Sustainable Development

A Sense of Urgency

We are the first generation to end poverty and may be the last generation to solve the climate challenge. While poverty is man-made, as most people started to realize by now, success is the only option for handling climate issues. The good news is, with more awareness and capability in handling environmental and social challenges, we can now do far more better with advancement and assistance of emerging technologies. Yet the question remains, are we willing to do that, without further ado, wholeheartedly? In what condition of our one and only planet Earth that we want our future generations to inherit?

How Do You Define Sustainability?

People may have their own definition when it comes to different things, mainly due to personal belief or experience, i.e. where they come from. It’s a matter of perspective. If we were to look from the business point of view, sustainability is none other than how long a business can survive without any revenue stream. From the environment perspective, it would be the avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance. How would the 3 dimensions of sustainable development bring good to personal, community, and the world as a whole? How can the triple bottom line be fine tuned to ensure sustainability?

Circular Economy and Resilient Cities

Have you ever wondered that instead of the take, make, consume and waste model, we can actually do better with the circular model when it comes to production, especially those that consume our natural resources? How would a twist in the mindset and way of doing things make a huge difference in contributing to the impactful development of our society, economy and environment? What are the cutting-edge best practices that we could learn from success cases that ensure the livelihood of a city? What are the options for innovative green infrastructure?
