Examples of Sustainable Development
Sustainable development was coined in 1987 by the Bruntland Commission where they defined it as, 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. Since then, sustainable development theory has been greatly expanded and these ideas have been utilised around the world. The need for development to become more sustainable is important, as many of the planet's ecosystems are degraded.
Sustainability Driven Innovation
Sustainable innovations are creating new business models, opening up new markets and providing competitive advantages. Sustainable innovation is also improving profitability. Companies around the world are demonstrating how innovative sustainable practices are bettering their bottom line. A focus on sustainability is enabling organisations to innovate, differentiate themselves and succeed. Although sustainable practices were once dismissed for being too costly, increasing numbers of companies are coming to the realization that sustainable innovations are a gateway to growth. Visionary business leaders who anticipate the winds of change and creatively develop sustainable products and processes will thrive in the rapidly changing economic landscape.
To Real Leadership, Alignment is Everything
It's easy to talk about change, because this makes us feel good. But it's hard to actually change, because changing is difficult and can make us feel bad. Great leadership finds a way to pull people together around a few great, unifying ideas that will allow them to go beyond surviving change, and creates an environment where change can be welcomed and exploited for the common good.

Making business work for development: Rethinking corporate social responsibility
Business is everywhere. Some is crucial to development, while some is implicated in poverty, human rights abuses and environmental destruction. In recent years there has been an upturn in corporations taking responsibility for development challenges. Research shows this is a mixed blessing whilst development practitioners and policy makers could engage more critically to ensure real benefits for development.

Corporate leadership in global development
Poverty continues to be one of the main challenges facing the countries that will be home to 85% of the world's population in the decades to come. Today some 2.7 billion people worldwide continue to subsist on less than US$2 per day. The challenge facing the global community is to eradicate extreme poverty and to foster broad based economic development that benefits all while preserving the world’s ecosystems. Business is a core human activity, and it has a key role to play in bringing about sustainable development.
Fiscal Dimensions of Sustainable Development
The achievement of sustainable development—combining economic development, social development, and environmental protection—is a key challenge facing the international community. To this end, progress will be needed in a number of different policy areas, with the right mix of policies varying from country to country.

Moving Forward: Developing Countries
There are many economic, social, and environmental challenges along the path to sustainable development, and there is no panacea to address them all. Rather, accelerated development will require progress in multiple policy areas, with the right policy mix and focus varying from country to country. Countries may also need to make difficult choices regarding trade-offs between competing policy objectives. Achieving more sustainable development will thus require a concerted effort from developing countries, the international community, and the international financial institutions.
Moving Forward: International Community
Freer access to industrial country markets and greater and more predictable aid are needed to support sustainable development (included under Goal 8 of the MDGs).
Sustainable Business Development - Benefiting your Community
Sustainable Business Development was popularized just over 22 years ago by a report put out by the Brundtland Commission. The world economy was growing and throughout the late 60’s and into the 80’s world development advanced rapidly with little regard to the environment and the Brundtland Commission, which came out of the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, characterized ‘sustainable development’ as: “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” As a business leader and entrepreneur, we can benefit from the agenda established as a result of these United Nation Conferences in order to combat Poverty, Change Unsustainable Patterns of Consumption and Protect Bio-Diversity and Natural Resources.

African Technology Development
Economic Development of Africa is an international concept, based on large amounts of donor and aid capital being used to fund development projects. The goal of this is eventually to improve the living conditions of the poor as much as possible, and to ensure that this improvement is sustainable. The correct application of this concept causes great debate, and it is continuously refined and revised both physically and academically. In light of the above, I want to give some insight from within Africa.
