[All] UN Sustainability report: EXCELLENT!!!

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks

UN just released their blueprint for sustainability report titled "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing", contains 56 recommendations to put sustainable development into practice and to mainstream it into economic policy as quickly as possible.

The full report is due in Feb. but the 23 page overview is online at this link.

The overview quickly summarizes the 56 recommendations made by the panel. It's applicable at so many levels from local planning to source water protection etc.  I kept thinking  "Amen!" as I went through the concepts.  It reflects points I've heard at the GRCA watershed forum, the Council of Canadian Academies, debates at Munk etc.  It's great to finally see these excellent concepts centralized with such clarity. This work is the great bump up for the protection of Natural Capital. Great read!
