With more energy generated from renewable energy sources than from fossil fuels in the European Union for the first time ever at the end of July 2024, what are the chances that the European Union can achieve zero-carbon of its economy much earlier than 2050?
For the first time ever at the end of July 2024, more energy was generated in the European Union from renewable energy sources than from fossil fuels. This fact may suggest that due to rapidly developing renewable energy sources, the European Union may achieve zero-carbon of its economy much sooner than 2050. However, the structure of energy sources, including renewable, zero-carbon and emission-based, fossil-fuel-burning energy sources, varies widely across the European Union. Also, the pace of development of individual renewable and emission-free energy sources, the scale of financial investment and the large-scale use and implementation of new green energy technologies and eco-innovation varies considerably across the European Union. On the one hand, in Norway, for example, almost all of the energy generated comes from renewable energy sources. On the other hand, in Poland, since the beginning of the systemic and economic transformation, since 1989, for more than 3 decades financial subsidies were provided from the state's public finance system mainly to the fossil fuel extraction sector and the energy sector based on the combustion of these fuels. As a result, today in Poland, almost 3/4 of the electricity and even more of the thermal energy is still generated from dirty combustion energy based mainly on burning hard coal and lignite. In addition, hard coal mining in Poland within the framework of deep, highly methane mines, especially deep seams for many years is no longer profitable and generates additional costs for the state's public finances. It should be added that 90 percent of coal burned in the European Union to heat homes, apartments, etc. is the share of Poland alone against the background of the aforementioned European Union. And, for example, in Germany, which has a much more developed renewable and emission-free energy sector, for many years housing cooperatives have been generating thermal energy to heat apartments, entire housing estates from renewable energy sources, such as using heat pumps powered by electricity generated from photovoltaic panels. So Poland has a lot of work to do in terms of green energy transition. Unfortunately, the plan to build the first nuclear power plant is once again being postponed by the next government in Poland to an undefined and distant future.
I described the key aspects of a closed-loop economy, including a green, sustainable economy, in my article:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
In the following article, I included the results of the research I conducted on the connection of the issue of sustainable development, the genesis and meaning of the Sustainable Development Goals, the essence of sustainable development in the context of social, normative, economic, environmental, climate, as well as human rights aspects, etc. The research also addressed the issue of key determinants of human existential security as an element of the concept of sustainable development.
HUMAN SECURITY AS AN ELEMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW
I invite you to familiarize yourself with the issues described in the publications given above and to scientific cooperation in these issues.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
In view of the fact that for the first time in history at the end of July 2024 in the European Union more energy was generated from renewable energy sources than from fossil fuels, what are the chances that the European Union can achieve zero-carbon of its economy much earlier than 2050?

New York, 28 June - With only six years left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), progress so far falls significantly short of what is needed. The SDGs represent a blueprint for a more resilient and prosperous world and a roadmap out of current global crises. However, the 2024 SDG report released today warns that without substantial investments and intensive action, achieving these goals will remain out of reach.

You read current ACADEMIC PAPERS on sustainability written like if the concept never existed before despite being available with just a simple RESEARCHGATE SEARCH OR ACADEMIA SEARCH OR GOOGLE SEARCH since before and after WCED 1987 called for moving away from business as usual. Ignoring the past to advance concepts as new is not consistent with Thomas Kuhn's paradigm evolution loop. And this raises the question, Is the current sustainability research agenda in support of business as usual based on academic tunneling?
I think Yes, what do you think?
These days, when talking about the circular economy, they use talking points without even mentioning the pollution production problem associated with the working of the traditional market or with economic activity which it is also present in the working of circular markets or circular economic activity...See how the UN CLIMATE CHANGE PROMISE talks about a circular economy with no link to its pollution production problem nature and with no mention of the need to move one day to pollution-less economies....
" What is circular economy and why does it matter?
And this raises the question: Imagine you are the environment, can a circular pollution production solution/circularity fix the linear pollution production problem/linearity you face?
What do you think? If you think Yes, please indicate why. If you think No, please indicate why no.
Note;
This is an academic question, not a political one.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They aim to address major global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. The SDGs are interconnected, meaning progress in one area affects others, and they focus on promoting sustainable development by balancing economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. The goal is to achieve a better, more sustainable future for all by 2030. AI can accelerate the pace of SDG.

