What is this and why?

　　为鼓励和培养大学生原创和严谨的思维能力，引导大学生关注和发现全球可持续发展当前存在的问题，并形成的创新性建议和解决方案，东喜玛拉雅研究院和大学生实践创新部、大学生科技协会举办首届东喜玛拉雅创新思想坊。首届创新思想坊的主题为“洱海流域的可持续发展”，并以联合国全人类和全球的可持续发展目标框架为指导。

　　参与创新思想坊的成员首先独立提出个人想法，然后根据想法一致性划分为若干组，组内成员分享想法的基础上设计解决环境和社会经济存在严重影响的项目。每个组进行项目设计汇报，组织委员会老师和其他组成员参与讨论。创新思想坊持续时间有限，每位参与者需努力工作和团结协作，才能快速发现真实存在的环境或社会经济问题，并提出可行的解决方案。这种快速发现和提出解决方案的过程可称为“黑客马拉松”。

　　有改善全球可持续发展问题的想法，且乐于分享给同学和老师的同学，要想让你的Ideas变成可实施的项目方案，并改善现实社会的问题，那就请加入创新思想坊。

　　你可提前准备和完善你的想法，请继续阅读相关的通知和后面的文献，了解可持续发展的概念和框架。

What is sustainable development?

　　One of the most widely recognized definition of sustainable development comes from the 1987 report Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report:

　　“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts:

  • The concept of 'needs', in particular, the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given;

  • The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.”

　　— World Commission on Environment and Development, Our Common Future (1987)

　　The figure below shows the three main domains of sustainable development, namely the Social, the Economic, and the Environment domains. The figure clearly shows how these three domains are interlinked. For example, we cannot develop our economy by using natural resources in a way that put in danger their regeneration, and economic development should benefit all human beings without differences in ethnicity, gender and age, and not only a chose elite.

　　Please check the references listed at the end of this document to learn more on the concept.

　　In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly formally adopted the "universal, integrated and transformative" 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The goals are to be implemented and achieved in every country from the year 2016 to 2030. You will find references on SDGs and the implications for China in the references at the end of this document. Please get familiar with 17 goals, the objectives and the indicators because they can suggest ideas on problems to tackle and the way SDG progress is monitored and measured. The 17 SDGs are the following:

　　

　　Now, look at the situation of the place we live in, Dali, its beautiful landscape and rich cultural heritage. In recent year, this region has known an outstanding economic development, with new buildings and urban infrastructure being built, rapid growth of various businesses including the tourism sector, heavy population increase and the life of local people improving significantly. However, rapid economic growth doesn’t come without expenses, especially on the environmental domain. Demand of natural resources increases with population and lifestyle (it’s always the richer that consume the most) and not everybody benefits equally to this rapid development.

　　Sustainability science aims to assess and predict the impacts of a rapidly changing world and provide solutions to improve the quality of life of humanity, which can only be achieved by taking good care of their home. From the first images of the Earth we saw from space, we all know that our planet is limited and not infinite, and we only have one.


Some hints on problems of the Er’hai Catchment area and topic ideas

　　We provide here some examples of problems and questions arising in the Dali region, where innovative solutions are needed. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and students should try to identify other issues to address.

  • Protection of Er’hai Lake: intensive agriculture, population increase, and poor waste management pose a threat to the healthy ecosystem of the lake.

  • Tourism model: Dali is a popular destination for tourism which creates income for many people. How is this massive tourism flow managed in terms of consumption, transportation, environmental and cultural awareness, distribution of income, waste management, etc.?

  • Regional development: population is increasing, buildings and roads are expanding… Can water and land resources be used in a sustainable way in order to provide ecosystem services for the future generations?

  • The quality of education, inequalities between city and countryside, between rich and poor

  • Economic and social inequalities between remote villages and main tourism destinations

  • Are men and women treated equally in society, on workplaces, in the family structure?

  • Are ethnic minorities considered in the regional development?

  • Farming system: excessive employment of land resources and the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers

  • Are protected area well managed?

  • Cultural heritage conservation: Dali oldtown fast changing face

  • Energy production: renewable vs non-renewable sources, impact of hydropower

  • Waste management and recycling: systems, education, etc…
