Abstract:
Abstract While it is also relevant to address the Earth crisis using reformist approaches, this article analyzes a worse-case scenario. It deals with a post-disaster scenario that looks for ways out of a deeper environmental crisis or disaster. But this does not mean a scenario of a total global apocalypse. It addresses the topic in four steps: first, by stressing an importance of post-disaster scenarios between a mere reform and a total collapse; second, by analyzing the Western historical dialectic of enlightenment and capitalism; third, by formulating the non-Western dialectic as well as that of human civilization; and fourth, by expressing a social philosophical background and environmental alternatives present in the Global South.

Abstract:
Environmental crisis has been recognized as a global phenomenon and has come at a level that veryendangers human life on earth. Environmental crisis is not a matter of a nation, race, religion, or group.It has been a common problem and requires global cooperation to overcome barriers regardless ofreligion and race. Within this framework, every religion and traditions required to contribute in jointactions to overcome the environmental crisis. This is so, because the efforts of political and secular laware considered no longer sufficient to resolve the tragedies of today’s ecological problem on earth.Therefore, this paper will explore the perspective of Environmental Fikih in the context of a globalmovement in overcome the environmental crisis.

Abstract:
The article discusses the impact of the pandemic on the strategic plans of Russian companies and the analysis of mechanisms for adjusting the company’s strategic plans in a pandemic to ensure their sustainable development. At the stage of a crisis, enterprises and managers can take measures to establish schemes for preventing or containing the consequences of a crisis or disaster (epidemics, terrorist attacks, economic crises). Firms are generally unable to stop a crisis, but can identify a crisis in a timely manner and apply coping strategies to reduce risks. Integration of well-established theories of crisis management provides valuable information and the development of an appropriate conceptual framework that is applied in the management of enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
Problems in the financial sector were at the core of the current economic crisis. Therefore, economic recovery will only become sustainable after taking care of the major weaknesses in the financial sector. This conclusion is relevant both for the US and UK - the two countries where crisis has started, and for other economies which financial institutions turned out to be fragile in the face of the swings in the risk appetite. Russia is one of the countries where the crisis has revealed serious deficiency in the financial sector. Our study of 11 banking crises during the last 25-30 years shows that sustainable economic recovery and decrease in the dependence on commodity prices will be virtually impossible without cleaning of balance sheets and capitalization of the financial sector.

Abstract:
Abstract The essay stages the law at the intersections between the humanities, technology, and the production of digital space. Interactions like these are relevant in the present age, where humankind is outcompeting natural resources and changing the earth. The Anthropocene is an epoch of environmental crisis; despite this, we turn such a crisis into a process of sublimation servient to the control of the earth. Blurring the divide between the digital and the human is functional to such a process. The strategic use of the law makes climate-change policies compatible with global markets. Assuming that manufacturing digital spaces is useful to this end, the essay focuses on multimedia games. Blending real-word performances with internet- and media-related contents, they are functional to sublimation, convincing us that we can tackle climate change without rearranging our economic paradigms.

Abstract:
Studies of global environmental politics have not paid much attention so far to the role and views of the international business community. This thesis seeks to analyse how the business community has approached global environmental issues as discussed at the so-called 'Earth Summits' in 1992 and 2002. The specific focus is to address the question of how the international environmental discourses of business have changed from one summit to another. Are there sufficient empirical grounds to suggest that business is progressing towards a unified and cohesive set of discursive themes and issues? The method used combines qualitative discourse analysis with quantitative content analysis. Combining the 'best of' these two approaches means that a more detailed and rigorous analysis of the content of a large amount of material can be undertaken. This is applied to compare the business discourse at the 1992 Rio and the 2002 Johannesburg Earth Summits. These are two of the key events in the formation of international environmental politics discourses and provide an excellent opportunity to examine the changing role of business over time. The empirical results of this work reveal some continuity, but also major changes within the discourses used by business actors at mega earth summits. There is a high level of continuity not only in the commitment to free market principles but also in the notion that embracing sustainable development is good for business. Looking at changes over time, among the key findings is that business appears increasingly willing to reach accommodation with environmental non-governmental organisations and is keen to overcome its traditionally defensive, reactive role, adopting a proactive approach to shaping the international environmental agenda. While the main elements of a new master business environmental discourse were formulated in 1992, the new approach only become dominant afterwards. By 2002, the discourse had not only been refined and extended, but it had also achieved a much higher level of consensus with the business community taking an active part in the Johannesburg summit. The thesis concludes by discussing the significance of these findings in our understanding of the environmental role of business within global environmental debates.