Explain the concept of sustainable development, and then discuss the various approaches to sustainability and environmentalism. Which approach (es) do you subscribe to and why?
In the context of preparing pre-service teachers for promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), it is essential to identify and critically evaluate the global policy frameworks that guide the integration of sustainability into education systems. This discussion seeks to explore key frameworks and their implications for teacher education.
Questions for discussion
- Which global policy frameworks or declarations are most relevant for integrating ESD into pre-service teacher education?
- What are the key strengths and challenges of implementing these frameworks in the context of pre-service teacher training, particularly in regions like South Africa?
Your insights on these questions will help in understanding how global policies shape the education of future teachers and their role in promoting sustainability.

What is Education for Sustainability Development (ESD)?
The current trend appearing to have come from nowhere in 2024 promoting economic circularity to solve a sustainability problem embedded in it is mind boggling, which leads to the question: If a linearly polluting society is not sustainable, how can a circularity polluting society be sustainable?
Perhaps someone promoting economic circularity can explain
Note:
This question is academic, not political.
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?

The Traditional Market and the Sustainability Market: Is the Perfect Market Sustainable?
Can the central bank's monetary policy be green, can it support the green transformation processes of the economy, can it promote the realization of sustainable development goals, can it support the sustainable development of the banking sector, the financial sector and the economy as a whole, can it be environmentally and climate socially responsible, can it be multifaceted sustainable?
If the central bank were to lend money to commercial banks on additionally preferential terms, with a concomitant requirement that the money be used to finance commercial banks' implementation of green investment projects by their customers, and thus conduct a green lending policy of providing green loans, could this kind of activity conducted by the central bank be described as green central banking activity? And if the scale of low-cost green loans thus provided by the central bank to commercial banks developing green commercial banking were relatively large, could the concept of green central banking monetary policy be introduced for this kind of situation? The above questions arise from the ever-increasing scale of some commercial banks' activities of granting green loans, issuing green corporate bonds, and, in combination with other financial instruments, conducting green banking, whereby commercial banks provide their clients, including borrowers, with financing for business ventures described as green because they are part of the trends of green transformation of the economy, increasing the scale of implementation of sustainable development goals, implementing investment projects involving, for example, the development of green energy. on the development of green energy, construction of power plants generating energy from renewable and emission-free energy sources, construction of wastewater treatment plants, improvement of logistics of sustainable production, development of waste sorting and recycling systems, development of sustainable organic agriculture, development of green areas, carrying out processes of aforestation of post-industrial areas, development of electromobility, etc. In view of the above, in the situation of the ever-increasing scale of the conducted process of green transformation of the economy and the increasing scale of commercial banks' green loans, green leasing, issuance of green bonds, etc., it is also in the field of central banking that analogous processes of increasing the importance of green finance should take place.
I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article:
I invite you to discuss this important topic for the future of the planet's biosphere and climate.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can the monetary policy pursued by the central bank be green, can it support the processes of green transformation of the economy, can it promote the realization of sustainable development goals, can it support the sustainable development of the banking sector, the financial sector and the economy as a whole, can it be environmentally and climate socially responsible, can it be multifaceted sustainable?
Can the central bank's monetary policy be multifaceted sustainable, including whether it can be green?

Como as ações superficiais de empresas em relação à Agenda 2030 podem impactar a credibilidade dos 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS)? De que forma essas iniciativas "greenwashing" e "ESGwashing" podem afetar não apenas a imagem das empresas, mas também a realidade dos colaboradores e a percepção do público em geral sobre a sustentabilidade?
Esta questão visa fomentar uma reflexão crítica sobre a ética e a autenticidade nas práticas de marketing voltadas para a sustentabilidade.

Is a low carbon development market a green market model?
If yes;
Is low carbon development a win-win sustainable development model?
If yes;
Is low carbon development a green growth based market model?
If yes;
Is low carbon development a win-win economy-environment partnership model?
If yes.
Then, sustainable development a la low carbon is a green markets/green growth based model.
Therefore, if they believe this why not to say openly that to ensure environmental sustainability as per goal 7 of the Millenium Development Goals(MDGs) we have to implement sustainable development strategies(e.g. low carbon) through green market based green growth?...
If they believe that, then why to use low carbon development sometimes, sustainable development sometimes, green growth sometimes, and green markets sometimes in any document coming from the UN institutions related to this file or agreements like the 2015 Paris Agreement giving the impression that they are not closely related concepts, but the same?. Why not to minimize confusion?

