New Zealand has become the worldwide leader in sustainability. This has happened because of the national focus on values and principles and the leadership of civil society. Economic growth based on increasing wealth is no longer a benchmark for measuring development and state institutions are not expected to take long-term responsibility over environmental issues.
The six measures that New Zealanders have enforced are:
i) limit emissions into the atmosphere, discharges into waterways and the ocean, and chemicals in the soils;
ii) grow natural and social capital to sustain health and resilience of its people, institutions, and the nature;
iii) substitute renewable for nonrenewable resources wherever feasible, and luse these as efficiently as possible;
iv) instill a broad and deep eco-literate & strong human-Earth relationship;
v) embed sustainability in governance, economic, legal, and educational systems, and
vi) import only from countries and regions that follow sustainable practices.