Chao, Eileen. "WWF's Earth Hour Campaign: ‘Global Village' or Eco-Imperialism?" Master's thesis, Faculty of Humanities, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/32207.

Abstract:
The rapid spread of digital information and communication technologies since the turn of the century has led to renewed debates about globalisation and the power of new media to connect users across national, political and cultural borders. Environmental campaigns like WWF's Earth Hour, which touts itself as “the world's largest grassroots movement for the environment,” often adopt a utopian view of globalisation that celebrates what Marshall McLuhan termed the ‘global village'. While this global ethos might be useful in engaging the publics in collective action, this article argues that the way Earth Hour and similar campaigns actively construct representations of a single global village overlooks the lived inequalities between and among peoples within this imagined community. This article explores this tension using a quantitative and qualitative mixed-methods approach that combines a semiotic analysis of the Earth Hour 2019 promotional video, social media analysis of the use of #Connect2Earth hashtag among South African Twitter users, and in-depth interviews with current and former WWF-South Africa employees. This strategic approach is designed to juxtapose socially constructed representations of Earth Hour with on-the-ground user engagement in South Africa, and then triangulating these findings with qualitative interviews. The dissertation aims to explore the research question: In what ways does WWF's Earth Hour embody Marshall McLuhan's ideal ‘global village' and in what ways might it engender a form of eco-imperialism? This research question is operationalised through three subquestions: What kind of environmentalism do global environmental campaigns like Earth Hour promote? How do audiences in South Africa engage with Earth Hour on social media? How do local WWF of ices adapt global environmental campaigns to suit local audiences? This research contributes to emerging scholarship, rooted in environmental justice and decolonial studies, that is critical of mainstream environmental movements not to discourage environmental consciousness but to ultimately reformulate it.

Abstract:
Economic downturns are known to affect the management of natural resources and the environment. Although statistics and industry figures have revealed some impacts of the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), its dynamics and long term consequences for forest management, particularly in the context of South America, are unknown. Using qualitative research methods, combining grounded theory and case study analysis, this research aimed to better understand how the GFC impacted sustainable forest management (SFM) in Brazil through the experiences and perceptions of highly knowledgeable stakeholders. This was done with a view to providing a more holistic and integrated perspective on the GFC and to inform future policy and management processes. Findings from this study indicate that the GFC interacted with other political, social and environmental phenomena to produce both negative and positive impacts on SFM in Brazil. Negative impacts included: 1) restrained production of forest-based products; 2) declines in exports; and 3) reduced investments in non-market driven socio-environmental projects. Conversely, opportunities associated with the GFC included: 1) realizing competitive advantages in the plantation sector; 2) restrained deforestation in the Amazon Basin resulting from increased risk aversion and a decline in timber demand; and 3) support for third-party forest certification to maintain access to risk-averse markets. Traditional forest-based communities that often operate within informal economies were not seen as being heavily impacted by the GFC. This study represents a first step towards improving our knowledge on the relationships between economic downturns and sustainable forest management in Brazil.
Les ralentissements de l'activité économique sont connus pour affecter la gestion des resources naturelles. Bien que les statistiques et les données du domaine industriel ont revélé certains impacts de la Crise Globale Économique (CGE), ca dynamique et conséquences à long terme pour la gestion des forêts, en particulier en Amérique du Sud, sont inconnus. En utilisant des méthodes de recherche qualitatives, tout en combinant la théorie enracinée et l'étude de cas, cette recherche a pour objectif de comprendre comment la CGE a affecté la gestion soutenable des forêts au Brésil, au travers des expériences et perceptions de dépositaire bien informés. Ces méthodes ont été choisi pour donner une approche plus holistique et pour intégrer les perceptions sur la CGE dans le but d'informer les politiques futures et les procédures de gestions. Cette recherche montre que la CGE a interagit avec d'autre phenomene politique, sociales et environementales pour produire des effets positifs et negatifs sur la gestion soutenable des forêts au Brésil. Les impacts négatifs incluent: 1) une production resserrée de produits dérivés des forêts; 2) déclins des exports; et 3) investissements reduits dans les projets socio-économiques non visé au marche. Réciproquement, les avantages associés avec la CGE incluent: 1) réaliser des avantages compétitifs dans le secteur de forêts plantées; 2) déforestation retenu dans le bassin de l'Amazone resultant de l'aversion au risque et de la baisse de demande de bois et 3) support de tiers pour la certification forestière pour mantenir l'accès au marche. Les communautés forestières traditionnelles qui opèrent des économies informalles n'ont pas été autant touché par la CGE. Cette étude représente une première étape afin d'améliorer notre connaissance sur les relations entre récession économiques et la gestion soutenable des forêts au Brésil.

