Here at open-sustainability we are developing a free and open standard for sustainability. This standard is focused on an information-centric approach to support sustainability, developed using MIKE2.0.

We have chosen this approach as tracking and analyzing data is an important to determine just how sustainable a product or service is. The approach applies best practice principles from modern software development and management consulting to drive sustainable development in complex organizations.

Using open source software we are developing the tools for Sustainability 2.0 – or as we call it FISDev, a Framework for Integrated Sustainable Development. FISDev is in the very early stages of development - and everyone is encouraged to help out by creating an article or editing the overall task list.
