CSD)-18 examined the progress that the minerals industry has made in implementing sustainable development principles, and will be making recommendations for further actions. 

Another favorable aspect of these polymers is their conformity with the principles of green chemistry. The latter sets guidehnes for the chemical industry in order to secure sustainable development, while increasing process economy [3,4]. Briefly, green chemistry, and the related green engineering [5] call for an increase in, and/or upgrading of ... 

Thermodynamic principles can be used to assess, design and improve energy and other systems, and to better understand environmental impact and sustainability issues. For the broadest understanding, all thermodynamic principles must be used, not just those pertaining to energy. Thus, many researchers feel that an understanding and appreciation of exergy is essential to discussions of sustainable development.

At long last, it was announced that, "based on the major ideas and principles declared at the Rio de Janeiro Conference of 1992, Ukraine deems desirable a shift to sustainable development that would ensure a balanced solution to social and economic tasks and to problems of leaving the environment and the potential of natural resources in good order for the current and future generations."... 

The relationship between environment and security is indirect and multicasual. Therefore it is difficult to assess the risk to security caused by environmental change. Taking into consideration the principle of sustainable development where the environmental, economic and social issues are interdependent and cannot be pursued separately, the integrated risk assessment is particularly useful. 

The relatively new field of industrial ecology provides a useful organizing framework for DEE (Lowe, 1993). Design for Environment (DEE) is the terminology for the third component of the LCA life-cycle improvement assessment. The principle of sustainable development suggests that companies or individuals should try both to minimize the consumption of virgin natural resources and to minimize the generation of waste material that has no productive use. 

Engineers shall strive to adhere to the principles of sustainable development in order to protect the environment for future generation. ... 

Ecological Part (Planet). The ecological part has to do with the impact of human action on nature. Mainly this means all the known environmental problems and processes that disrupt the ecosystems (ozone depletion, acidification, greenhouse effect, destruction of species, wastes, etc.). In a sustainable world all those known problems must be minimized or avoided. In addition, for as far as possible, sustainable development must have the power to avoid new problems. The precautionary principle is therefore adopted. 

The book further develops methods, algorithms, and principles that may help toward solving problems regarding globalization and sustainable development. To this end, simulation experiments have shown that... 

This chapter outlines the principles of green chemistry, and explains the connection between catalysis and sustainable development. It covers the concepts of environmental impact, atom economy, and life-cycle analysis, with hands-on examples. Then it introduces the reader to heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysis, explaining what catalysis is and why it is important. The last two sections give an overview of the tools used in catalysis research, and a list of recommended books on specialized subjects in catalysis. 

Between 2001 and 2005, BASF will have invested EUR two billion in China, but its spectrum of activities is far broader than might first be anticipated. Before retiring as chairman of BASF, Jurgen Strube visited Beijing in October 2002 and told the press there, We are investing in more than just steel and pipes in China. Here, as in other parts of the world, our operations are guided by the principles of sustainable development. ...

Governments can also bring about change by endorsing the principle of sustainable development. This principle was introduced at the 1992 Earth Summit Conference. Sustainable development takes into account the environment, the economy, and the health and needs of society.