Abstract:
Severe weather (SW) can have a huge impact on someone's life and property. Presently at Environment Canada (EC), there is no useful automated tool to help the forecasters in their SW forecast. The goal of this thesis was to develop a useful automated tool to help the SW forecasters in their SW predictions. A severe weather intensity (SWI) index was created from the 1-km Global Environmental Multiscale Limited Area Model (GEM-LAM) outputs. The GEM-LAM 1-km was run on summer days in 2008 and 2009 over Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. The dataset of summer 2009 was used to create algorithms that use the model's outputs to detect severe thunderstorm structural features, compute the quantity of the ingredients needed to initiate severe thunderstorms, and estimate the intensity and the type of SW expected. The post-processed fields were subjectively verified with the SW observations and radar images for the summer of 2009 leading to a decision tree for the SWI index for each region. An object-oriented method was used to verify the SWI index forecasts with the SW observations for the summer of 2008. The results showed that the SWI index forecast was very accurate over Ontario, accurate over Quebec, and much less accurate over Alberta. The lack of SW observations and the model's spin up mainly affected the results. Finally, the skill of the SWI index forecast was compared to the forecaster-derived SW forecast to verify if the index could help the SW forecasters to improve their SW forecast. The results indicate that the SWI index could improve the prediction of SW events, but not the positioning.
Le temps violent (TV) estival peut avoir un impact important sur la vie des gens et leurs biens. En ce moment, aucun outil n'est assez performant pour aider les prévisionnistes à prévoir le TV. Cette thèse a pour but de créer un outil automatisé pour aider les prévisionnistes dans leurs prévisions de TV d'été. Un indice d'intensité de TV à été créé à partir des données du modèle global environnemental à multiéchelles à aire limitée (GEM-LAM) avec une résolution horizontale de 1 km. Le GEM-LAM 1-km à été roulé pour tous les jours d'été 2008 et 2009 sur les régions de l'Alberta, le sud de l'Ontario et le sud du Québec. Les données de l'été 2009 ont été utilisées pour créer des algorithmes qui utilisent les sorties du modèle pour détecter les structures particulières aux orages violents, évaluer les quantités de plusieurs éléments nécessaires à la formation d'orages violents, et estimer l'intensité et le type de TV attendu. Les champs post-traités ont été subjectivement analysé avec les observations de TV et les images radar pour l'été 2009 permettant de bâtir un arbre de décision pour l'indice d'intensité de TV pour chaque région. Une méthode par objet a été utilisée pour faire une vérification des prévisions de l'indice d'intensité de TV avec les observations de TV pour l'été 2008. Les résultats montrent que la prévision de l'indice d'intensité de TV est très juste pour l'Ontario, est assez juste pour le Québec, mais l'ai beaucoup moins pour l'Alberta. Le faible nombre d'observations de TV et le temps d'ajustement du modèle affectent les résultats. Finalement, la précision de l'indice d'intensité de TV et celle de la prévision de TV émit par un prévisionniste ont été comparées de façon à vérifier si l'indice peut aider le prévisionniste à améliorer sa prévision. Les résultats démontrent que l'indice d'intensité de TV pourrait améliorer la prévision d'un évènement, mais pas son positionnement.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate efforts to transform global environmental change research through co-design and co-production (involving non-academic actors in research governance and conduct). Social scientific work to date on this topic has largely taken an evaluative perspective, outlining challenges of and guidelines for co-production on the ground. By contrast, there is little work on how co-production is conceptualised and put into practice through (international) research governance. Yet institutions aiming to govern research are significant arbiters of meaning and power; their efforts to change research are worthy of investigation. The thesis is based on a qualitative case study of Future Earth, a major international research initiative on global environmental change (GEC) and sustainability. Future Earth is unique in its ambition to internationally coordinate and co-design/co-produce new GEC/sustainability research at a global scale. The study is grounded in co-productionist, interpretive science and technology studies, drawing on ideas about political imaginaries of science and experimental approaches to engagement. It is based on thematic analysis of data from documents, interviews, focus groups and observation of Future Earth’s emergence and development between 2010 and 2015. The analysis suggests that visions of Future Earth were ambitious, diverse and sometimes ambiguous, evoking two potential institutional forms: a unified, cohesive ‘flagship’, or a ‘rich tapestry’ of varied initiatives. Ambiguity persisted in how co-production and related concepts were understood, with varying definitions motivated by different rationales for increased (or limited) involvement of non-academic stakeholders, from ensuring relevance to democratising expertise to preserving the objectivity or independence of science. These notions of appropriate engagement were underpinned by disparate conceptions of the value of research (as a service to society, site of democratic deliberation, or public good), reproducing (and challenging) established models of science and democracy. The thesis argues that, from an experimental perspective, this ambiguity in visions of (co-production in) Future Earth can be seen to enable flexibility and allow differences to co-exist. This might require new, perhaps radical, thinking about how to organise, conduct and value research and its outcomes, with an increased emphasis on fostering, appreciating and productively working with diversity and institutional indeterminacy.

