30. SUSTAINABILITY - RESILIENCE
• The term resilience was first used in the
physical sciences to denote the behavior of a
spring.
• In the 1970’s and 1980’s, resilience was
adapted by the ecological and psychological
communities to describe somewhat different
phenomena.
• In psychology, the term was used to describe
groups that did not change behavior in spite of
adversity (e.g., Werner).
• In ecology, the term was used to describe
ecosystems that continued to function more or
less the same in spite of adversity
(most notably Holling).

• 2 billion living in
hidden hunger
• 1.2 billion living in

32. In the Millennium report, adaptive mosaic was selected as
the most promising alternative to enhance protection of
ecosystem services – valuable genetic resources form
pricipal basis for adaptive mosaic.
• Global Orchestration Globally connected society that focuses on global trade and
economic liberalization and takes a reactive approach to ecosystem problems but that
also takes strong steps to reduce poverty and inequality and to invest in public goods
such as infrastructure and education.
Order from Strength
Regionalized and
fragmented world,
concerned with security and
protection, emphasizing
primarily regional markets,
paying little attention to
public goods, and taking a
reactive approach to
ecosystem problems.
• Adapting Mosaic Regional watershed-scale
ecosystems are the focus of political and economic
activity. Local institutions are strengthened and local
ecosystem management strategies are common;
societies develop a strongly proactive approach to the
management of ecosystems.
TechnoGarden Globally connected world relying strongly on
environmentally sound technology, using highly managed,
often engineered, ecosystems to deliver ecosystem
services, and taking a proactive approach to the
management of ecosystems in an effort to avoid problems.

Producing Performance
• Circular economy: reduce, reuse,
remanufacture, recycle
• new metric of the value-per-weight ratio (€-per-
kg) to measure wealth creation in relation to
resource consumption
• resource efficiency (rebound impact
managed)
• strategies how to significantly boost this ratio
up
Sirpa Kurppa May 14th 201839

40. © Natural Resources Institute Finland
Managing Performance over Time
• the new metric of the labour input-per-weight ratio
(man hour-per-kg) to measure job creation in
relation to resource consumption and highlights
ways to radically increase this ratio by preserving value
• business models used focus on extending the
service-life of goods and components through
reuse, remanufacturing and technological
updating
• Legitimacy from EU waste directive and
development of circular economy

Useful tool for tomorrow’s functional
service economy?
• introduces the business models that turn knowledge into
better performance, more jobs and greater wealth,
• describes how to improve the processing, product service
sales and performance over time,
• shows how innovations in traditional sectors can preserve
embodied resources and create both manual and skilled
jobs, resulting in lower unemployment, lower energy
consumption, less waste and greatly reduced resource
throughput – major ingredients for economic growth.
• Introduces new decoupling metrics to measure the relation
between value, jobs and resource consumption
Sirpa Kurppa May 14th 201841

42. © Natural Resources Institute Finland
Selling Performance
• business models that enable entrepreneurs to
achieve synergies by profitably exploiting the three
objectives of more value, more jobs and
considerably less resource consumption
• procurement strategy of buying performance
instead of goods
• selling performance has a strong environmental
component because it internalises the costs of
risk and of waste and rewards sufficiency
