Glossary of Sustainability
The word sustainable has become shorthand for something like: all things good for the survival of people and planet.
It seems to be an umbrella term providing room for a range of social,
environmental and economic knowledge and expertise. It has developed a
whole vocabulary, sometimes investing old terms with new connotations
and sometimes developing new terms for new phenomena. One constant
theme is that sustainability in any one area of endeavor
cannot be viewed in isolation from the rest of human endeavor. This
means that the understanding of systems is crucial to understanding sustainability;
hence you will find in the glossary terms from systems and
cybernetics that we’ve found useful. There are also some common terms
from financial accounting that we have needed in order to build our
triple bottom line accounting framework.
