Dear All,

I am currently in search of a fully-funded Master's degree opportunity in the domains of water resources or transportation engineering. I possess both a Bachelor’s degree and a Diploma in Civil Engineering.

With extensive experience in GIS sensing systems and Highway Civil 3D, coupled with a strong enthusiasm for innovative research concerning water and pavement structure interaction, I am keen to engage in advanced research and collaborate with esteemed experts in the field.

Should you have knowledge of any relevant programs, professors, or opportunities in this area, I would be immensely grateful if you could share the information with me or connect me with someone who may assist.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Under perfect market thinking, the responsibilities of governments and of corporations in development are known, which raises the question: Under perfect market thinking, who is to be blamed if social and/or environmental systems collapse, governments or corporations? Why?

Who do you think is to be blamed? And why do you think that is the case?

A short answer who and why is the best.

In a world of environmentally dirty markets, how we treat the pollution problem determines the nature of each market and its structure, which raises the question: Can you see the similarities and differences between Pollution production markets, Pollution reduction markets, and Pollution management markets?

Think about it, what do you think?

The findings of a recent literature review I conducted indicate that, among all the by-products of olive oil production, wastewater has received the least attention from a life cycle perspective. I would be interested to understand which best practices you are aware of for the valorization of olive oil wastewater.

Since we globally push towards a more sustainable future, cellular agriculture can be an emerging game-changer in food production.

This innovative field uses cell cultures to produce agricultural products such as meat or chocolate, bypassing traditional farming methods. Instead of growing whole plants or raising animals, specific cells are grown in controlled environments such as bioreactors to produce the desired products. In the context of chocolate production, cellular agriculture involves growing cocoa cells in bioreactors to ultimately produce chocolate.

This food production trend could drastically reduce the environmental and societal impact of traditional farming.

💡 Join the conversation and share your thoughts: The potential of cellular agriculture to reduce environmental footprint of food production and ensure food security is immense and innovation is key to a sustainable future. Share your views on this emerging field and let’s discuss how we can advance this exciting field together.

Hi Folks,

There happens to be a small island in Red Sea, KSA, a portion of which is inhabited by a good number of Red Sea Ghost Crabs (Ocypode Saratan). In the coming months, there is expected to be a jetty coming up in that patch of the island. Considering the near-endemism of these crabs, is there a protocol which can be adopted to carry on with the construction of the jetty without disturbing the crab population? There are other similar patches in the island, but with rocky barriers between them.

Also I would like to know if there is any translocation protocol available?

Thanking in anticipation!!

Since 1987 we have been trying to solve a sustainability issue like the eco-economic development issue through sustainable development means, a theory-practice inconsistency, so not surprise the social and environmental sustainability issues the Brundtland Commission highlighted then to be addressed are in worse state today,,,,Pollution still increasing and the sustainability problem more acute.

If the price distortions embedded in Adam Smith's traditional market model thinking are not addressed head on, the Thomas Kuhn.s paradigm evolution loop suggest that the worsening of the environmental abnormalities embedded fully in the traditional market thinking and partially in dwarf green market thinking will push the environmentally patched business as usual model towards collapse, which raises the question: Does the Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop predicts the future collapse of dwarf green markets?

I think yes, what do you think?

What is impact of climate change on environmental sustainability ?

In the past, only a few companies and enterprises have, on their own initiative, applied non-mandatory enhanced non-financial reporting, including reporting on issues of meeting sustainability goals, green business transformation, environmental and climate social responsibility, creation and implementation of new green investments and eco-innovations, adding sustainability and green business strategies to the company's mission, conducting business in accordance with the principles of green economics and closed-loop economics, including, among others. Among other things, significantly decarbonizing production processes, basing production processes or the provision of services on energy from renewable and zero-emission energy sources, increasing the scale of recycling and reducing the level of environmental pollution from the manufacturing processes of business entities, organizing and financing pro-environmental and pro-climate projects such as planning and implementing reforestation programs carried out in post-industrially degraded areas, etc. This was usually associated with a situation in which the issues of sustainable development goals and the green economy were, on their own initiative, integrated into the strategy of their business, inclusion in the company's mission and strategic directions of business development within the applied business model.

