Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project seeks to review a secondary level (compulsory, post-primary) in-service teacher training project for environmental education funded by Directorate General Eleven (DGXI) of the European Commission (EC). Two aspects of the project, called the Euro-Awareness Project, are evaluated. These are the pan-European network, called the Euro-Awareness Network, established to facilitate the project and the development of an in-service teacher training module, called Module on the Environment, Sustainability and Awareness Geared to European Schools (MESAGES). In order to do so, this research project examines the nature of criteria determined by DGXI for the submission of project proposals and key features of education and teacher training systems throughout the European Union (EU). This research project seeks to answer two questions. Firstly, did the Euro-Awareness Project develop a replicable model of in-service teacher training for environmental education in the EU? Secondly, what is the likely contribution of the Euro-Awareness Project to the objectives of the EC Environment Strategy under which it was funded? The conclusions of this research project are that the Euro-Awareness Project provided a useful insight to environmental education but did not produce a teacher training module that will have a significant impact upon secondary school practice throughout the EU. This research project further concludes that in order for future projects to be able to do so, issues relating to DGXI funding criteria need to be addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a response to the climate crisis and its effect on marine ecosystems and coastal populations, this book proposes concrete science driven solutions at establishing transformation pathways towards Sustainable Blue Growth, that are supported by technically and socially innovative innovations. This book proposes investment options and management solutions that have the potential of making our seas and oceans resilient to crises- climate, financial, health- by laying the foundations for a green/blue, circular economy that is anchored in science driven solutions and geared toward public well-being. Now is the time to usher in systemic economic change and the good news is that we have our blueprint: it’s the combination of UN Agenda 2030 (17 SDG) and European Commission’s European Green Deal! There is no doubt that the Earth’s survival will depend on the protection and sustainable management of our seas and oceans and the resources they provide. This is recognized by the Joint Communication on International Ocean Governance, which is an integral part of the EU’s response to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and in particular to the targets set out by Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14) to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources”. The analytical framework and science-driven concrete management solutions proposed in this book can accelerate the transition to a sustainable management of our seas and oceans, by turning the current challenges into opportunities for sustainable economic growth which is both environmentally resilient and leaves no one behind.

Download or read book Business Transitions: A Path to Sustainability written by Annik Magerholm Fet and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book represents a journey documenting the development of tools and methodologies over 3 decades and asks where the future lies. It further develops seminal work carried out under the auspices of the Capacity building in Sustainability and Environmental Management (CapSEM) project co-funded by the EU Erasmus programme from 2016-2019 as well as research projects such as IGLO-MP2020, SUSPRO, and SISVI. It gathers existing paradigms of environmental management within the relevant frameworks which have driven the way in which this discipline has developed. It seeks to both challenge and support the way in which business sectors have approached this previously, with a more holistic and overarching model being provided, moving through four very distinct levels. It therefore provides not only a different approach, but a different way of thinking. Systems thinking is characterized by four levels: Process, Product Value Chain, Organisational and Systemic which combines Material Flow Analysis (MFA), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Industrial Ecology (IE) principles. In its practical application, Corporate Social Responsibility, for example, thus becomes an integral part of a much wider business strategy and impacts on all business activity, not added value for its own sake, but a valuable component in a wider toolbox as a fundamental part of any business strategy and plan, changing, flexing and developing over the years. The book is divided into 4 parts: moving from context and background, to the theoretical model or toolbox, onto its practical application in case studies and culminates in looking at the future and potential developments. It represents the multi-disciplined collaboration at NTNU and beyond, exemplifying its use in a wealth of business sectors and a range of stakeholders from construction to textiles to wind power as outlined in the European Circular Action Plan.

This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is a report on the technical aspects and current examples of fishing gear recycling as an option for end-of-life fishing gear waste management and pollution control. The report also discusses fishing gear recycling options in the context of circular economy and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principles. This report will be used for knowledge sharing, dissemination and capacity building purposes. It will assist with planning of GloLitter Partnerships pilot projects around cost–benefit analyses for end-of-life fishing gear port reception facilities, which can support fishing gear recycling. It will also assist with planning of GloLitter Partnerships phase II “pilot projects” to practically implement the proposed fishing gear recycling management systems and incentive schemes. The objectives the report are: summarize current fishing gear recycling technologies; share global case studies of fishing gear recycling initiatives; review the application of circular economy and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principles to fishing gear recycling; discuss trade-offs between available fishing gear recycling options, and recommend best practices for fishing gear recycling under differing socioeconomic and environmental contexts that progress circular economy and EPR principles.

