Développement durable, agenda 21 : définition et historique Développement durable, késako ? La notion de développement durable constitue une réponse aux préoccupations montantes relatives aux impacts de nos activités sur l'environnement et les Hommes. En effet, dès les années 1960-1970, marquées par les 1ers chocs pétroliers et plusieurs catastrophes technologiques au niveau mondial, des réflexions sont lancées sur les impacts négatifs du développement de nos sociétés sur la biodiversité, les milieux et les ressources naturelles, ou encore sur les populations les plus fragiles.

Ce rapport définit le développement durable comme un « développement qui répond aux besoins des générations du présent sans compromettre la capacité des générations futures à répondre aux leurs ».Depuis cette date, l'expression développement durable (« sustainable development » en anglais) s'est répandue dans le monde entier.
Sustainability Professional Development & Membership Are there really 21 million slaves worldwide? 10 March 2014Last updated at 17:53 ET By Ian Muir-Cochrane BBC News Some Caribbean nations are demanding reparations from Europe over the Atlantic slave trade. But slavery still happens today - film director Steve McQueen said at the Academy Awards there are 21 million slaves worldwide. Is that figure correct? The figure mentioned by McQueen in his Best Picture acceptance speech at the Academy Awards comes from the UN's International Labour Organisation (ILO), which has been producing a global figure for nearly 10 years.

Its definition of this is "work or service which is exacted from any person under the threat of a penalty and for which the person has not offered himself or herself voluntarily".

ESA21: Home A question of ethics What is ethics? Ethics is concerned with what society considers to be right or wrong. It therefore relates to standards of behaviour. At first this may appear to overlap with one purpose of law, in that law seeks to address behaviour of which society disapproves. However, ethical principles may be adopted that discourage behaviour that is undesirable but legal. Ethics lacks the certainty usually provided by the law, as individuals may consider some things that are legal to be unethical. All professions rely on their practitioners adopting not only legal but ethical standards. Approaches to ethics Ethical behaviour may be defined in terms of duties. Codes of conduct issued by professional bodies, and corporate codes issued by business organisations, define responsibilities in terms of duties, and may provide guidance on the more common exceptions that apply. Ethical behaviour may also be defined in terms of consequences. Ethical principles
