Ojczyzna prywatna i zrównoważony rozwój
2018
Od kilku lat obserwujemy renesans społeczności lokalnych - ojczyzn prywatnych, których rolę w życiu każdego człowieka trudno przecenić. To w nich kształtuje się tożsamość zarówno jednostkowa, jak i społeczna. Odradzanie się społeczności lokalnych w poważnym stopniu wiąże się z przeobrażeniami globalnymi, którym lokalności ulegają w różnym stopniu. Równocześnie w społecznościach lokalnych (ojczyznach prywatnych) dokonują się ważne zmiany społeczne, dzisiaj koncentrujące się w poważnym stopniu na wdrażaniu zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju. Prowadzi on, prosto rzecz ujmując, do pomnażania ludzkich wyborów przy zachowaniu harmonii ze środowiskiem przyrodniczym. Ważnym terminem staje się więc ekolog…
Attributions and paradoxes of agency in socially sustainable development : perspectives from small-scale NGOs in Jinja, Uganda
2014
During the past decades, sustainable development has become an important phenomenon in the global development discourse. The concept has been widely used by both large international bodies such as the United Nations as well as small grassroots organization. In the beginning, the interest was mainly in questions of environmental and ecological aspects of the concept but especially since the introduction of the Human Development Approach the importance of social and cultural aspects of sustainable development became more important. In the discussions on Human Development and sustainable development, the people are in the center of the discussion. Both concepts emphasize the importance of agen…
The Role of Parliament in Sustainable Development Goals: A Case Study of Southeast Asia in International Parliamentary Forums
2021
Parliament has its role in supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). SDG number 16 on peace, justice, and strong institution states one indicator of a legislative institution (for “responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative”, that the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) commits to achieve. However, parliament must support the government in achieving all SDG programs as stated in Agenda 2030. What is the role of parliament in this and how to achieve it? This paper aims to show that the role of parliament in SDG is beyond the traditional legislative role of legislating, budgeting and overseeing the government, but more on representing people, meaning channeling people’s voice a…
ANALYSIS OF THE TRADITIONAL PASSIVE SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF CFD SOFTWARE
2012
The need to reduce energy consumption is pushing the building design research to the evaluation of passive conditioning systems, since urban buildings are one of the major energy dissipater resulting in emission of CO2. This approach is not modern, but it is historically rooted in the architectural culture of the Mediterranean area and in the Middle East. The passive systems have ancient origins: they were developed to mitigate the summer heat and the winter cold. To understand the reasons that led to the development of passive systems, it should be remembered that about One-Fifth of the emerged planet surface and One-Third of the world's population live in conditions of warm-dry or hot-hum…
Coping Strategies against peer victimization: differences according to gender, grade, victimization status and perceived classroom social climate
2021
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include “Good Health and Well-being” (SDG3) and “Quality Education” (SDG4). Nevertheless, many students cannot achieve these goals if they suffer peer victimization at their schools, and intervention programs to reduce it are necessary. These programs should consider the possible differences in the coping strategies preferred by students according to some personal (e.g., gender, grade, victimization status) and contextual (e.g., perceived classroom social climate) factors to be more effective. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the possible differences in the coping strategies preferred by students (ask a friend for help, ask a tea…
Toward Sustainable PLA-Based Multilayer Complexes with Improved Barrier Properties
2019
Poly(lactic acid) or PLA is currently considered as one of the most promising substitutes of conventional plastics, with low environmental impact, especially for food packaging applications. Nevertheless, some drawbacks, such as high permeability to oxygen, are still limiting its industrial applications. The objective of this study was to highly increase the oxygen barrier performance of PLA without compromising its sustainable nature and following the principles of circular economy perspective. Coproducts coming from mill industries, such as wheat gluten proteins (WG), were used to produce PLA-WG-PLA multilayer complexes with improved barrier performance. Different technologies of industri…
Piesardzības principa statuss starptautiskajās vides tiesībās
2017
Piesardzības princips ir koncepts starptautiskajās vides tiesībās, kas ietver ideju, ka zinātniskā neskaidrība nav attaisnojums, lai veiktu darbības, kas kaitīgi ietekmē vidi. Tā statuss kā paražai starptautiskajās tiesībās joprojām tiek uztverts skeptiski, tāpēc darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai piesardzības princips ir šādu stausu ieguvis. Šī darba ietvaros tiks aplūkots normatīvais regulējums, tiesu prakse un valstu prakse, lai izpildītu darba uzdevumus- noteikt piesardzības principa definīciju, kā arī noteikt kāds ir opinio juris un valstu prakse attiecībā uz to. Autore uzskata, ka darba rezultātā ir noteicams, ka ir radusies paražu tiesībā attiecībā uz piesardzības principu.
Environmental Accounting in Colombia from the Perspective of Sustainable Development
2019
Resumen: A partir del interés por identificar los problemas y las perspectivas por las que la academia contable colombiana ha transitado en el campo de la contabilidad ambiental, el presente trabajo pro -pone realizar una revisión literaria conducente a una reflexión sobre las vertientes con las cuales se ha trabajado el tema en Colombia. Para tal efecto, se analizaron 56 textos identificados en 10 revistas colombianas de investigación contable, que fueron publicados en el periodo de 1996 a 2015. Esta revisión se erige a la luz de algunas consideraciones sobre el medio ambiente, la crisis ambiental y el desarrollo sostenible -en sus vertientes fuerte y débil-, que sirven para comprender el …
The Escazú Agreement and the Regional Approach to Rio Principle 10: Process, Innovation, and Shortcomings
2019
Abstract The adoption in 2018 of the Escazú Agreement by the countries of the Latin American and Caribbean region marks the second regional legal instrument aimed at the implementation of Principle 10 of the 1992 Rio Declaration, joining the Aarhus Convention of the pan-European region. The international community has settled upon the regional level as the appropriate means for implementing standards related to access to information, public participation, and access to justice in environmental matters. The appropriateness of the regional level is demonstrated by the differences and innovations found in the Escazú Agreement, in its scope and definitions, background principles, burden of proo…
Projektowane zmiany w regulacji prawnej planowania przestrzennego w Polsce w świetle Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu
2022
Artykuł przedstawia dyskutowane obecnie na świecie zagadnienia związane z pojawieniem się nowych instrumentów mających na celu zapewnienie zrównoważonego rozwoju w kontekście rozważanej obecnie reformy systemu planowania i zagospodarowania przestrzennego w Polsce. W Europie przedmiotem szczególnej uwagi jest wizja nowego paradygmatu rozwoju przewidziana w ramach Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu. Obejmuje on nie tylko kwestie związane z problematyką zmian klimatu (czy szerzej ochrony środowiska) czy też np. tak istotną obecnie samowystarczalność energetyczną Europy, ale też przewiduje konkretne instrumenty służące wdrażaniu nowej wizji rozwoju oraz wskazuje na konieczność rozszerzenia udziału sp…
