Three pillar approach to sustainable development Economic, Social, and Environmental needs ? Natural capital and sustainable development Three kind of functions that Natural capital (natural resource stocks, land and ecosystems) provides are: ? Resource functions: mineral deposits, deep forest timber, deep sea fish ? Sink functions: absorb waste products in air,water, sea, landfill sites ? Service functions: habitat for living beings..air, water, survival and amenity functions 3 Premises for development of SEEA 建立 SEEA的前提條件 ? Weak sustainability: seeks to maintain from year to year the per capita ine generated from total capital stock ? Strong sustainability: requires that all forms of capital be maintained intact independent of one another ? Caution for Strong sustainability: ? Renewable resources should not be used in excess of their natural regeneration ? Non renewable resources should be used prudently, with care for its availability to future generations ? Sink functions should not be used beyond their assimilative capacities, ? Activities which cause deterioration in service functions should be avoided or at least minimised 4 Objectives and structure of the SEEA SEEA的目標和結構 ?