It was mesmerizing, broad goals - far to reach and lucks some of SMART techniques even the detailed goals. Which of these would able to achieve, already achieved or far to achieve? How about the financial & non-financial resources utilized so far, … many questions can be raised.
In one way or the other, though differs in degree, all nations shall have a concern for these goals. Any comment or discussion 're welcome?
What should be the structure of the energy mix of various energy sources in order for the national energy system to be safe and emission-free, i.e. in line with the green transformation of the economy and the realization of sustainable development goals?
What should be the structure of the energy mix of various energy sources so that the national energy system is characterized by independence from various factors and a high level of energy security?
The structure of the energy mix of various energy sources is determined by a number of factors. On the one hand, these are historical factors, technological, geographic, natural, economic conditions, etc. On the other hand, these are the determinants arising from a certain adopted energy policy, including taking into account the implementation of the goals of sustainable development, the principles of green transformation of the energy sector, social climate and environmental responsibility, and taking care of prospective future energy security. Taking into account the aforementioned determinants, there is a non-uniform structure of the energy mix of various energy sources in different countries. Taking into account the mentioned energy policy issues, the structure of the energy mix of various energy sources should be constructed in such a way that the national energy system, on the one hand, is characterized by independence from various factors and a high level of energy security, and, on the other hand, should also be in line with the green transformation of the economy and the implementation of sustainable development goals. In Poland in recent years, in terms of renewable energy sources, photovoltaic was the most significant in the structure of the share of installed capacity. Wind power came second, hydroelectric power was third, followed by biomass and biogas power plants. Unfortunately, still more than 70 percent of electricity and even more thermal energy is generated in Poland in conventional thermal power plants powered by coal or lignite. Successively from year to year, as part of the progressive green transformation of the energy industry, the share of various types of renewable energy sources in the energy mix of energy sources is steadily increasing.
I described the key issues of the green transformation of the economy, including the green transformation of the energy sector, in my article below:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
I invite you to discuss this important topic for the future of the planet's biosphere and climate.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Taking into account both the aspects of the implemented green transformation of the economy, reaching in the future a zero-carbon economy operating under the formula of a circular economy, and taking into account the issues of energy security and the ever-increasing demand for energy, as well as various economic, climatic, environmental, grological conditions, etc., in the country in which I operate the structure of the mix of energy sources in the overall national energy sector should be diversified with a predominance of renewable and zero-carbon energy sources. During the transition period, i.e. the period of implementation of the green energy transition plan, it is permissible to develop to a certain, but not dominant extent low-carbon energy sources such as nuclear power, biofuel-based and natural gas-based energy. In the future, low-carbon energy sources should be replaced by developed wind power, solar power, hydropower, hydrogen power, geothermal power, waste heat recovery and other renewable and zero-carbon energy sources. In contrast, the key issue now is the rapid replacement of high-emission energy sources based on coal and lignite, oil, fuel oil and firewood with developed RES. The fact that in a country where I have been operating for many decades and continue to financially support fossil fuel extraction and combustion coal-based energy is a matter of great embarrassment to citizens and anachronistic. It is also an important issue from the point of view of citizens' health, because by the fact that still more than 2/3 of electricity and more than 3/4 of thorny energy is produced from coal, this also translates into poor quality of the air that citizens breathe.
And why the above issue is important is what I wrote in the following publication:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Do you agree that building modern human society is the goal of sustainable development and even the means of achieving it?
Why is the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems not recognized everywhere as one of the priority elements of the green transformation of the economy?
Should the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems, including highly biodiverse forest ecosystems in post-industrial and other areas degraded by unsustainable human activities be recognized as one of the priority elements of the green transformation of the economy?
Why included in Goal 15 (of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals) is the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems in post-industrial areas, the restoration of highly biodiverse forest ecosystems, the development of reforestation programs, which should be implemented on a large scale already by 2020 (Task 15.1. included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: By 2020, ensure the protection, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and other ecosystems, particularly forests, wetlands and drylands, and mountains, in accordance with international commitments). has still not been implemented in some countries?