However, in connection with the growing importance of the issue of achieving the objectives of sustainable development and green transformation of the economy, the increase in the level of general social pro-climate and pro-environmental awareness related to the issue of the accelerating process of global warming, the inclusion of the issue of carbon intensity with the implementation of the objectives of sustainable development and conducting business in accordance with the principles of green economics, the need to reduce the scale of greenwashing practices increasingly used by many companies and enterprises, the linking of the issue of carbon intensity with the system of fees for CO2 emissions being developed in the European Union, etc., the need for legal normalization has emerged. the need for legal normalization of the issue of expanded, full non-financial reporting including ESG reporting has emerged.

The essence of ESG (environmental, social and governance) reporting is to take into account the sphere of social, environmental and managerial responsibility of business as part of full, extended non-financial reporting. In view of the above, ESG reporting has recently become one of the key issues that determine the reputation but also the competitiveness of companies in the market. Research shows that business entities that undertake and develop pro-social, pro-environmental, pro-climate, etc. non-financial ESG reporting projects achieve better financial performance. The issue of improved financial performance is derived from the improvement of image, the increase in the scale of the company's brand recognition, the growth of the company's reputation with customers and investors. Improving the level of competitiveness of the company achieved through ESG measures is a process that requires the implementation of a number of measures in many spheres of business operation. Therefore, business entities should increase the scale of taking into account the sphere of social, environmental and managerial responsibility of business as part of full, extended non-financial reporting. Accordingly, it is necessary to take into account the implementation of social, environmental and risk management objectives in the context of business operations as part of responsible decision-making. In the sphere of corporate social responsibility, companies and enterprises should increase the scale of creating good working conditions, increasing diversity and equality in the workplace and engaging in social activities. All these aspects should positively affect the perception of the company by customers and employees, improve the reputation and image of the business entity which should then positively affect the level of satisfaction and motivation among employees.

The issue of environmental protection, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the level of environmental pollutants is also a particularly important aspect of expanded non-financial ESG reporting, which has a significant impact on the company's image and financial performance. Planning, improving and implementing measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, reduce the scale of waste generation, increase the scale of recycling, reduce water consumption in manufacturing processes, apply the green, sustainable and closed-loop economics model are important elements of environmental, pro-environmental and pro-climate measures. Companies and enterprises that undertake and develop such pro-environmental and pro-climate projects gain recognition among customers, business counterparties and investors, which should also result in improved financial performance. Customers, business counterparties and investors noticing the pro-environmental and pro-climate measures taken by companies and enterprises notice that in this way certain business entities are also becoming fully pro-social in real terms.

And in the area of risk management, expanded non-financial ESG-sensitive reporting can help companies minimize the costs associated with potential risks associated with increasingly pro-environmental and pro-climate business activities. This can also reduce the scale of scandals involving ethical issues and increase the likelihood of avoiding risks associated with corrupt practices. The improvement of risk management processes increases the resilience of companies and enterprises to the negative factors of the external economic environment, including the impact of economic crises, economic recessions on the operation of the company's business, contributes to the precise estimation of the level of risk, the definition of risks and the preparation of appropriate safety reserves, the development of early warning systems for threats and development opportunities of business entities, motivates the creation of emergency systems, crisis management, etc. The effect of such activities carried out in the creation and improvement of risk management systems should also result in improved financial performance of companies, enterprises and other business entities. In addition to having a positive impact on a company's image, ESG can also help increase competitiveness in the market. ESG-related activities can generate savings for the company, improve the efficiency of business processes and increase customer and employee loyalty.

