Interpreting the Sustainable Development Goals through the Perspectives of Utopia and Governance
2021
The article analyses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the perspective of their self-understanding of political sense expressed in key SDG documents, including both UN documents and reports produced by individual countries. Utopia and governance are presented as ideal-typical approaches and analytical tools for qualitative content analysis. This approach is argued to be particularly illuminating in the case of politics of international development, as international development is simultaneously highly utopian and deeply embedded in rationalities of governance. As this analytical framework is applied to the SDGs, it is shown that their utopian pronouncements are related to the id…

La atención a la situación del mundo en la educación científica
2021
Protagonizamos en la actualidad una epoca de profundas y aceleradas transformaciones que, unida a una multiplicidad de problemas medioambientales y sociales cuyos efectos vienen agravandose a nivel planetario, ha convertido la "situacion del mundo" en objeto directo de preocupacion. En la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo, celebrada en Rio de Janeiro en 1992 y conocida como Primera Cumbre de la Tierra, se reclamo una decidida accion de los educadores, de todas las areas, para que los ciudadanos y ciudadanas adquieran una correcta percepcion de cual es esa situacion y puedan participar en la toma de decisiones fundamentadas. Un primer proposito de esta inve…
The impractical supremacy of the local identity on the worthless soils of Mappano
2016
Introduction Soil is under pressure worldwide. In Italy, in the last two decades, land consumption has reached an average rate of 8 m2, demonstrating the failure of urban planning in controlling these phenomena. Despite the renewed recognition of the central role of soil resources, which has triggered numerous initiatives and actions, soil resources are still seen as a second-tier priority. No governance body exists to coordinate initiatives to ensure that soils are appropriately represented in decision-making processes. Global Soil Partnership draws our attention to the need for coordination to avoid fragmentation of efforts and wastage of resources. Both at a global and at a local level, …

Kształtowanie się ustroju II Rzeczpospolitej w aspekcie zrównoważonego rozwoju
2018
W artykule przedstawiono proces kształtowania się ustroju II Rzeczpo-spolitej i pokładanych nadziei na zrównoważony rozwój kraju. Zarysowano tradycjępolskiego parlamentaryzmu i wskazano na jego odrębność względem parlamentary-zmów innych krajów europejskich. Do tradycji tej usiłowało nawiązać odradzające siępo zaborach państwo polskie, przystosowując ją do struktury prawnej nowożytnego państwa liberalno-demokratycznego. Wejście II Rzeczpospolitej do grona państw po-siadających liberalno-demokratyczną konstytucję nie oznaczało, automatycznego za warstwą prawną, przeniesienia struktury społecznej, ekonomicznej i mentalnej. W centrum rozważań znalazła się także Konstytucja Marcowa oraz relacje…
Sustainable development goals research in higher education institutions: An interdisciplinarity assessment through an entropy-based indicator
2022
Since 2015, the United Nations has urged higher education institutions (HEIs) to adopt an interdisciplinary approach towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In other words, universities are encouraged to transcend any single disciplinary perspective in exploring sustainable development issues. This study examines the importance of driving the scientific production of HEIs towards the SDGs as a concrete institutional contribution to sustainable development. While bibliometric tools for the SDGs are currently emerging, the existing models have not focused on interdisciplinarity or on their usefulness as decision-management tools to drive SDG-related research at a micro-scale (i.e. t…
Balancing food waste and sustainability goals in online food delivery: Towards a comprehensive conceptual framework
2022
Increasing food waste is a major threat to sustainability and food security. Recognizing the issue, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 mandates reducing global food waste by 50 percent by 2030. This situation has also given impetus to academic research on consumer food waste in both household and out-of-home settings. However, food delivery apps (FDAs) remain under-researched from this perspective. This is a serious gap because operating under a business model that inherently facilitates food over-ordering, FDAs can be a major source of food waste. Understanding the demand-side factors that drive consumers to order more food than required to satiate their hunger can be…

Human Simulation and Sustainability : Ontological, Epistemological, and Ethical Reflections
2020
This article begins with a brief outline of recent advances in the application of computer modeling to sustainability research, identifying important gaps in coverage and associated limits in methodological capability, particularly in regard to taking account of the tangled human factors that are often impediments to a sustainable future. It then describes some of the ways in which a new transdisciplinary approach within &ldquo
