How can we all live well and live within the means of one planet?
This is the research question of the 21st century.
If we do not design ways to live within the means of one planet, sustainability
will remain elusive.

Atoll K is small island nation. Its population total is 400, and it has 100 wage earners who earn an average of $50 per year. Each wage earner spends $40 per year buying local goods and services and $2.50 buying imports. The island exports a total of $800 worth of goods. The Government tax rate is 10% and all government money is spent on building infrastrcuture and supporting schools. There is only one industry (uranium mining) on the island and it employs every wage earner. The industry spends $600 each year on new mining equipment. What is the GDP?
GDP = Consumer spending + Government spending
+ Investment made by industry + Net exports
= $40*100 + 0.10*(100*$50)+ $600 + $800 - $2.50*100
= $5650

GDP per capita is an average measure.
It alone does not represent the economic status of an average citizen in a country.
Gini Index must be incorporated into GDP per capita
to get a good ideaof the economic status
of an average citizen in a country.
How to do that?

GDP growth (even with a very low Gini Index) measures only the economic growth of a nation.
GDP growth does not necessarily reflect the improvement in the well-being of the citizens of a nation.
- Simon Kuznets, the inventor of the concept of the GDP,
noted in his very first report to the US Congress in 1934.

• GDP takes no account of income distribution
• GDP treats crime, divorce and natural disasters as economic gain
• GDP ignores the non-market economy of household and community
• GDP treats the depletion of natural capital as income
• GDP increases with polluting activities and then again with clean-ups
• GDP ignores the drawbacks of living on foreign assets

Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI):
Green/welfare economists have suggested to replace GDP by GPI
as a measure of economic growth.
GPI is an attempt to measure whether a country's growth (increased production of goods and expanding services) have actually resulted in the improvement of the well-being of the people in the country.
Note that GPI = 0 if the financial costs of crime and pollution equal the financial gains in production of goods and services.

Is there a cost for keep on increasing GDP per capita which gives only a marginal increase in HDI?
HDI > 0.8 gives high HD

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production:
1. Virgin material supply limit: To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100, global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1015 g (= 7 to 8 giga metric tonnes) of C per year (IPCC, 1996).
2. Allocation of virgin material: Each of the average 7.5 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions. This translates to roughly 1 metric tonne of C equivalents per person per year.

UNDP defined HDI includes national averages of Life Expectancy, Adult Literacy, School Enrolment and the most criticized GDP per capita as components of human development. It does not include the environmental component
UNDP defined HDI is therefore not a socially or environmentally
responsible index to measure human development.
UNDP defined HDI is therefore not an index to measure sustainable development with.

A global hectare (gha) is a common unit that
encompasses the average productivity of all the

world in a given year.
Biologically productive areas include cropland,
forest and fishing grounds, and do not include
deserts, glaciers and the open ocean.

The day we have consumed resources equivalent to what the planet could produce in that year is known
as the Earth Overshoot Day of that year.
Source: http://www.footprintnetwork.org
In 2008, Earth Overshoot Day moved forward to 23rd of September because we are now demanding resources at a rate of 40 percent faster than the planet can produce them.
In 1996, Earth Overshoot Day was in November.
In 1986, Earth Overshoot Day was at the end of December.

EF is 1.3 times the biocapacity in 2005. That is to say we need 1.3 planets to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste. This means, in 2005, it took the Earth one year and four months to regenerate what we use in a year.

EF will be 2 times the biocapacity by the mid 2030 if current population and consumption trends continue according to moderate UN scenarios. It means by the mid 2030s we will need the equivalent of 2 Earths to support us.

How can we all live well and live within the means of one planet?
The challenge ahead of us (engineers) is to assist national and global development
to attain HDI > 0.8 while maintaining EF < 2 gha per capita.
HDI has flaws that must rectified. However, the above could be considered
as the first step towards SD