According to regulations adopted in the European Union, from 2024, full non-financial reporting will apply to large public interest companies already covered by the NFRD and with more than 500 employees. From 2025, full non-financial reporting will apply to companies with more than 250 employees and/or €40 million in turnover and/or €20 million in total assets. And from 2026, full non-financial reporting will apply to companies in the SME sector and other listed companies with more than 10 employees.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

And what is your opinion on this topic?

What is your opinion on this issue?

Please answer,

I invite everyone to join the discussion,

Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Market approaches and population dynamics approaches to system stability issues like environmental problems assume market and population dynamics independency. In other words, they assume market impacts work under population dynamics neutrality: they do not have population dynamics impacts; and population dynamics impacts work under market dynamic neutrality: they do not affect markets,

And this raises the question: Does the market and population dynamics independency assumption used by development practitioners explains the origin of the over population problem?

I think No, what do you think? Why?

environmental sustainability

Planet Earth inclusive of humanity is facing the unprecedented twin crisis of global warming and climate change which are impacting all systems and sectors transgressing all boundaries. There are two main approaches: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation for preventing greenhouse gases to build up in the atmosphere by curtailing its release at the source as well as by enhancing GHG sink. The second strategy involves measures for living with the climatic changes. A balanced mix of multiprong measures is to be taken from individual to institutional levels, from local, regional to global scale.

All the researchers, thinkers and RG friends are invited to take part in this important discussion with your insightful views and useful literature about the state of the art of mitigation and adaptive strategies - both traditional ecological knowledge and modern tools and technologies.

Symposium Date: 25 October 2024

Imaging a world under perfect red market thinking or under perfect socially friendly capitalism since 1776 had Adam Smith giving us that model then instead of the perfect traditional market, would that have created environmental sustainability problems too by 1987/WCED?

What do you think?

Yes, and why do you think so? No, and why do you think so?

Note:

This requires a little thinking outside the box

Hey there. I'm a Science, Business and Innovation student and for my thesis project I'm currently doing research on different production methods for large-scale cultivation of spirulina. Specifically, I'm comparing raceway ponds with tubular photobioreactors. The comparison I'm drawing is mostly techno-economic, but I'm also interested in comparisons in terms of product quality, sustainibility and reliability. As of right now, most of my research is based on literature and other scientific articles. I would love to validate some of my findings and hear what others think about large-scale spirulina production through interviews. So please, if you are willing to do an interview with me or know someone that might, let me know as it would help me greatly. Thank you in advance

I noticed that the terms ecological sustainability and environmental sustainability are often used interchangeably, but I'm not entirely sure about the nuances between them. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the differences between these two concepts.

At least in the economic arena, by this time the norm should have been green microeconomics and green macroeconomy since 2012 Rio +20 as the tools to be taught to deal with the environmental crisis as consensus on paradigm change to green market, green growth, and green economies was reached/RIO +20 Conference/UNCSD 2012, but traditional economic thinking and traditional macroeconomic thinking is still the norm, which means that universities knowingly or not are normalizing paradigm shift avoidance, and blocking the growth of knowledge a la Thomas Kuhn; and this raises the question: Paradigm shift avoidance and universities, do they have a duty to science based paradigm evolution of knowledge?

what do you think?

Simply state Yes and give your opinion on why you think Yes or say No, and state your opinion on why you think No.

Just as in the case of greenwashing where people can get tricked because the word GREEN sounds good, the same can be said with respect to the current move from linear economic thinking to circular economic thinking where some people may be tricked because the word CIRCULAR sounds good.

But those familiar with science based revolutions a la Thomas Kuhn should be able to spot WHERE THE TRICK IS.

And this raises the academic question, Why the current move from linear economic thinking to circular economic thinking is inconsistent with Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop?

What do you think?

Can you see the inconsistency?

And hence, can you see the trick?

Those familiar with that greenwashing is and the consequences of greenwashing should be able to see whether the answer to the question is short yes and why or a short no and why no without contradicting themselves while answering.

What do you think the answer is? Yes and why or No and why no.