This book was released on 2007-05-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that a New Deal for research in Europe is needed. This New Deal would involve the mobilisation of policy actors across all levels-–regional, national and European-–and their commitment to develop a more effective research system based on actions where they have the greatest impact. The book presents, from a viewpoint inside the European Commission, the nuts and bolts of how EU research policy is actually designed. It also provides a comprehensive analysis, on the basis of factual evidence, not only of the positive impacts of European research, but of the various criticisms that have been made of the Framework Programme.

This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a comprehensive overview of the European Sustainability Model which cannot be properly understood without taking into account the global governance trends surrounding the topic. The author offers a fresh analysis of both theory and praxis of sustainable development in the open-ended process of EU integration by shedding new light on the often-overlooked role that law and legal science should have within the educational and cultural domains. The monograph explores the necessity of new conceptual and methodological approaches in order to understand the emerging educational and cultural challenges when it comes to their integration and intersection with sustainability in today’s society, which desperately claims systemic transformations.

Download or read book Challenges and Opportunities for the EU Common Fisheries Policy Application in the Mediterranean and Black Sea written by Simone Libralato and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in the Mediterranean and Black Sea faces several challenges also because of large ecological, economic, political and institutional differences across the basin. The challenge of CFP application is exacerbated by the legal/administrative situation, with large areas outside national/EU jurisdictions, by the different development of fisheries that result in fleet capacities highly different on opposite shores of some sub-basins, as well as by uneven monitoring and data availability across the basins that result in situations that hamper sustainable management. This book collates analyses related to the application of the principles included in the CFP in Mediterranean and Black Sea, including assessments of current status, scenario analyses, visions of best solutions, evaluation of critical hot spots and effects of regionalization of fisheries management. The eBook tackles from local to transboundary issues and solutions and provides a broad vision of problems together with important practical solutions for CFP application in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

Download or read book Energy Transitions and Social Psychology written by Paul Upham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how social psychological concepts can be closely integrated with sociotechnical perspectives of energy transitions. It shows the value of actor-centred analysis that acknowledges the role of individual-level processes within their wider contexts of energy supply and use. In this way, the book connects social psychological and sociological frames of analysis, preserving the value of both, to provide multi-level, analytically extended accounts of energy transitions processes. Sociotechnical thinking is about the interactions of people and technology, including the rules, regulations and institutions involved. Such perspectives help to identify the many forms of path dependency that can make change difficult. Human behaviour plays a strong role in maintaining these path dependencies, but it can also introduce change. This book advocates a deliberately interdisciplinary research agenda that recognises the value of social psychological perspectives when seeking to create new pathways for energy supply and use. At the same time, it also demonstrates the value of sociotechnical perspectives for energy-related social psychology. Energy Transitions and Social Psychology will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy transitions, environmental and energy psychology, sustainable development and innovation studies, as well as students and scholars of environment and energy more generally.

Download or read book Study on Circular Design of the Fishing Gear for Reduction of Environmental Impacts written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project encapsulated 4 Tasks to comprehensively build an understanding of the challenges and solutions to the circular design of fishing gear, and advance recommendations for the development of guidance standards. These tasks firstly encapsulated a substantial literature review, stakeholder engagement and expert stakeholder workshop, to identify the existing challenges and solutions to development of circular design of fishing gears. This project then utilised these learnings to propose a range of draft recommendations for development of a guidance standard, examining potential logistic and technical issues that may facilitate or constrain the utility of such recommendations. This work then involved collating the main elements comprising these recommendations, and validated the utility of such elements. Lastly, this project provided final results, with particular attention to development of future recommendations on circular design of the fishing gear, including the framework to develop a request for guidance standards relating to the circular design of fishing gear. In addition, to aid the future development of guidance standards, this project also collates and assesses the range of future research and training needs.
