  2. Content: • Definition of sustainable development • Existing unsustainable trends • Redefenition • Sustainable and responsible development in practice(learning labs)

  3. Definition of sustainable development – what’s wrong • Existing unsustainable trends • Redefinition • Sustainable and responsible development in practice(learning labs)

  4. Sustainable development(political definitions) Meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Brundtland) Improving the quality of life within the limits of carrying capacities of ecosystems. (Claude Martin, WWF)

  5. Not very precise Antropo-centric Meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Brundtland) Improving the quality of life within the limits of carrying capacities of ecosystems. (Claude Martin, WWF) Wide variety of interpretation

  10. Direct pollution costsare multiplications of daily pollution quantities with number of cruise guests and days spent: a) Croatian Adriatic = 1.662.000 guest/days b) Dubrovnik port = 591.922 guest/days

  11. Direct pollution costs (DPC) for cruising tourism in 2009 based on EU prices of environmental management charges.All pollution loads are negative externalities, meaning that pollution is not properly treated and subsequently has an effect on the environment (Carić, 2010).

  12. Cost benefit analysis (financial)Direct pollution costs (DPC) Total calculated income for Croatian economy from cruising tourism in 2009 was 53 mil. €max.
