Sustainability:
“meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
-from the United Nations General Assembly (1987) Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future.

Why Sustainability is Global:The Environment is Global:
If a country tried to act sustainably… …would Global Warming cease for that country?
![Page 5: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why Sustainability is Global:The Environment is Global:
If only one country tried to act sustainably… …would ocean fish supplies replenish?

Why Sustainability is Global:
The Economy is Global:
If a country incorporates the cost to the environment into the price of their product (thus increasing it)………buyers will just buy from a country with the less expensive product (thus less environmentally friendly)
![Page 7: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sustainability:
In order to meet the needs of future generations, we need to understand how many people will be on Earth.

SustainabilityandGlobalization:
Population as an environmental issue
![Page 9: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reasons population is a sustainability issue:
Ecological Footprint:
Use of resources
Use of landGeneration of waste
![Page 10: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ecological Footprint:“The Ecological footprint measures the
amount of biologically productive land and water that are required to produce the resources an individual, population, or activity consumes and to absorb the waste they generate…”
-from The Ecological Footprint Atlas 2009
![Page 11: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ecological Footprint:Currently, for the Earth to support the
population of 6.79 billion people, 1.8 global hectares (gha) are available for each person.
![Page 12: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ecological Footprint:Currently, for the Earth to support the
population of 6.79 billion people, 1.8 global hectares (gha) are available for each person.
As population increases, less hectares are available for each person.
![Page 13: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ecological Footprint:Currently, for the Earth to support the
population of 6.79 billion people, 1.8 global hectares (gha) are available for each person.
As population increases, less hectares are available for each person.
Right now, each person requires an average global footprint of 2.6 global hectares (gha).

Population Dynamics
Exponential vs. Linear Growth
![Page 15: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Exponential GrowthAny quantity that grows or decays by a fixed percent at regular intervals
Usually by a percentage of the base population rather than by a fixed amount.
Ex: Annual growth of 1% vs. X number of people
![Page 16: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Linear GrowthWhen growth is by a fixed amount regardless of base population.
![Page 18: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Population growth ratePercent by which the population will change each year
![Page 20: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Population growth rateThe percent that the population will change by each year.
Calculated by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate.
![Page 21: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Population growth rateThe percent that the population will change by each year.
Calculated by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate.
For U. S. the growth rate of 0.69% doesn’t include population increases due to immigration.
![Page 22: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Doubling timeTime period over which a population doublesExample: Growth rate of 1% will result in doubling time of 70 years.
![Page 23: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Doubling timeFor U. S., the growth rate of 0.69%results in doubling time of ~101 years. (doesn’t include immigration)
For world, the growth rate of 1.18% results in doubling time of 59 years.(don’t need to consider immigration)
![Page 24: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Doubling timeFor world, the growth rate of 1.18%
results in doubling time of 59 years.
In Pakistan, population growth rate is higher than average: 1.551%, while in Japan it is much lower: -0.077%.
Following a 1.18% world growth rate, in 2069, world population could be: 2 x 6.79 billion or 13.58 billion.
But only if the population growth rate remains constant
![Page 25: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Growth rate is decreasing.
Medium UN projections suggest population will even out at about 9.6 billion ~2050.
![Page 27: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
World growth rate is expected to decline:

Why is the growth rate decreasing?
![Page 29: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Why is the growth rate decreasing?Need to look at Fertility rates.
![Page 30: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)Average number of children born to women during their reproductive years.
![Page 31: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)Average number of children born to women during their reproductive years.
In 2008: average global TFR was 2.6 births per woman.
![Page 32: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)Average number of children born to women during their reproductive years.
In 2008: average global TFR was 2.6 births per woman.
(1.6 in developed countries; 2.8 in developing countries)
![Page 33: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)In 2008: average global TFR was 2.6 births per woman.
![Page 34: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)In 2008: average global TFR was 2.6 births per woman.
In 1960: average global TFR was 4.8 births per woman.
![Page 35: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)In 2008: average global TFR was 2.6 births per woman.
In 1960: average global TFR was 4.8 births per woman.
This decrease contributes the decrease in the population growth rate.
![Page 36: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)Corresponds to level of education of women
![Page 37: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What is the ideal fertility rate?
Probably a Replacement Level fertility rate:
the number of children a couple must give birth to in order to replace themselves.
2.1 in developed countries2.5 in developing countries
![Page 38: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What is the ideal fertility rate?Probably the Replacement Fertility Rate
A Replacement Level fertility rate will NOT immediately stop population growth.
![Page 39: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What is the ideal fertility rate?A Replacement Level fertility rate will NOT
immediately stop population growth. The “population momentum” delays the
effect of the lower fertility rate.
![Page 40: Sustainability and Globalization](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815454550346895dc26e3a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Population MomentumPopulation momentum
can affect ideal population rate
“Population momentum” refers to the effect of a large percent of the population being of childbearing age (or moving toward it).
The “population momentum” delays the effect of a lower fertility rate as current children grow up and bear their own children.
For a few generations, the absolute number of births will exceed deaths, even if the childbearing population reproduces at replacement rate (2.1-2.5).