Abstract:
AbstractIt is essential that we prepare tomorrow’s scientists, engineers, and communities to respond to the ongoing climate and environmental crises to plan for a sustainable future. Successfully addressing these needs requires contextualizing learning and using student-centered teaching practices that help learners construct an understanding of the world around them. For this reason, local phenomena can successfully anchor instructional storylines—coherent sequences of lessons that connect to students’ lives and engage them in synthesizing various scientific concepts to explain how the world works and why it changes through time. Students should reflect on how they are a part of the Earth system, and how individual and collective actions can address climate and environmental problems. These shifts in teaching practices are supported by tools developed by the Understanding Global Change (UGC) Project at the University of California Museum of Paleontology to investigate the causes, consequences, and solutions to the climate crisis.

Abstract:
AbstractThe exponential acceleration of the global environmental and climate crisis is becoming an imminent and dangerous existential threat to the sheer survival of humankind. The origins of this unique menacing predicament are deeply rooted in the culture developed in the cradle of European Modernity. It is a culture of utilitarianism, fuelled by an uncritical faith in the unlimited performance of technology in changing the material world. The essence of Modernity was a triumvirate—built upon the congruence between the sovereign State, the techno-science establishment, and the globalised market economy. This power-triangle commodified nature and created a pragmatic and operative fragmentary world culture that brought us to the crossroads we are now entangled in. As a result, International Law does not correctly address the prior theoretical structural problem of the existence of “global commons” that span across borders, or the intergenerational character of the concept of ‘humanity’. Global commons have always been understood only as geographical leftover territories outside political borders.Recognition of the intangible value of the ‘software’ of the Earth system and legal acknowledgement of a stable climate as a Common Heritage of Humankind will be the locus upon which an urgently needed system for management and permanent maintenance can be built, which will be essential to steer the Anthropocene wisely. This new space without enclosed territory should be the new object of global governance, and the seminal concept for a new culture of the global commons.

Abstract:
In the context of the global environmental crisis the development of new pedagogical models and teaching methods at the universities of Ukraine is aimed at the formation of socio-psychological competencies of future specialists as subjects of the implementation of the concept of sustainable development. The article presents the results of eco-psychological research of the level of formation of ecological thinking among engineering students. More than 300 students from three universities of Dnipro and Poltava have been interviewed. Based on the results of the study the authors propose an improved curriculum for the general educational discipline Human Ecology which includes interactive individual and collective tasks, lectures as discussions of various aspects of human interaction with nature in the "external environment-individual-internal environment" triad. It is also planned to introduce a special educational discipline Environmental Psychology to the educational program of bachelor�s training of engineering specialties. The content of the discipline is aimed at the formation of environmental awareness and environmental culture of students, taking into account the cultural identity of Ukraine. A program of practical classes in collaboration with the psychological service of the university has been developed. The program includes art methods as tools for educational, diagnostic and developmental work, including an educational project for Earth Day.

Abstract:
In the Anthropocene thesis, nature is partly a human creation. Human activity has affected all ecologic, geologic and bio-logical systems, eroding the boundary between human and non-human life and between nature and culture, producing catastrophic impacts on the Earth that have brought us to a point of climate crisis. As recent texts have argued, the current social and health crises are direct resultants of human actions dating back to the time of Western colonization. “[T]he familiar contrast between people and the natural world no longer holds. There is no more nature that stands apart from human beings. There is no place or living thing that we haven’t changed.”1 Human pollution of the global ecosystem has produced the climate crisis. As the pandemic of COVID-19 continues to show, the health of people, animals, ecosystems and the environment are intimately linked.2 The health crisis has also exposed weaknesses in our global supply chain network for consumer goods and accelerating conditions of food and energy insecurity. As city migration continues on its current trajectory, urban areas will face ever increasing demands for food and energy supplies.3 The separation of urban centers from their food sources threatens food security, produces pollution, and compromises healthy food supply by the need for preservatives to maintain freshness during transit. Localizing food and fuel production and storage for easy distribution is a key approach to addressing these issues, and indoor vertical farming and biofuel production is quickly gaining traction in urban centers like New York City. Water-based growing techniques like aquaculture, hydroponics and aquaponics can be grown in compact interior spaces without access to natural light, which is ideal for dense urban environments.

