The three pillars of sustainability and sustainable development, and their interactions

The below Sustainability Issues come from the United Nation's[1] Agenda 21, plus some additional topics. Please refer to the scope of Sustainable Development as defined by the UN.

The second listing is a breakdown of issues within industry grouping. The industries are broken down into three categories according to the amount of carbon emissions against production. The high intensity group also includes low carbon energy such as nuclear which still has a environmental impact. The issues listed are being devised from a core group of specialist users. This is then open for suggestion from all users.
