520 "Sustainability is based on a simple and long-recognized
factual premise: Everything that humans require for their
survival and well-being depends, directly or indirectly,
on the natural environment. The environment provides the
air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.
Recognizing the importance of sustainability to its work,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been
working to create programs and applications in a variety
of areas to better incorporate sustainability into
decision making at the agency. To further strengthen the
scientific basis for sustainability as it applies to human
health and environmental protection, the EPA asked the
National Research Council (NRC) to provide a framework for
incorporating sustainability into the EPA's principles and
decision-making. This framework, Sustainability and the
U.S. EPA, provides recommendations for a sustainability
approach that both incorporates and goes beyond an
approach based on assessing and managing the risks posed
by pollutants that has largely shaped environmental policy
since the 1980s. Although risk-based methods have led to
many successes and remain important tools, the report
concludes that they are not adequate to address many of
the complex problems that put current and future
generations at risk, such as depletion of natural
resources, climate change, and loss of biodiversity.
Moreover, sophisticated tools are increasingly available
to address cross-cutting, complex, and challenging issues
that go beyond risk management. The report recommends that
EPA formally adopt as its sustainability paradigm the
widely used "three pillars" approach, which means
considering the environmental, social, and economic
impacts of an action or decision. Health should be
expressly included in the "social" pillar. EPA should also
articulate its vision for sustainability and develop a set
of sustainability principles that would underlie all
agency policies and programs."--Publisher's description.
