One Planet Living - 10 Guiding
Principles
Our climate is changing because of human-induced build up of CO2 in
the atmosphere
Waste from discarded products and packaging creates disposal
problems and squanders valuable resources
Travel by car and airplane is contributing to climate change, air and

noise pollution, and congestion
Destructive resources exploitation (e.g. in construction and
manufacturing) increases environmental damage and reduces benefits
to local community
Industrial agriculture produces food of uncertain quality, harms local
ecosystems, and may have high transport impacts
Local supplies of freshwater are often insufficient to meet human needs,
due to pollution, disruption of hydrological cycles, and depletion Loss of
biodiversity due to development in natural areas and over- exploitation
of natural resources
Local cultural heritage is being lost throughout the world due to
globalisation, resulting in loss of local identity and knowledge
Some in the industrialised world live in relative poverty, while many in
the developing world cannot meet their basic needs from what they
produce or sell
Rising wealth and greater health and happiness increasingly diverge,
raising questions about the true basis of well-being and contentment
Defining
sustainability
• Aspects of definitions
often include:
• Society enduring in
the long term
• Living within limits
• Understanding and
managing the
interconnections between
economy, society, and
environment
• The equitable distribution
of resources and
opportunities
Defining
sustainability
• Brundtland Commission: "Sustainable development is
development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.”
• Lowell Center for Sustainable Production: "Sustainable
Production is the creation of goods and services using
processes and systems that are: non-polluting; conserving of
energy and natural resources; economically efficient; safe
and healthful for workers, communities, and consumers; and,
socially and creatively rewarding for all working people."
What is
BREEAM?
Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method
• World’s leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings
• The BREEAM rating benchmark levels enable a client or other stakeholder to compare
an individual building’s performance with other BREEAM rated buildings and the typical
sustainability performance of new or major refurbished non-domestic buildings in the
UK
• 4 key aims:
1. To mitigate the life cycle impacts of buildings on the environment
2. To enable buildings to be recognised according to their environmental benefits
3. To provide a credible, environmental label for buildings
4. To stimulate demand for sustainable buildings
