Tools
Parallel
to the shaping and implementation of a “sustainable” policy in all spheres
of activity, the KKL-JNF will apply general tools for the
adva
ncing of sustainable development, including but not restricted to:
-
Public involvement
- Because a sustainable policy is founded on broad public-civic support,
and because development is for the sake of present and future
generations, the KKL-JNF will proactively initiate the involvement of
the public and ensure transparency in its information and
decision-making processes as an integral part of its policy
implementation.
-
Surveys and studies
- The KKL-JNF will take precautionary measures in its development
activity, including the drafting of environmental surveys that examine
all aspects of sustainability prior to the execution of projects that
have significant implications for the environment.
Due to impact on future generations, the KKL-JNF will invest independent
scientific and planning resources in research studying the long-term
impact of its activities. In addition, the KKL-JNF will adopt criteria
for the monitoring and utilization of indicators for measuring trends as
essential tools in evaluating its work.
-
Education
- The KKL-JNF education network aspires to
adva
nce the vision of sustainable development within Israeli society. As
such, the network will promote ecological, social-cultural, economic,
and inter-generational values of sustainable development as pillars of
its educational philosophy.
Comprehensive
sustaining organizational policy
- Because sustainable KKL-JNF development requires change in procedural
practice, and because the KKL-JNF has decided to fill the role of a leading
green organization, the principles of sustainable development will apply to
the full gamut of its activities. The KKL-JNF executive will promote a policy
compatible with sustaining principles in its policies and practices of
purchasing, transportation, waste handling removal, and related activity
