环境问题的复杂性和影响的扩大增加了对“指南针”的需求,为我们指明了可持续发展的方向。我们前面描述的四项原则——系统条件,以及逐步满足它们的方法,就是这样一个指南针。系统条件是可持续性的一级原则:•它们不涵盖可持续性的整个领域;•它们是互补的,即它们不重叠;•它们都是必要的;•适用于不同的规模和活动。指南针提供了一个模型,它不仅意味着对业务和政策制定的限制,而且从自身利益的角度来看也意味着机会。该模型使预测未来市场需求和成本的变化成为可能。许多商业公司和市政当局将指南针作为未来市场的指导工具,针对每个系统条件提出以下战略问题:
SUMMARY The enlargement of complexity and effects of environmental problems has increased the need for a ‘compass’ to point us in the direction of sustainability. The four principles—System Conditions—which we have earlier described, along with a step-by-step approach to meet them, is such a compass. The System Conditions are first order principles for Sustainability: • they do not cover the whole area of Sustainability; • they are complementary, i.e. they do not overlap; • they are all necessary; • they are applicable at different scales and activities. The compass provides a model that does not only imply restrictions to business and policy-making, but also opportunities from a self-interest point of view. The model makes it possible to foresee changes regarding demands and costs on the future market. A number of business corporations and municipalities apply the compass as a guiding tool to the future market, asking the following strategic questions for each of the System Conditions: Does this measure ...
