Management rules of sustainability

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basic management rule of sustainability is Herman Daly set up. They basically say:

  • The use of renewable natural resources , for example forests or fish stocks, must not be greater than their regeneration rate in the long term. Otherwise the resource would be lost to future generations.
  • The use of non-renewable natural resources, for example fossil fuels, must, if possible and in the long run, not be greater than the substitution of their functions (example: conceivable substitution of fossil fuels by hydrogen from solar electrolysis).
  • In the long term, the release of substances and energy must not be greater than the adaptability of the natural environment (example: accumulation of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere or acidifying substances in forest soils).
  • Dangers and unacceptable risks to human health and the environment from anthropogenic (anthropogenic = man-made) effects must be avoided.

The German federal government has also defined management rules for sustainability:

“The principles of sustainable development must be gradually concretized so that they become relevant for action in business and society. In the federal government's national strategy, the principle of sustainable development is summed up in ten sustainability management rules. "

Basic rule

“Each generation has to solve its own tasks and not burden the generations to come. At the same time, it must take precautions for foreseeable future burdens. This applies to the preservation of the natural foundations of life, to economic development as well as social cohesion and demographic change. "