Abstract:
In the Anthropocene thesis, nature is partly a human creation. Human activity has affected all ecologic, geologic and biological systems, eroding the boundary between human and non-human life and between nature and culture, producing catastrophic impacts on the Earth that have brought us to a point of climate crisis. As recent texts have argued, the cur¬rent social and health crises are direct resultants of human actions dating back to the time of Western colonization. Human pollution of the global ecosystem has produced the climate crisis. As the pandemic of COVID-19 continues to show, the health of people, animals, ecosystems and the environment are intimately linked. The health crisis has also exposed weaknesses in our global supply chain network for consumer goods. Localizing food and fuel production and storage for easy distribution is a key approach to addressing issues of food and energy insecurity in this context. This graduate architecture studio project proposes additions to and reuse of existing urban infrastructure to locally situate small-scale food and energy production and storage facilities squarely within the dense urban fabric of major metropolitan areas as a retrofit embedded inside existing building fabric within the public realm. Seafood aquaculture, aquaponics, hydroponics, and algae farming processes produce high yields in relatively compact environments without the necessary access to light and space that typical crops require. Oyster aquaculture can produce food as well as seed for filtering oyster beds that are critical for the cleansing of polluted waterways. These programs also provide a source of jobs locally accessible to urban communities. Our test site for this project is a speculative mixed-use addition and alteration to abandoned industrial buildings in Brooklyn’s industrial waterfronts of Red Hook and Sunset Park proposing light manufacturing in combination with public programs. Anamorphic projection techniques in the design process produce specific orientations toward both human and non-human occupants.

Full text
Abstract:
Architecture and human-built structures are embedded with speciesist practices of domination over the environment, where humans are considered special and superior to other species. This (hu)man exceptionalism has driven architecture and the built environment to be conceived in opposition to ‘nature’, dominating natural terrains and consequently displacing or instrumentalizing the many other species who are given little to no ethical consideration. This way of intervening in the world is leading to the existential questions that must be posed given our global climate crisis. A reframing of human intervention as ‘built environment’ placed in opposition to the ‘natural environment’ of supposedly passive nature, is urgently needed. The motivation for this paper is rooted in a deep concern for the role of humans in the climate crisis and a realization that architecture as a discipline is complicit in elevating the human category above all other beings in nature. There are biases embedded in our practices and teaching of architecture that need to be interrogated and reflected upon, starting with our own education; the role models and ideals that we unwittingly operate within. To contextualize the idea of human exceptionalism in architecture, this paper will explore deep-seeded ideals in architecture linked to the concept of Rectitude1 as a form of ‘rightness’ -or correct- mode of intervening in the world, conceptualized by Western men as a human- centric practice distinct from nature-made. Supported by Ecofeminist2 thought, the aim is to open alternative models for world-building and housing humans on an earth living its sixth extinction.3

Abstract:
Occurring as a set of 17 chemical elements in the periodic table, rare earth elements such as neodymium are necessary for the development of mobile phones and magnet motors. Although securing rare earth elements is essential for economic growth of all nations, their demand is rapidly expanding among global powers such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Rare earth element deposits were discovered in the seafloor near hydrothermal vents in the 1980s. Japan has the sixth largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and is abundant in underwater natural resources such as a cobalt and a manganese mine. Because underwater exploration of rare earth elements was deemed unprofitable, the practice was suspended. Current advancements in underwater robotics, however, have led to economic viability in this venture. Such developments have resulted in the increased use of remote sensing with sonars on unmanned underwater vehicles. The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) developed a cruising autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) known as Urashima. This AUV performed its first sea trial in 2000, and cruise for 317 km without recharging or refueling in 2005 as a world record at the time. The first mission of Urashima was a vast sea exploration to investigate worldwide environmental crises such as global warming. However, the purpose of these missions has since then shifted primarily to the exploration of underwater natural resources. In addition, JAMSTEC developed a synthetic aperture sonar on a neutral buoyancy towfish in 2010. This underwater exploration system, known as Kyouryuu, scanned Wakamiko caldera at the sea bottom in Kagoshima Bay where volcanic activity was evident. Numerous hot-water flows from hydrothermal vents were clearly recorded. In addition, many dormant chimneys were detected. These features provide important data for estimating the distribution of hydrothermal vents and chimneys in addition to their transitions.

"Earth observation education for Zero Hunger: A Massive Open Online Course towards achieving SDG #2 using EO." In Symposium on Space Educational Activities (SSAE).