Ongoing research shows that included in Goal 15 (out of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals) is the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems in post-industrial areas, the restoration of highly biodiverse forest ecosystems, the development of afforestation programs, which should already be implemented on a large scale by 2020 (Task 15.1. included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: By 2020, ensure the protection, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and other ecosystems, particularly forests, wetlands and drylands, and mountains, in accordance with international commitments). has still not been implemented in some countries. In some countries, in recent years, there are still many post-industrial areas, including mining spoil heaps, that have not been developed in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, i.e. restoration of the natural environment has not been undertaken. In addition, in some countries, still instead of sustainable forest management consisting of strict protection of old-growth, natural highly biodiverse forest ecosystems, restoration of biodiverse forest ecosystems referring to the natural ones occurring for thousands of years in a specific area characterized by a specific mix of natural and climatic conditions, industrial cultivation of only some tree species for industrial cutting is carried out, and predatory pseudo forest management consisting of cutting all trees in a specific area is carried out, including cutting down old-growth forests and by the way destroying entire biodiverse ecosystems, which also results in accelerated degradation, soil barrenness, deterioration of water retention and local microclimate. On the other hand, it has been widely known for many years on the basis of the results of thousands of research works that restoration of the natural environment, including biodiverse forest ecosystems, increases the scale of sustainability in terms of human-biosphere, climate and biodiversity relations. In turn, the restoration of the natural environment in post-industrial and other areas degraded by unsustainable human activity increases the areas of the biosphere and reduces the scale of the negative effects of civilizational unsustainable human activity, including reducing the scale of environmental pollution and reducing the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The effect is to slow down the progressive greenhouse effect and thus reduce the scale of global warming. Reducing the scale and slowing down the progressive process of global warming generates a reduction in the scale of the negative effects of the ongoing climate change, i.e. a reduction in the scale and frequency of weather anomalies and climatic disasters, including, above all, the increasingly severe periods of drought covering more and more land areas, in addition to the yearly occurrence of higher and higher summer temperatures, increasingly severe shortages of drinking water and/or increasingly violent storms with torrential rains and floods. Therefore, the restoration of the natural environment in areas degraded by the development of industry, ongoing mining activities or unsustainable agriculture in the industrial formula, including the development of afforestation programs, restoration of biodiverse forest ecosystems contributes to improving the local microclimate, improves water retention processes, slows down the processes of soil barrenness and/or reverses these processes, contributes to the restoration of highly fertile and biodiverse microbial soils, results in increasing the scale of ecological and climatic sustainability, increases the scale of resilience of the planet's highly biodiverse natural ecosystems and/or flexibility to adapt to a changing climate, and improves livelihoods for humans as well. Therefore, taking into account the above-mentioned great positive qualities of the processes of restoration of the natural natural environment, including biodiverse forest ecosystems then, in parallel, the scale of strict nature conservation should be increased, including increasing the areas of natural ecosystems, including natural natural ecosystems and those being restored. In this way, the amount of greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere will increase more slowly, and thus the process of global warming, which has been accelerating over the past several decades, can be slowed down. In view of the above, due to the high level of relevance of the process of restoration of the natural environment, reclamation of areas of natural ecosystems devastated by man, protection of highly biodiverse natural ecosystems for the climate and biosphere of the planet and also for future generations of people, restoration of the natural environment, including biodiverse forest ecosystems in post-industrial and other areas degraded by unsustainable human activities should be considered one of the priority elements of the green transformation of the economy. Implemented fully and seriously, the green transformation of the economy, in which an important role is played by pro-climate, pro-environmental, pro-biodiversity and thus realistically also pro-social policies, should also fully take into account the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Unfortunately, this is still not practiced in all parts of the world.
I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Why included in Goal 15 (out of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals) is the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems in post-industrial areas, the restoration of highly biodiverse forest ecosystems, the development of reforestation programs, which should be implemented on a large scale already by 2020 (Task 15.1. included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: By 2020, ensure the protection, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and other ecosystems, particularly forests, wetlands and drylands, and mountains, in accordance with international commitments). still not implemented in some countries?
Should the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems, including highly biodiverse forest ecosystems in post-industrial and other areas degraded by unsustainable human activities be considered one of the priority elements of the green transformation of the economy?
Why is the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems not recognized everywhere as one of the priority elements of the green transformation of the economy?

