The Industrial Corridor’s environmental issues: the case of Gujaratdacoit
The document examines some environmental issues raised by the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor project in India. It focuses on the case of Gujarat, which has experienced partial loss of governability and difficulties planning, controlling, organizing and managing social and environmental responsibilities due to extensive industrial development. The document also discusses perspectives for improving sustainability through shifts in thinking regarding technology, sustainability, ethics and governance.
This presentation is one that I have been giving regularly to academic groups, corporate executivs, and at conferences.
the basic message is that we need to change systems. That if we agree sustainability is a goal, we need to develop solutions to problems.
It has to be more than hurdle rates, and for scale to occur we must begin understanding the needs and motives of different countries, groups, corporations, and citizens.
The document summarizes the findings of a real-time Delphi survey and scenario workshop regarding future low-carbon societies in Asia-Pacific beyond 2050. The survey and workshop engaged international experts who identified key trends and events, and their level of agreement on the feasibility and desirability of various statements. While experts were optimistic about technologies to improve healthcare and energy efficiency, they had doubts about carbon capture and widespread algae fuel. They also foresaw conflicts from climate migration and water scarcity.
This document discusses sustainable engineering and transportation. Sustainable engineering aims to maximize social benefits and minimize environmental impacts. It considers issues like community effects, economic activities, and environmental contamination. In contrast, traditional engineering focuses on performance and costs. The document provides examples of how sustainable engineering would design computer infrastructure differently by considering electricity usage and recycling. It also discusses how transportation accounts for a significant portion of energy consumption and emissions. Green transportation prioritizes public transit, cycling, walking and aims to reduce these environmental impacts.

1) Aephoria.net is a pioneer sustainable business incubation program that has trained 90 teams and incubated 32 startups over 4 years using a triple bottom line approach.
2) The document discusses blue economy and opportunities in sectors like maritime transport, aquaculture, offshore oil and gas, and more. It highlights opportunities in Greece like tourism and developing small businesses in Piraeus.
3) BlueGrowth is Aephoria.net's program that inspires entrepreneurs in the maritime sector through funding, incubation, and networking opportunities. It has helped launch 30 startups since 2014 that have created 65 jobs.
1) The document discusses the need for open innovation and collaboration to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future through disruptive clean technologies.
2) It argues that distributed models of innovation involving global networks are needed to develop technologies like smart grids and engage the public.
3) Universities can play a key role by facilitating collaborations between partners from industry, government, and other sectors.
The document discusses envisioning the future city from a city planning perspective. It begins by outlining worldwide megatrends like population growth, increased urbanization, and declining fossil fuels that present challenges for future cities. It then describes six essential components of the future city: efficient renewable energy; sustainable housing and buildings; efficient real-time communication; sustainable mobility; waste and resource management; and ensured high livability. The document concludes by examining factors and approaches needed to implement these components and establish values like health, availability of goods/services, and economic stability in future cities.
The document outlines different principles of solid waste management, including the polluter pays principle (PPP). The PPP proposes that those who produce pollution should bear the costs of managing it to prevent damage to the environment. The document discusses applications of the PPP in solid waste management through economic instruments like waste tariffs and fees. These charge waste producers like households and industries for waste collection and disposal. The document also compares the PPP to pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) schemes, which charge residents based on the amount and type of waste generated. Both approaches have advantages in encouraging waste reduction but also limitations.
The document discusses several concepts related to green innovation and entrepreneurship including:
1) Sustainable entrepreneurship aims to balance rationalism, naturalism, and humanism for sustainable development.
2) Cradle to cradle product design aims to create continuous cycles of biological and technical nutrients to eliminate waste.
3) Industrial ecology facilitates communication between different groups to better integrate environmental concerns into economic activities.
This document discusses strategies for accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. It makes the following key points:
1) The global energy transition has reached a tipping point, as indicated by coal plants being phased out, economic growth decoupling from CO2 emissions, and renewable energy becoming cheaper than fossil fuels in many places.
2) A transition involves fundamental changes to structures, culture, and practices, and represents a power shift from the incumbent regime to emerging alternatives. Governance is needed to create spaces for innovation to emerge and empower new niches.
3) Examples of transition governance include the Netherlands' approach of establishing long-term visions and networks of transition experiments across different domains like energy,

