Sustainability (16) Flashcards
Signposts? (3)
• Limits to growth.
• Neo-Malthusian approaches.
• Blue print for survival.
Limits to Growth?
= focuses on resource greed & population.
Neo-Malthusian approach?
= focuses on the notion of “too many people, limited resources”.
Blue Print for Survival?
= focuses on smaller communities to reduce environmental limits (environmentally sound).
7 Principles to applying resilience?
• Maintain diversity & redundancy.
• Manage connectivity.
• Manage slow variables & feedbacks.
• Foster complex adaptive systems thinking.
• Encourage learning.
• Broaden participation.
• Promote polycentric governance systems.
Types of approaches to disturbances? (4)
• Vulnerability assessment.
• Resilience.
• Adaptation (radical transformation).
• Coping (incrementally/slowly).
Vulnerability equation?
Vulnerability = Exposure(Risk) + Internal component(Resilience)
Internal components/dimensions include? (2)
• Structure.
• Planning.
External dimensions include? (4)
• Heavy rainfall.
• Cut-off low.
• Landslides.
• Temperature.
Main term that Prof. Vogel emphasized to promote resilience?
Transdisciplinary.
Eg of transdisciplinary?
Trade unions.
Transdisciplinary?
= when efforts to promote resilience of systems are conducted by different shareholders/parties across several domains.
Things to note when trying to provide remediation for a disturbance? (3)
• Aims.
• Approach (es).
• Reason for approach (es).
NOTE: BE ABLE TO UNPACK THE PARADIGMS IN AN ESSAY WELL.
