Thought of sites

Systems Systems are defined as a set of components comprising ideas, objects, and activities that are interconnected for a purpose.

Systems thinking is a learning process that also allows an individual to simplify a situation perceived as complex. Systems thinking has had a significant influence on the environmental movement through writers ranging from John Muir and Aldo Leopold to Donella Meadows and Bill McKibben.

The essence of systems thinking is to see a problem as a whole.

Hermann Daly consider sustainable development to be an oxymoron, since growth through development that consumes natural resources in a finite world cannot, by definition, be sustainable.

The term sustainable development came into use after the publication of the Brundtland Commission report “Our Common Future” in 1987. Officially called the World Commission on Environment and Development.

In 1983, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) had entrusted him with the task of defining a new type of global development that would reconcile the environment and development in both the North and the South.

It paved the way for the great United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992), also known as the Earth Summit.