The intersection of corporate sustainability and city sustainability is both exciting and relatively unexplored so far. It carries a lot of potential for mutually-beneficial public-private partnerships, though it requires deep understanding of city residents' responsiveness to various issues in order to design successful forms of engagement. This presentation will share research that New York City has done on the potential for engaging residents on a number of sustainability issues, as well as resulting insights into appealing messaging and media strategies. An hour-long afternoon discussion session will then build on these insights and focus specifically on tips for structuring effective city-company partnerships.
Polluters have to pay for the environmental damages that they create. Different methods to internalise the external costs of pollution are discussed here.
On the Importance of Technology Foresight for the future of energy by Professor Sirkka Heinonen, Finland Futures Research Centre, University of Turku, at Millennium Meet-up
Technology has brought both benefits like efficient production but also problems for the environment like increased greenhouse gas emissions from industry and transportation. This has led to issues such as global warming, loss of biodiversity, and melting polar ice caps. However, technology can also help the environment through alternatives to pollutants, clean energy, recycling, and more energy efficient appliances and vehicles. The document argues that making wise policy choices about technology use can help secure a better environmental future.
Cleantech towards Consumer Adoption - Crossing the chasm to mainstreamSamantha Le Royal
This document discusses barriers to mainstream adoption of cleantech solutions and products. It explores various behavioral biases that influence consumer decision making, such as preferring immediate gratification over long term benefits, reluctance to adopt unfamiliar solutions, and desiring to fit in with social norms. The document argues that price alone will not drive mass adoption and that cleantech producers need a better understanding of consumer psychology to design products that appeal to mainstream values and desires. Social factors like peer influence and creating a sense of normalcy around sustainable options are important to overcome behavioral biases and mainstream cleantech.
Circular Economies Case Studies - Softmatter VenturesAishah Avdiu
One of the most impactful ways to deploy capital is to direct investment toward disruptive technologies which reduce waste. In this white paper, we explore case study startups in waste-to-energy, consumer software, and bio-fabrication industries and their potential to continue the path toward total sustainability.

Community Commerce Centers provide a workplace environment where office workers from multiple employers can work within a 3-5 mile radius of their homes. They would be located in existing vacant buildings like shopping centers or office parks. Workers would be provided dedicated workspaces, computers, internet access, and on-site amenities. This allows workers to significantly reduce their commutes while employers can access workforces across several centers near where employees live. It could help reduce traffic and greenhouse gas emissions from commuting while spurring local economic development.

This document discusses the relationship between science, technology, and public policy. It makes several key points:
1) Science and technology underpin public policy and our understanding of the natural world. All policies are based on assumptions about nature that are constantly evolving.
2) The role of science and technology in policymaking on issues like the environment, health, and defense is essential. However, technology innovates rapidly while policy aims to regulate and control.
3) Crafting effective public policy requires balancing technological expertise with an understanding of social issues and policy tradeoffs. Policymakers must include technology experts in the process.

This is a presentation given by Aitor Somers, consultant at Duval Union Consulting and expert in mobility. This slide deck gives a more thorough insight on the symbiosis between the mobility of the future and other societal, demographical and economic changes on a holistic level.
The document discusses future trends that could reshape mobility, work, and living. It identifies five trends that could decrease the need to move: decentralization enabled by technology, growing urban populations resisting cars, different mobility needs of new generations, and urban planners rethinking circular living. A scenario is presented where people may move less due to local integration of work, education and entertainment, and move more efficiently through shared, electric and autonomous transportation networks. Realizing this future requires collaboration between governments, consumers and companies to implement new models and overcome challenges from disruption.