Abstract:
Persisting hunger and malnourishment continue to be a problem of global concern, which recent climate change, as well as environmental and socio-economic crises and their impacts along the food chain further exacerbate. Earth observation (EO) holds the capacity to deliver large temporal and spatial coverage information that allow for better decision-making in food production and distribution. Furthermore, the rapidly increasing amount of freely available data and tools potentially enable an expanding user community to bring this information into practice. However, more people need access to EO education to realize this potential. EO Connect (funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research) addresses this demand by developing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) towards the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: Zero Hunger. Since a conventional course can barely reflect the comprehensiveness of SDG #2 regarding both content and the people involved in achieving the goal, the Zero Hunger MOOC leverages modern learning approaches in a non-linear, adaptive learning environment to cater to a large audience and diverse target groups, and to their different scopes and levels of desired learning outcomes. The use of micro-content, drip-feeding and feedback-guided course development shall ensure maximum effectiveness. To accomplish this ambitious endeavour, the Zero Hunger MOOC is developed with a community of stakeholders from the realms of EO, education, information technology, and food security. It builds on contents from this community which are adapted, streamlined and assembled to course modules, as well as on the expertise from the over 20 contributing universities, space agencies, national institutions and international organizations. While the Zero Hunger MOOC contributes to bridging the gap between the available EO technology and its application to increase food security, it likewise promotes stronger stakeholder connection in EO education.

In 5th International Conference on Human Systems Engineering and Design: Future Trends and Applications (IHSED 2023). AHFE International, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1004148.

Abstract:
The Fashion industry is facing significant structural and systemic challenges that require a paradigm shift. According to Agamben, the resilience of complex systems is the response to the ability to adapt and evolve through the adoption of innovative and alternative approaches that are able to transfigure reality by overcoming apparent difficulties. The notion of intempestivity, in particular, assumes a critical role in building resilience based on innovation and sustainability. It is defined as a dynamic form that requires a constant process of reinvention, using apparent damage as an opportunity to evolve toward substantial improvement. Calamities, pandemic threats, food crises, destruction of ecosystems and cultural heritages are just some of the negative phenomena, in many ways dramatic, with which design, increasingly has to deal from a survival perspective, returning to "new basic needs," as well as offering solutions to improve the quality of human life. In Europe, economic growth, closely dependent on increased production and consumption of resources generates harmful effects on the environment, eroding biodiversity, and altering climate stability, health and human well-being. Current production and consumption models do not follow sustainability criteria, triggering irreversible phenomena that require urgent intervention strategies. Earth Overshoot Day signals the date when humanity has used all the biological resources that the Earth regenerates throughout the year. While dramatic, the event stirs the consciousness of individuals, about the limits of the Planet and its depleted resources. An often overlooked but significant contributor to the environmental emergency is the overproduction of clothing. According to the World Bank, the Fashion sector is responsible for 10 percent of annual global carbon emissions. Despite approaches in terms of recycling and reuse, globally 88 percent of recycling refers to polyester from bottles, with only 12 percent of recycled material coming from pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste; moreover, global production of sustainable materials is growing significantly, although there are still negative impacts due to resource leakage in processing. The European framework calls for more efficient management of textile waste, in relation to the development of circular processes in the relevant industry. The EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles calls for textiles to be free of harmful substances, durable, recyclable, and made with mandatory minimum amounts of recycled fibers by 2030; a generic statement that without specific objectives, results in non-compliant outcomes. The textile and apparel manufacturing sectors experience damage along the supply chain that needs a thorough investigation into production processes, shining a spotlight on the real possibilities of post-consumer recycling, from sorting to waste management, according to circular economy principles. From the complex relationship between raw materials, design and production practices and ecosystems, innovative solutions are determined by considering fragilities, environmental and social, to restore the balance. The paper brings together several case studies discussing the effectiveness of changing sectors through recycling and upcycling processes, circularity of materials, and reduction through textile waste valorization. Investigating the dynamics governing the post-consumer waste system, it reveals the effectiveness of upcycling processes in tracing models and conditions useful for sustainable transformation. The desired response of the textile/clothing sector transposes the paradigm shift between sustainable logic and the design perspective of recycling.

Abstract:
The Late Bronze Age Collapse, or the Crisis of Producers, is the definition for the process of the gradual decline of agricultural production in the states of the Fertile Crescent and Indus Valley regions, which culminated at the end of XIII-XII centuries BC. It was caused not by individual private mistakes, but by fundamental and irreparable defects in the then dominant system of agriculture in region mentioned. First of all, they were the widespread deforestation, overgrazing and salinization of arable lands as a result of excessive irrigation. This led to a catastrophic decline in their fertility and food shortages. The crisis of producers became the main reason for the death of largest states of those epoch (the First Babylonian Kingdom, Ancient Egypt, Harappa, etc.), which were at the forefront of the world civilizational progress, which delayed the technological and cultural development of the peoples of the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and South Asia, by at least for a millennium.

