Visual Report to Toyota Fund for Europe

What does “Sustainability” really mean?

Problem definition

• Since 1990’s the terms “sustainable development”and “sustainability” have become widely used, often abused and misused, and are rarely properly defined or understood.

• We have observed a growing demand for a clear and easily understood conceptual framework of “sustainability”: what it means, what are its basic principles and rules, how can we apply it to our daily lives and professional roles.

Project objectives

• to raise awareness about the urgent need for changing the course
