This document provides an overview of a workshop focused on achieving sustainable development and implementing related internationally agreed goals and commitments. It discusses some potential stumbling blocks that can prevent meaningful dialogue and peacemaking, such as fighting over words without understanding meanings, failing to consider different values and perspectives, and issues related to globalization and modern communication. It also references proposals made to the UN Economic and Social Council and the Anna Lindh Foundation regarding transcultural dialogue and reconciliation efforts.

Abstract
Both process technologies and product technologies are used in the production of anthropic space: for this they are placed in the disciplinary context of ecology applied to urban planning. The apparatus of definition of sustainability theory and of urban planning practice will be influenced not only with respect to general issues such as carrying capacity and sustainability, urban metabolism, ecological footprint and quality of the built environment, but also with respect to the specifics of the main physical and geological aspects, and overall the risk reduction during earthquakes.
Luca Marescotti
From the “little but complex” urban issues
(it was a local issue just until a few decades ago)
to a bigger and more complex environmental problem
(now, it is a global issue): systemic properties; cross-disciplinary knowledge; cross-scaling problems and cross scaling planning
L’urbanistica è vista troppo spesso come una pratica negativa, un elemento di appesantimento burocratico, un laccio alla libera iniziativa, anche perché in Italia, ma non solo in Italia, mischiata a una politica di basso livello, a corruzione, a arbitrio. In contraccambio, altrettanto spesso è presentata come laboratorio di idee per la città del futuro, capace di dare un senso al progetto di nuovi spazi, di essere strumento efficiente per la trasformazione dei luoghi, per la riqualificazione di aree degradate. Raramente, troppo raramente, il presupposto è trattare l'urbanistica come una scienza normale. Da qui bisogna iniziare!

Disruptive Ideas: Public Intellectuals and their Arguments for Action on Clim...Matthew Nisbet
March 27, 2014 presentation sponsored by the Science and Technology Studies Program, Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, and the School of Journalism at the University of British Columbia.
In this presentation, I review three distinct groups of prominent public intellectuals arguing for action on climate change. I discuss how these individuals establish and maintain their authority, how their ideas and arguments spread and diffuse by way of the media, and how they shape the assumptions of global networks of activists, philanthropists, journalists, and academics. Then, for each group, drawing on their main works, I describe how they define the social implications of climate change and the barriers to addressing the problem, their vision of a future society and their favored policy actions, their outlook on nature and technology, and their views on politics and social change. In the conclusion, I discuss the need for investment in media and public forums that strengthen our civic capacity to learn, debate, and collaborate in ways that take advantage of different discourses, ideas and voices.
The workshop was organised as part of the Climate KIC Innovation Festival 2014. Following the success of the workshop, we felt we should promote the activities & use social media to stay connected. It is our focus to provide a clear message for us, others & countries in time for COP21, Paris 2015, the Earth Summit.

Academic Board member of the International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics
The paper / presentation explores the fate of concrete solutions to introduce a combination of Solution Spaces in times of exploding Problem Spaces.
Innovative presentation and conceptualization methods were introduced at the ‘Communication Camp’ organized at the WFSF conference in Turku in 1993 and covered in the newsletter ‘Knowledge Spiral’ of the Youth and in the Finish weekly „HELSINGIN SANOMAT“.
These new communication methods have since been widely used and therefore we can now reflect on their successes, challenges, and possibilities for further use.
The key concepts included:
a) Open-Forum/Open-Space: a ‘Magic Roundtable’ conversation method which has led to online dialogues as well as ‘live encounters’, to encourage empathy in communication, as well as multi-track diplomacy and peacemaking efforts for community building.
b) Cognitive Panorama: Immersive spaces, externally oriented workspaces of the mind for spacial Erörterungen (deliberations and encounters) for an extra shared overview.
The session will revisit the 10 theses from 24 years ago: “our view of life is too flat”, will try to expand the themes, introduces “Out of the Box thinking and Paradigm-mapping” seminars, and critically review developments, looking back and forward.
We will discuss democracy, education, the future of the media, as well as the need to revisit the intersection of systems and models, imagination and shared augmented virtual realities, complexity and perplexity, signs and senses, concepts/signs and percepts/senses, ethics and policy-making.

