Objectives Having exposed themselves to different disciplinary perspectives of sustainable development, Associates have at least understood the complexities of practice in this premise. Planning is the first major step in actualizing alternative visions of the future and in linking decisions and actions in a coherent fashion to achieve the desired or optimal scenario. Planning for Sustainable Development is the theme of this training session. The session begins with a general review of planning in China. Planning does not always happen as a rational process, but is often constrained, affected and thus altered by various factors, e.g. economic, social, environmental and institutional ones. These factors will be examined and analyzed during this learning session. Some major planning tools dealing with these factors will be discussed, including cost-benefit analysis; social impact assessment; and EIA. Planning is also a process of multi-stakeholder dialogue through which to reach consensus at various levels. Associates will exercise the skills of “making consensus through negotiation.” In addition, the session will pick “sustainable forestry”, “environment governance on water resource” and “corporate social responsibility (CSR)” as topics of discussion, which will be featured by the next LEAD International Training Session in India. 2. Session structure The four modules are designed to achieve the objectives of this session, which contribute accomplishing the goal of LEAD learning - the vision development, skill building and practicing sustainable development.
