Helping Communities Move Towards Sustainable Development
The Natural Step — a Primer for Atlantic Canada
Authors: Janet Eaton, PhD and Peter Eaton, PhD.
with assistance from Clare Levin
The four Atlantic Provinces, while distinct from each other, together have many unique features which make the Atlantic Canadian region particularly suitable for piloting a proven method of advancing sustainable development. The Natural Step framework offers a unique and practical approach to sustainability, helping communities and businesses become more environmentally and socially responsible one step at a time. The primer examines the particular challenges and strengths of Atlantic Canada, and proposes that the region pilot the adoption of The Natural Step (TNS) framework as a systemic and overarching model to guide communities, governments, businesses, educational institutions, and other organizations in becoming more sustainable.
Released in conjunction with the launch of the Atlantic Canada Sustainability Initiative