Structured Dialogic Design and Deliberations: looking back 40 years, announcing the new publication: STRATEGIC ARTICULATION OF ACTIONS TO COPE WITH THE HUGE CHALLENGES OF OUR WORLD TODAY, and discussing future potentials for tackling highly complex challenges, creating policy options, and socio-cultural cohesion across scales and media.
The world community is struggling with not only an ecological crisis, but a change in personal attitudes and values, a crisis of our life-styles and mind-sets. Policymakers and Individuals did not adapt to the rapid changes on this planet the last 100 years, The Problematique and that an exploding “problem space” requires new “solution spaces”, new forms of dialog and deliberation, capacity building, and forms to communicate, deliberate, share and mediate when shared solutions ask for finding ways beyond the need to agree, but settle issues in view of the greater good and including the minority position. (Introduction and “historical orientation” (Heiner Benking).
After a look at the early reports of the Club of Rome 1968-1970, Stockholm 1972, the workshop will revisit progress in “social system design”, community problem solving and peace mediation, multi-track peace-making and diplomacy, and introduce the method of Structured Dialogic Design (SDD) Maria Kakoulaki, Yiannis Laouris, possibly Peter Jones.
Central part is the introduction of the new publication: STRATEGIC ARTICULATION OF ACTIONS TO COPE WITH THE HUGE CHALLENGES OF OUR WORLD TODAY by Reynaldo Treviño-Cisneros. The outcomes of the SDD process to the 15 Challenges to Humanity of the Millennium Project will be presented, and possible implications for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (since Rio 2012 on the international agenda, and what that means for our ability to cope with our Predicament. Followed by a discussion with Peter Jones and Heiner Benking about new approaches to policy-making and deliberation methods and fora in large, distributed groups. Possible interventions any time by Alexander Christakis, Walter Bogan, Ken Bausch, Peter Jones and other invited collaborators.
Summing up: A final round is planned about the challenges and impact of modern media and the recent project of Re-inventing Democracy. The workshop will be concluded by questions by the participants and a final round by the speakers.

The Problems:
• Orientation - missing values, perspectives, proportions and consequences
Poor metaphors - focussing on just one monocultural framework
• Misguided perspectives - the perspectives that do exist are not based on
global knowledge, but on group centered and local experiences
• Regions and Nations caught in stalemate misinterpreting the reasons for other
groups' opinions blocks at a very basic level any chance of forward movement.

Roundtable learning from experience during the last 40 years and new ideas
Stumbling blocks preventing true dialog, peace-making, and reconciliation:
1) we fight over words but do not check the meaning,
2) we do not question and compare the values attached to statements and
attitudes,
3) we do not contextualize and embody concepts and meaning, do not check the
sectors, regions, scales, proportions and consequences of alternative actions,
4) we do not give voice, empower, listen, cherish and cultivate difference or
variety in dialog and decision making,
5) Disorientation and dumbing-down in Cyberculture and a mis-administered and
misunderstood, intangible “Globalisation / Glocalisation”: Where we get
overloaded by communication noise (sign/symbol melange) and media
demagogy which means: no trust and fidelity in the statements and no ways and
means to check the credibility and impact/relevance, and get lost between the
scales, brackets, and sectors.
6) The above incompatibility and incomparability opens the door for over-claims
and oversimplifications. Leaders use intangible jargon (plastic-words), neglect
impacts and avoid instead of exploring differences and alternatives.

I could have also called this UIA guest page GLOBAL CHANGE or LOCAL AND GLOBAL CHANGE - as my work started about
global environmental issues in 1988 with such wide and universal themes. Only because I was involved in two or more projects at that time,
and have a certain background which was about preparing and documenting decisions and presenting results, I was able to make the bridge,
combine what normally is not seen as one - or in one solution. As both project concepts are not only of wider interest and unique in their
approach, specially in their time we are proposing here to follow each background independently and then join in again the flow of events.
HARMONIZATION GLOBAL CHANGE
The first and most central entry points have been around The other started with the GLOBAL CHANGE conference 1988 in
a G7 and SRU German Environmental experts initiative Moskow.
which was taken up by the UN- Environment Programme Germany and other countries had been invited to present
UNEP - HEM. „Challenges to Science and Politics“ in form of Conferences and
Exhibitions. As I was invited to contribute I had to think anew on
how such complex Issues could be communicated to the broader
public, raising awareness and consciousness, and being correct and
helpful for scientists, politicians, and industry at the same time. I
go public now 1998 as after having this touring exhibition 8 years
in Germany, but never been shown outside Germany, and being
updated and in high demand, there is high danger of losing this
piece and milestone. Politics look east and local when the
exhibition was opened in May 1990. The result we have no public
eye and information about the exhibition, its scope and results. As
this is fatal in my view, I fee I have to change and address that.

Memo to Eugene Mirman
http://www.grist.org/article/2009-12-03-how-to-explain-copenhagen-to-a-comedian
Photo illustration / iStock images
Comedian Eugene Mirman is going to Copenhagen for Grist to cover the international climate talks.
Eugene is a fairly well-informed guy (he at least scans Google News looking for reviews of his
latest album), but he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t live, eat, and smoke climate policy.
At his request, the Grist staff threw together a basic cheat sheet on Copenhagen. It’s overly simplistic. It
avoids lots of important details. It’s probably offensive. In short, it’s just enough to help Eugene feign
cluefulness when he’s accosting world leaders in Denmark.

These quests to master new knowledge owe much to systems theory, "chaos theory" (a
seemingly contradictory combination of terms), complexity, [77] and developments in neural
networks, whereby systematic treatments of apparently random forms bring unexpected
patterns of order.
What makes these trends the more significant is that thinkers concerned with the
systematization of intellect, such as Guilford, have intuitively sought to link units, classes,
relations, systems, etc. with products and operations (figure 12). Cf. the work of Heiner
Benking.
