Clear goals and consensus on paper but do you find it to not be enough? Is the implementation reality too overwhelming? Think differently! Consider the systems that you operate in. #systemsthinking #collaboration #internationaldevelopment #complexity #wickedproblems #sustainability

This issue focuses on sustainability, using the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Global Compact as its foundation. It argues that services research should be the center of sustainability research and introduces a new definition of "service sustainability". Organizations are urged to adapt services that cater to present-day demands while ensuring the flourishing of future generations. This approach emphasizes improving services while being aware of the social, environmental, and economic aspects of our connected world. More here.

Sustainability is all about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It encompasses environmental, social, and economic dimensions, aiming to create a balance between them for the long-term health and well-being of both people and the planet. In environmental terms, sustainability involves practices that minimize harm to the environment, conserve natural resources, and reduce pollution and waste. This includes things like renewable energy sources, efficient use of resources, and protecting biodiversity. On the social side, sustainability means ensuring that everyone has access to basic needs such as clean water, food, shelter, education, and healthcare, while also promoting social equity and justice. It involves fostering inclusive communities, respecting human rights, and supporting fair labor practices.

Sustainability: A Comprehensive Foundation "Sustainability, derived from Latin roots meaning 'holding up,' reflects humanity's aspiration for long-term existence on Earth. The Brundtland Report defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations'. It emphasizes the dynamic nature of sustainability, requiring alignment of resource use, technology, and institutions. Achieving sustainability demands difficult choices and political will, aiming ultimately to ensure humanity's survival in a civilized manner."

Sustainability initiative for March 2024 "The principle of I Take No Take" The initiative states “If a person takes responsibility for a POSITION or in-charge of a MISSION without taking “OWNERSHIP” is heading towards FAILURE and not SUCCESS. We create conscious awareness among the staff to actively INDULDGE and PARTICIPATE. The output is freedom of success and Growth is ACHIEVED.  #Sustainability #MarchInitiative

I have obtained a certificate in "The Story of Sustainability," which is highly relevant and addresses current issues. #sustainabledevelopment #sdg2030 #sustainableconstruction #sustainbleenergyfundforafrica

  Taking OWNERSHIP means enduring discomfort and overcoming challenges. Through this Journey, we experience failure, Challenges, Pain Elements, learnings, and finally EARNINGs. The BY-Product of the OWNERSHIP is success.

Thanks Jacqui. The more I learn about Green Infrastructure, the more I understand it's importance in future infrastructure projects and thinking.
