metallic Fuels

  39. Flow Resources Neither renewable or non renewable They are used where they occur

  40. Issues & resource management • Now that we know what issues and resources are • Lets discuss as a class what type of issues there are regarding resources • Consider social, political, environmental and economic issues regarding resource management
