As we learnt in Session 3 of Micro Course 1 the four system conditions, or sustainability principles, defined by the Natural Step in its Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development provide a robust definition of sustainability. These principles can be used as a tool to audit a business, community or even a project to identify all the ways in which it currently contributes aspects of unsustainable practices.

This learning challenge will lead you through a process to carry out a sustainability impacts assessment using the four sustainability principles. The results of the assessment can then be used to create strategic goals to drive future decision-making.