The climate crisis is multifaceted with the environmental crisis. Accordingly, the protection of nature, the biosphere, the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems should, like climate protection, be universally recognized as a key strategic goal of green economic transformation, scaling up the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and building a sustainable, zero-carbon, green circular economy.
To support my thesis, I give the results of my research in the following publication:

Why is it that still in some countries the development of dirty combustion energy is supported instead of developing clean, emission-free renewable energy and the process of green transformation of the economy is little implemented and is slowed down?
Why are issues of climate protection, biosphere protection, biodiversity of natural ecosystems still ignored in some countries and the development of dirty combustion energy based mainly on the generation of energy from the combustion of coal, lignite, oil mazut, fuel oil, wood, etc., is supported instead of developing clean, emission-free renewable energy based on wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, hydroelectric, hydrogen or possibly nuclear energy? Why are pro-climate, pro-environmental policies still being ignored in some parts of the world, sustainable development goals are not being followed, the future of the climate, the biosphere, the planet's biodiversity and the next generations of people are being ignored? Why is a short-sighted robbery unsustainable economy still being used instead of a green, sustainable closed-loop economy? Why do politicians continue to ignore the needs of citizens, voters and fail to implement real pro-social economic policies?
Only about 13.5 percent of renewable energy in 2023 was generated from windmills in Poland. This is the largest share of all types of renewable energy sources in Poland. If the government of the so-called “united right”, i.e. the government composed mainly of right-wing PIS political options, which was functioning in Poland in 2015-2023, had not blocked the development of onshore energy in Poland in 2016, this share could now be several times higher, energy prices much lower, the security and energy independence of the Polish energy sector would have stood at a much higher level. But the PIS government, which was acting at the time, preferred to support the development of dirty coal power. Paradoxically, since 2016, the production of electricity from wind or solar was already perceptibly cheaper compared to the production of energy generated by burning fossil fuels, including, for example, coal and lignite. And in the following years this trend steadily deepened. In this way, the PIS government acted not only anti-economically but also anti-climatically, anti-environmentally and anti-socially. Besides, this kind of energy policy contradicts the European Union's climate and environmental policy, the EU's New Green Deal. Unfortunately, not much has changed on this issue since 2023. The new political option, which won the parliamentary elections on 15.10.2023 in large part thanks to the slogans applied during the election campaign of significantly increasing the scale of implementation of the processes of green transformation of the economy, including the protection of nature, climate and biodiversity of natural ecosystems, changing the robbery pseudo-management of forests to sustainable pro-environmental forest management, increasing the scale of afforestation, reducing the robbery felling of trees and old-growth forests, increasing the areas of strict protection of natural biodiverse ecosystems, etc. unfortunately, still does not implement the election promises made to citizens, voters. The development of renewable energy sources will probably accelerate in the coming years in connection with the relatively highest compared to renewable energy and rising prices of energy produced from burning coal, and in connection with the fact that additional financial subsidies from the European Union within the framework of the National Reconstruction Plan are finally appearing in Poland, which are mainly intended according to the guidelines of the European Union for the continuation of green energy transformation processes implemented in accordance with the EU Green Deal. Thanks to this, the process of green energy transformation which is one of the key segments of the process of green transformation of the economy is being implemented at all although on a relatively small scale, but at some pace.

In my opinion, there is still much room for improvement in the financing of green investment projects that are key components of the green transformation of the economy. There are still underdeveloped programs for green financing of pro-climate and pro-environmental investment projects from the state's public finance system. There is also much room for improvement in the issue of green financing carried out by commercially operating business entities, including commercial banks providing green loans. It happens that commercial banks, presenting their green financing in advertising campaigns, mainly practice greenwashing, while the real activity of lending pro-climate and pro-environmental economic projects is a small part of the total lending activity carried out.

