“Open Access” and “Professional Blogs” are receiving an enhanced attention and appreciation in a world where Social Media are becoming necessary and indispensable instruments for the Transfer-of-Knowledge. In this context, scientific and technical professional blogs are filling enormous gaps for effective dissemination of knowledge, in particular popularisation of the knowledge needed to promote sustainable socio-economic developments world over.

“Sustain-earth” will house all relevant Guest Bloggers with keen interests in all disciplines of “Sustainability” with associated activities to promote “Applied Sustainability” in all sectors and in all levels. A core of internationally distinguished and recognized Editorial Board will be built-up gradually.

GREEN POLITICS ANSWER TO GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES

The green ideology is a philosophy practiced and advocated for by a coalition of political leaders and activists, whose goal is to advocate for peace, security, unity, preservation of the environment and ecosystem for socio-economic development, all over the world. These political leaders and activists are called “The Greens”. The Green ideology rests on solidarity that can be expressed in three parts: Solidarity with all the people of the world; Solidarity with animals, nature and the ecological system; Solidarity with future generations. For more information on this Political Platform, please, visit:

The fact that the green ideology puts environmental responsibility at the same level like other development sectors, means that it provides the necessary political will to curb environmental degradation, which is more often lacking with conventional governments.

Emerging Sustainable Technologies are Directed Towards Coastal Regions

 

Increasing pressures on natural resources, in particular availability, accessibility and affordability of Water and Energy “WE”-resources, require Sustainable Management Policies that consider shaping and integrating Sustainable Technologies to meet the growing needs for large-scale and long-term transformation to New Sustainable Life-styles. Unlike, in ancient civilization where population settlements were created at/around fresh surface-water bodies, e.g. rivers, lakes and deltas, future settlements are likely to grow faster at coastal regions “Hydroponic Coastal Colonies” and non-traditional living areas with limited fresh-water resources. Agricultural production may not require land to the same extent as in traditional farm communities; modern technology will allow more Sustainable Cities to grow on coastal areas as well. However, climate change threats for increasing sea-water levels have to be taken in consideration, what we have learned from the past safety and protection measures are always part of any successful socio-economic developments. The future is bright by innovation and not by imitation.
