The Green Building Program, stemming from the movement, has had unprecedented success as it provides a quantifi able metric to people’s efforts towards sustainable development.

Sustainable Development, Renewable Resources and Technological Progress

Conflicts between optimality and sustainability are typical in the literature on sustainable development. Using the ‘‘capital-resource’’ growth model, Pezzey and Withagen (1998, Scandinavian Journal of Economics 100 (2), 513–527) have proved that if natural resources are exhaustible, the time-path of consumption is single-peaked, declining from some point in time onwards. This paper extends the...

Sustainable Development: Growing Green Communities

Background: The purpose of this study was investigate the dose proportionality of a novel, oncedaily, controlled-release formulation of hydromorphone that utilizes the OROS® Push-PullTM osmotic pump technology. Methods: In an open-label, four-way, crossover study, 32 healthy volunteers were randomized to receive a single dose of OROS® hydromorphone 8, 16, 32, and 64 mg, with a 7-day washout per...

Green Growth Versus Sustainable Development

This aim of this paper is to help explain the differences between the terms “sustainable development” and “green growth”. The concept of “sustainable development” was developed during the 80s and was based on three pillars: economy, environment and society. The concept of “green growth” is a more recent one. The two concepts have several differences. The first difference is that, from sustainab...