Full text
Abstract:
Global environmental change is increasingly at the forefront of national and international concern. As society seeks to understand and address the challenges related to global environmental change, the weather, water, and climate (WWC) enterprise will be an essential partner. This endeavor will influence the application of science, including the “translation” of science for various audiences and situations. Consequently, it will almost certainly require an expansion in the skills, personnel, knowledge, and training of the workforce. However, as the scope of global environmental change is broad and encompasses many sectors of society, the emerging needs within the workforce are accordingly complex and diverse. This American Meteorological Society (AMS) Policy Program study is the third of a series of workshop-based studies to help provide the foundational understanding that the WWC enterprise needs to meet future workforce challenges in Earth system observations and science. We first focus on the developing “climate workforce” as a key component of society’s response to global environmental change. While climate change is only one aspect of global environmental change, the application of climate knowledge is increasingly relevant throughout a large portion of the workforce in a variety of ways. As such, the term “climate workforce” is used broadly here to refer to numerous job positions that lie along a spectrum of familiarity with climate science.

Full text
Abstract:
There is a reasonable likelihood that that the next global economic crisis could threaten the future of democracy. The economic system is a complex, adaptive system (CAS) subject to “tipping points” when underlying stresses lead to crisis. Moreover, the economic system is nested within a number of other CAS; political, environmental and public health among others. Looking forward, recurrent negative supply shocks imply a dangerous future of higher real interest rates and debt distress leading to either deflation (private debt distress) or higher inflation (sovereign debt distress). Such problems could threaten democratic political systems that are already showing signs of significant stress themselves. The paper finishes with some reflections on policy alternatives.

Full text
Abstract:
Global migration has been increasing since the 1990s. People are forced to leave their homes in search of safety, a better livelihood, or for more economic opportunities. Environmental drivers of migration, such as land degradation, water pollution, or changing climate, are acting as stronger phenomena with time. As millions of people are exposed to multiple water crises, daily needs related to water quality, lack of provisioning, excess or shortage of water become vital for survival as well for livelihood support. In turn, the crisis can transform into conflict and act as a trigger for migration, both voluntary and forced, depending on the conditions. Current interventions related to migration, including funding to manage migration remain focused on response mechanisms, whereas an understanding of drivers or so-called ‘push factors’ of migration is limited. Accurate and well-documented evidence, as well as quantitative information on these phenomena, are either missing or under-reflected in the literature and policy discourse. The report aims to start unpacking relationships between water and migration. The data used in this Report are collected from available public sources and reviewed in the context of water and climate. A three-dimensional (3D) framework is outlined for water-related migration assessment. The framework may be useful to aggerate water-related causes and consequences of migration and interpret them in various socioecological, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical settings. A case study approach is adopted to illustrate the various applications of the framework to dynamics of migration in various geographic and hydrological scenarios. The case studies reflect on well-known examples of environmental and water degradation, but with a focus on displacement /migration and socioeconomic challenges that apply. The relevance of proxy measures such as the Global Conflict Risk Index, which helps quantify water and migration interconnections, is discussed in relation to geographic, political, environmental, and economic parameters. The narratives presented in the Report also point to the existing governance mechanisms on migration, stating that they are fragmented. The report examines global agreements, institutions, and policies on migration to provide an aggerated outlook as to how international and inter-agency cooperation agreements and policies either reflected or are missing on water and climate crises as direct or indirect triggers to migration. Concerning this, the new directives related to migration governance, i.e., the New York Declaration and the Global Compact for Migration, are discussed. The Report recommends an enhanced focus on migration as an adaptation strategy to maximize the interconnectedness with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It calls for the migration discourse to look beyond from a preventative and problematic approach to a perspective emphasizing migration as a contributor towards achieving sustainable development, particularly SDGs 5, 6, 13, and 16 that aim strengthening capacities related to water, gender, climate, and institutions. Overall, the synthesis offers a global overview of water and migration for researchers and professionals engaged in migration-related work. For international agencies and government organizations and policymakers dealing with the assessment of and response to migration, the report aims to support the work on migration assessment and the implementation of the SDGs. The Report may serve as a public good towards understanding the drivers, impacts, and challenges of migration, for designing long-term solutions and for advancing migration management capabilities through improved knowledge and a pitch for consensus-building.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the past three years, there has been a convergence of interest in the global farm and food system and its contributions to feeding the world’s population as well as to ensuring the environmental sustainability of the planet. The 2007/2008 commodity crisis underscored the vulnerability of the global food system to shocks from extreme weather events, energy and financial markets, as well as government interventions in the form of export bans and other measures designed to avoid domestic adjustment to global scarcity. We have learned that a “perfect storm” in which all these factors coincide can have a devastating impact on the world’s poor, as well as putting considerable pressure on the world’s natural resource base. As we look ahead to the middle of this century, will such commodity price spikes become more commonplace? Will the world’s agricultural resource base be up to the task of meeting the diverse demands being placed on it?

