Sustainability considerations: Industry and developing countries Dr Rocio A Diaz Chavez Centre for Environmental Policy Imperial College London (r.diaz-chavez@imperial.ac.uk)r.diaz-chavez@imperial.ac.uk SCOPE 2010 Award Young Scientist Low Carbon Energy for Development LCEDN Workshop World Café 1

2. Sustainable development Sustainable development- effective implementation needs participation Environmental management tools such as ESIA and SEA include public participation (stakeholders) “Social sustainable development” has social elements considered. Also included in some international conventions e.g. ILO Included in some voluntary standards

3. Methodologies for sustainability assessment Indicators (criteria, principles) LCA SEA ESIA Mapping stakeholders Corporate Social Responsibility Sustainability Reporting

4. Regional and local levels Objectives Demonstration Data & indicators Environmental Policy & Institutions Land use change Environmental impacts LCA and supply chain GHG and other emissions (e.g. NOx, particulates) Waste policies plans & projects Directives Incentives Barriers Institutional capacity Economic national, regional and local economy livelihoods Incentives Barriers Social LCA Social impacts GHG and other emissions (health) social organisation Land property Gender Research FRAMEWORK (Diaz-Chavez, 2003, 2006) Cumulative and indirect impacts Enforcement Traditional focus

5. Whose sustainability? (Dalal-Clayton, & Daler, 2005)

12. Other considerations Other Low carbon technologies Difference of scale (industrial?) Solar and wind other sustainability issues Additional resources such as Equator Principles (IFC) for larger projects SME should also be supporting sustainability issues (?)

14. World Café information Tables 8-10 participants 1 Secretary per table 4 questions, 10 minutes each First, quick poll Second, discussion Secretaries quick feedback end of session

15. Questions 1.Does low-carbon energy mean “sustainable”? 2.Should sustainability criteria be applied to all low carbon technologies / products and across all scales? 3.Should sustainability criteria influence global markets to promote low carbon technologies and products? 4.Should the private sector support sustainability criteria and standards or should it be public policy driven?