SDGs = UN' Sustainable Development Goals
HEI = Higher Education Institutions
If any relation is detected, you should specify which these are and how they work or must be working. You can give any ideas to optimize this processes or actions.
How could physics help in the achievement of sustainable development goals?
What are the roles of innovation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)?
Are commercial banks practicing greenwashing by advertising so-called green loans, i.e. loans which they have been giving on a small scale for many years and have recently called green loans?
Do financial institutions, including commercial banks practice greenwashing by advertising so-called green loans, i.e. loans which they have been giving on a small scale for many years and have recently called green loans in connection with fashionable trends for sustainable economy, green economy, green transformation, closed loop economy, realization of sustainable development goals?
Globally, financial institutions, including commercial and investment banks continue to finance on a large scale the development of dirty energy based on the burning of fossils and the mining sector involved in extracting fossil fuels from the earth's crust. On the other hand, in recent years, financial institutions, including commercial banks recognizing the growth of pro-environmental, pro-climate and pro-environmental awareness of citizens, i.e. also customers of banking product and service offerings. Therefore, in order to improve their image in advertising campaigns, conferences, public relations meetings, etc., they present themselves as green financial institutions offering green loans, green bonds and other forms of green external financing. So-called green external financing is carried out by banks on the same terms or on a slightly promotional basis vis-à-vis other types of external financing not qualified by the definition of these terms as green financing. The research shows that financial institutions, including commercial banks are practicing greenwashing by advertising so-called green loans, i.e. loans which they have been providing for many years on a small scale and recently, in connection with the fashionable trends for sustainable economy, green economy, green transformation, closed loop economy, realization of sustainable development goals, have called green loans. In addition, individual commercial banks in order to distinguish themselves from each other in terms of their green financing offers and their green financial institution missions, missions articulated in advertising campaigns and marketing communications with customers are for the same issues of green, sustainable, zero-carbon closed loop economy use different terms for the same issues. Well, in marketing communications using the issues of the above-mentioned issues, they use different terms for sustainable economy, green economy, green economy transformation, closed loop economy, realization of sustainable development goals, etc. Since commercial banks have for many years been lending, among other things, to such economic ventures as the construction of sewage treatment plants, the erection of a windmill to generate electricity, the acquisition of new technologies by a municipal cleaning company, etc., and it is only recently that this financing has been called green financing and is particularly promoted and highlighted in advertising campaigns that there are considerations about the possibility of large-scale greenwashing by financial institutions operating in this way. Just as many years ago, when the concepts of sustainable economy, sustainable development goals, zero-carbon economy, closed-loop economy did not appear in the marketing communications of commercial banks, media debates, or did not yet exist at all, commercial banks financed pro-environmental business ventures, which at the time were not defined and defined in such a way. However, both at that time, e.g. in the late 1990s and earlier, the scale of lending that financed pro-environmental, pro-climate, pro-sustainability economic ventures was relatively small. The situation is similar today. In the 1990s in Poland, even a commercial bank, which has the term “Bank Ochrony Środowiska” in its name, also granted loans to finance projects that had nothing to do with ecology and sustainable economic development and the financing that we now call green was only part of the total lending activity. On the other hand, the relatively small increase in the scale of green lending by commercial banks recorded in recent years is due to the banks' use of emerging opportunities for co-participation in green financing programs for investment projects carried out mainly in the field of green transformation of the energy sector, including, for example, financing the installation by prosumers of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of their properties or businesses based on financial subsidies from the state's public finance system and/or European Union grants. Co-participation of commercial banks involves, for example, providing bridge loans to borrowers who, using subsidies from the state's public finance system, implement certain pro-climate and/or pro-environmental economic projects. In POlska, some such programs for financing green economic ventures with subsidies are combined with the obligatory use of bridge loans pending the transfer of subsidies. In Poland, banks have lobbied in the political sphere for this kind of solution in order to increase for themselves the market for loans granted and to increase the scale of the various types of loans that have been granted for years, which now then qualify for so-called green financing. In addition, commercial banks are motivated to develop green financing by the new European Union regulations coming into force regarding the corporate obligations imposed first on large corporations, large enterprises and companies and in subsequent years, i.e. from 2025 onwards, also on SME operators with regard to obligations to implement expanded, non-financial ESG reporting. The aforementioned expanded, non-financial ESG reporting is to play the role of increasing the transparency of companies, including equity companies, listed companies to shareholders, business counterparties and customers, and is to play the role of a motivator to increase the scale of implementation of pro-climate, pro-environmental, green business ventures, increase the scale of inclusion in the processes of green transformation of the economy and the implementation of sustainable development goals. commercial banks have seen in this process synergies for themselves and new opportunities for business development and cooperation with key customers such as business entities. Subsequently, all these emerging opportunities in recent years that banks use to scale up the development of green financing are presented in advertising campaigns as key determinants of their banking business presented as green banking, socially responsible banking, climate and environmentally responsible banking, banking that pursues many of the goals of sustainable development, banking that is highly supportive of the green transformation of the economy which is often an outstanding exaggeration of this issue, i.e. presenting themselves as green financial institutions. In view of the above, many commercial banks that currently use the technique of presenting themselves in marketing communications as green financial institutions on a large scale are practicing greenwashing.
I have described key aspects of the realities of the so-called green finnsing currently practiced by commercial banks, including the green loans they provide and many other key aspects of the green transformation of the economy in the article:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

