1 AGENDA 21 was the primary product of the United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro during 1992.
This conference was more popularly known as the "Earth Summit". Attendees
to this conference represented nations comprising over 98 percent of the
earth's population.
2 The most interesting summary of definitions of sustainability
located in preparing this document is the paper "Defining Sustainability"
by Yasmina Zaidman of The Global Futures Foundation. While that paper focuses
upon the concept of sustainable as applied to forestry, its inclusion of
perspectives of environmentalists, economists, indigenous people, and industry
with interests ranging from genetic diversity to employment stability make
it a valuable contribution to the literature of sustainability.
3 Based upon the author's work experience and observations
in both chemical and petroleum industry in the 1970's.
4 More properly the first United Nations Conference on the
Environment.
5 Conservation as used here includes energy efficiency, raw
materials and resource utilization, waste reduction, and environmental
protection.
6 Hybrid automobiles are typically gasoline/electric powered
vehicles with mileage estimates ranging from 150 to 300 miles per gallon.
The term hypercar was coined by the Rocky Mountain Institute to replace the
term supercar which led to confusion with high powered dragsters.
7 The business environment is already described as demanding
flexibility and the ability to communicate and to be suffering from information
overload. The move to sustainable development will exacerbate the situation
as society moves toward a new paradigm. The resulting confusion will create
substantial challenges and opportunities. Many will undoubtedly fail to be
prepared.
8 The Future 500 began as a joint venture of The Global Futures
Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Institute. The members have defined a mission
of achieving a fourfold improvement in resource productivity. Original members
include executives from Mitsubishi, Coors, and Patagonia.
9 The Global Business Network was initiated by Peter Schwartz
to facilitate information sharing within the business community.
