1 Measuring Sustainable Communities Presentation to the Sustainable Communities TAE January 31, 2019
2 Overview Why sustainable communities? Existing sustainability assessment systems Problems for use as a community sustainability assessment system Suggestions for a CSAS Definition of sustainable community Principles Examples
3 Why Sustainable Communities? It s where we live, work, socialize... consume (energy, water, goods), dispose of wastes (air, land, water) Community rather than urban or municipality Emphasizes place But not strict boundaries And applies to rural/suburban/urban/region
4 Sustainability Assessment Developed By Project Scale System Agenda 21 United Nations X Global Millennium Development United Nations X Global Goals (MDG) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) United Nations X Global
5 Sustainability Developed By Index Scale Assessment System Ecological Footprint (EF) Wackernagel and Rees (1990) X Unclear Consortium including the Yale Center X National for Law and Environmental Policy and Environmental the Center for International Earth Sustainability Indicator Science Information Network at (ESI) Columbia University Genuine Progress Redefining Progress, a nonpartisan, X National/State Indicator (GPI) nonprofit organization Index of Sustainable Daly and Cobb (1989) X National Economic Welfare (ISEW) Human Development Index (HDI) United Nations Development Program X National Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) Living Planet Index (LPI) South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission, the United Nations Environment Programme, and their partners Zoological Society of London and World Wildlife Fund X X National Global Genuine Savings (GS) World Bank Environment Department X National City Development Index Second United Nations Conference X City (CDI) on Human Settlements
6 Sustainability Assessment System Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) BREEAM Communities (BREEAM-C) CASBEE for Urban Development (CASBEE-UD) STAR Communities Developed By Tool Scale US Green Building Council X Neighborhood United Kingdom X Neighborhood Japan Green Building Council/Japan Sustainable Building Consortium ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Center for American Progress X X Neighborhood Municipality
7 Problems with Existing SAS Scale and generalizability Definition of sustainability Implementation issues
8 Scale and Generalizability Many designed for global or national scale Neighborhood too small Leakage Generalizability
9 Definition of Sustainability 3 Es perspective Interconnected nature Weak vs. strong sustainability Relationship of indicator to definition
10 Implementation Issues Static versus dynamic Ability to communicate with a larger audience Number of indicators Weighting Presentation/transparency
11 Moving forward... A sustainable community is the aggregate of functionally and socially connected individuals and organizations that share collective resources in such a way that engages members in selfdetermination governance processes resulting in equitable provisioning of the health, educational, and material well-being among its residents while not negatively affecting future generations or other communities use of these resources.
12 Systems Approach Define community based on system to capture leakage Not driven by policy or data
13 Logic Model Approach Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes Impacts $ public funding Conservation zoning Construction of water treatment plans Protection of watershed Gallons of water treated Acres protected Drinking water standards met Water supply replenished Clean, renewable, and accessible drinking water
14 Relevant Systems System Indicator Scale Energy Green energy consumption State? Water Recharge rate Watershed Land Soil contamination Any Air Air pollution Point measurements Climate CO 2 emissions (equivalents)/person Any Ecosystem Habitat loss Habitat type Waste Landfilled trash/person Landfill service area Economics Poverty Housing Adequate housing Education Secondary education completion Commuting area Food Food security Health Access to health care