How could A.I. support sustainable development goals (SDG)?
How can green training contribute to achieving sustainable development?
How can we have both environmental and indigenous people protection together with shipping all year-round, as well as natural resources exploitation?
What role in protecting the biodiversity of the natural ecosystems of the planet is played by the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy?
What role in protecting the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems is played by the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, the implementation of climate and environmental policies, the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy, etc. to build a sustainable, carbon-free, green closed-loop economy?
The realization of sustainable development goals, the implementation of climate and environmental policies, the implementation of the green economy transformation process, etc. the goal of building a sustainable, emission-free, green closed-loop economy is, among other things, to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere until the economy becomes emission-free, so that the planet's greenhouse effect process is effectively reduced and baby the progressive process of global warming slows down. However, since the key negative effects of the progressive process of global warming include increasingly severe droughts, higher and higher temperatures during summer heat waves, acceleration of soil aridity, more frequent forest fires but also sometimes unusual weather anomalies, violent storms with torrential downpours causing flooding and sometimes problematic floods, so the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy becomes a key element in the systemic protection of the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems as well. In recent years, new ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0, including Internet of Things technologies, cloud computing, multi-criteria simulation models, digital twins, smart technologies, Big Data Analytics, Business Intelligence analytical and reporting systems, machine learning, deep learning, generative artificial intelligence, are being applied in improving techniques for monitoring the state of the planet's natural ecosystems and developing techniques for protecting the biodiversity of natural ecosystems.
I have described the key issues concerning the problem of green transformation of the economy in the following article:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

The unfolding global climate crisis is also an environmental crisis, as the ongoing process of global warming is a significant factor negatively affecting the planet's biosphere and is a source factor for the loss of biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems. The loss of biodiversity is caused by increasing periods of drought, a decrease in rainfall in many parts of the world, increasingly frequent forest fires and the increasing occurrence of various types of weather anomalies and climatic disasters. Therefore, research on the climate crisis should be conducted in parallel with the analysis of the loss of biodiversity caused by the aforementioned crisis. Besides, the measures taken to reduce the scale of action of the said negative processes, i.e., the various types of human efforts to protect the planet's climate and biosphere should also be planned and implemented taking into account a more holistic view of the said issues involving various interdependent, multifaceted issues of the planet's climate, biosphere and biodiversity.

It seems that since 2012 Rio +20 Conference, the world has been moving away from science based perfect market thinking, a moved that apparently has been helped by the confusion created by the 2012 green market paradigm shift avoidance move or the green market shift avoidance period 2012-2024, and this raises the question, Is science based on a political definition science?
What do you think? Yes, why? No, why not?
Since 1987 WCED report "Our Common Future" pollution has been increasing, not decreasing, as no pollution reduction markets have been set up yet to transition towards pollution-less markets, which raises the question: Why should we expect pollution management markets to lead us increasingly away and away from pollution-less markets?.
Any ideas to the why?
Note: If you understand the difference between how pollution management markets and pollution reduction markets in terms of pollution-less market transition friendliness work, you may be able to see why.
