Description
Tried-and-tested approach for transforming economies that are based on natural resource extraction to create long-term prosperity.
Designing Sustainable Prosperity (DSP) is a step-by-step blueprint for transforming economies from being dependent on short-term natural resource extraction into long-term sustainable prosperity. The outcome is the creation of sustainable, circular economies that prioritise waste reduction and use recycling and renewable resources to actively implement climate change solutions. A key feature of the process is collaboration between local people, investors, appropriate experts, government, and academics.
The DSP method outlines seven steps in creating a plan for long-term sustainable regional development, illustrated by several case studies from North and South America which identified potential economic transformations.
Designing Sustainable Prosperity explores topics such as:
- How to determine if and when a region is ready for DSP by analysing factors such as climate, geology, natural resources, and human potential.
- Case studies highlighting different aspects of the DSP approach, and how to achieve true prosperity which is beyond short-term financial performance.
- “Hard” resources and industries that can fuel a circular economy, such as metals/mining, water/energy, value-added food products, and other innovative enterprises.
- “Soft” enabling factors such as workforce availability, educational systems, and socio-economic conditions, and how to develop these factors in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
DSP shows how to align economic goals with all the UNSDGs. Designing Sustainable Prosperity is an essential and timely resource for professionals and organizations aiming to develop regions sustainably.
“Not only a great collection of ideas and references but also a great story in terms of how it brings the pieces together and guides how we can each make a difference.”
—Mark Cutifani, Chairman Vale Base Metals, Former CEO at Anglo American plc
“Recommended for corporations, politicians and regulators to understand the sequencing necessary to access the energy transition metals and realise 2050 aspirations in a sustainable manner.”
—Robert Quartermain, DSc, Canadian Mining Hall of Fame Inductee, Co-Chair Dakota Gold Corp, Former Executive Chairman Pretium Resources Inc
“Presents an optimistic, “bottom-up” collaboration recipe that leavens outside expertise with community-based history, capabilities, and ambition to move in new directions.”
—David J. Hayes, Professor at Stanford University, former senior White House climate advisor for President Biden and the Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the U.S. Department of the Interior for Presidents Obama and Clinton