Abstract:
Since the 2019 and 2022 terrorist attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, El Paso, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, both mainstream media and scholarly interest in ecofascism have increased significantly. This policy brief will illustrate how the contemporary far- and extreme right are exploiting the climate crisis and reviving white supremacist environmentalism. Specifically, it will identify recurring linguistic patterns, which construct ecofascist grievances that link environmental degradation to ‘old’ conspiracy theories, such as ‘global Zionism’ or ‘white genocide’. It will also identify the eco-accelerationist solutions white supremacists propose to the climate crisis. The policy brief concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings for building resiliency to ecofascist radicalisation.

Abstract:
The Earth system and human health are inextricably linked. In this period of widespread and rapid global change, understanding the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of health, geoscience, and the Earth system (broadly termed “geohealth”) has taken on a new level of importance. Scientific discovery and innovation can play a key role in helping humanity understand and respond to environmental, technological, and societal drivers of global changes so as to enable security, prosperity, and positive health outcomes for all. This AMS Policy Program study synthesizes input from the AMS community on the various connections, gaps, and opportunities that currently exist at the geohealth interface. Through these community discussions this study identifies: 1) a set of critical throughlines for effective convergence in geohealth research, 2) overarching challenges that currently impede progress, and 3) potential solution areas where significant progress might be made quickly. The geohealth professionals contributing to this report covered a wide range of geohealth topics. In addition to identifying overarching challenges that impact most of all areas of the field, the contributors suggested more narrowly focused areas where rapid progress might be possible. The report includes these as examples that might foster productive new avenues for research funding, while recognizing that the rapid nature of this study meant that it could not be exhaustive in its coverage of the field and that a different set of contributors might have provided a much different set of examples.

Full text
Abstract:
The global economy has been facing a series of adverse shocks in recent years including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, high inflation, and interest rate shocks driven by global monetary policy normalization. The high cost of fossil fuels since 2021, moreover, has reminded the world that investment for clean energy projects has been severely inadequate due to limited implementation of climate policies and limited capital inflows to financing decarbonization efforts. While overdependence on fossil fuels might be inevitable currently, the world needs to accelerate transition to carbon neutrality and also begin to cope with nature capital stock and biodiversity losses, which are happening at an alarming pace. In particular, more financial support should be provided to emerging and developing economies (EMDEs) to help achieve climate and environmental goals and other sustainable development goals (SDGs). We give an overview of some innovative finance schemes applicable to EMDEs, including blended finance to mobilize more private capital to climate and environmental projects and debt-for-climate swaps (or debt-for-nature swaps), to provide de facto grants to small high-debt economies in exchange for climate projects (or nature protection). We also provide some suggestions for further actions through better coordination among donor and recipient nations led by G7 and G20 nations.

Full text
Abstract:
Record-breaking global temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events underline the threat posed by the climate crisis. The Amazonia rainforest is widely regarded as one of several key bulwarks against global warming and a transition to a low-carbon future. Yet the worlds largest tropical forest is experiencing intense ecological degradation due to intensive cattle ranching, large-scale farming, unstainable mining, and a constellation of illegal activities. A paradigm shift is required in the economic model for the Amazonia and the people who live there. Put simply, it is critical that a higher value is attached to preserving a standing forest than one that is cleared. Bioeconomy offers a viable alternative precisely because of how it incentivizes ecological conservation while simultaneously generating economic opportunities based on the sustainable management of diverse natural resources. There is no unified or shared definition of bioeconomy in the Amazonia. In North America and Western Europe, most definitions tend to emphasize economic growth and market competition with a particular focus on biotechnology to reconcile economic growth with environmental sustainability. Given that most resources available to support the development of the bioeconomy are aligned with interpretations from the Global North,“semantic asymmetries” between funders and countries and entrepreneurs in the Global South could impede access to vital investment, funding and support. Indeed, definitions exported from upper-income settings may not be fully commensurate or appropriate to regions such as the Amazonia, home to over 40 million residents. Amazonias immense biodiversity and the presence of over 400 separate indigenous and other traditional communities, many of whom depend on its resources for livelihoods and subsistence, underline the imperative of localized approaches to understanding bioeconomy and capitalizing on its potential.