The document discusses how technological revolutions drive periods of major development and change in society every few decades. Each revolution establishes a new "techno-economic paradigm" that transforms the economy and ways of living. Modernizing government is crucial to fully deploying new technologies for growth and social progress during periods of installation and deployment. The current paradigm centered around ICT brings challenges like globalization that require redesigning government to function as a flexible, networked organization.
The widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles will revolutionize transportation systems. This will blur the boundaries between private and public transportation. Autonomous vehicles will change how people travel, offering advantages like greater safety and lower costs. Introducing a fully autonomous vehicle fleet in Vienna would result in significant emissions savings and stabilize mobility costs, though upfront costs may be higher than conventional vehicles. A key challenge will be managing the potential increase in energy consumption and "rebound effect" from changes in mobility behaviors. Assessing new transportation technologies in the future must consider concerns about impacts to the environment, technical risks, and overall ecosystem balance.

The document discusses several issues facing major cities like Beijing and proposes solutions. It addresses problems like pollution from industry, overcrowded transportation systems, high population density leading to increased costs of living and poverty. It argues that good governance requires citizen participation in decision making, transparency, and following rule of law. Letting citizens engage in the process can help address transportation and environmental challenges more effectively.

The document summarizes proposals from the OECD Working Group on 'Walking, Urban Space and Health' to encourage walking in urban areas. The proposals aim to provide governments with recommendations to implement policies that view walking as essential to urban mobility and public health. Specifically, the proposals focus on analyzing pedestrian needs, measures to promote walking, and transforming urban spaces from car-centric to people-centric through urban planning and design. The ultimate goal is to create livable, healthy and safe urban environments where walking and socializing are a pleasure rather than a burden.

The document discusses sustainable urban transport and improving quality of life in cities. It notes that rapid motorization has negatively impacted cities economically, environmentally, and socially. The main problems are listed as energy consumption, emissions, safety issues, congestion, and social exclusion. Solutions proposed include improving transport efficiency, shifting modes to public transit and non-motorized options like walking and cycling, and reducing or avoiding travel. Examples given of successful cities emphasize high quality public transit integrated with land use planning and policies supporting alternatives to private vehicles.
This document provides an overview of the future of mobility in the UK transport system. It examines current trends like declining individual travel but rising total distances traveled. New technologies like automation and electrification are bringing changes. The report develops four scenarios for 2040: Trends Unmodified assumes incremental change; Technology Unleashed has an unconstrained rollout of tech; Individual Freedoms has constraints on data use; and Greener Communities orients changes toward social and environmental benefits. It aims to help policymakers anticipate challenges and opportunities from these uncertain future changes.
Trendlab Telco Report 2013/14 - Global Trends and Challenges for Companies an...Sasserath Munzinger Plus
The TrendLab Telco Report 2013/14 is about a major development in the telco industry, and a huge opportunity in terms of innovation for telco companies, we call it “Liberation”.
The report is centred around three core consumer benefits that derive from that “Liberation”: EASE, JOY & POWER.
EASE will be about a ‘new era of contracts and tariffs’, ‘enriched’ access, and the mobility of services across geographical and technological borders.
JOY will be about ‘experiencing’ the net (4G/ fiber), about ‘unlimited’ entertainment through content partnerships and content- related branding strategies, and new credit and currency systems created by telco companies.
POWER will be about the empowerment of people and businesses through knowledge, technology, influence and reach.
Within each of these three chapters, the report will feature innovative tariffs, products and services, new patterns in communications and advertising, interesting organisational changes, promising partnerships with players from different industries and incubation programmes.
BACKGROUND
The net is more important for our everyday lives than ever before and the demand for services across devices, manufacturers and industries is growing rapidly.
The urge for freedom by consumers is opposed to the need of monetization by telco companies: people increasingly want to use the net and digital services, however, they are not willing to get locked into proprietary systems and contracts.
There is a historical chance for Telco companies to regain relevance and strength: Thanks to their access to millions of people, their technological expertise and most of all their independence as providers of infrastructure (rather than technology or devices), they are predestined for pushing the development of a new, open (!) ecosystem of digital services.
Those brands who succeed in delivering services and products that make peoples’ lives easier, more enjoyable and beyond that help them realize their dreams, will grow sustainably and will matter in the digital world of tomorrow.
1) The mobility sector is undergoing transformation due to new political goals around sustainability, digital innovations, and new business models. This requires greater citizen engagement in development and more agile structures and leadership in organizations.
2) Smart mobility solutions will require integrating various transportation services along complex customer journeys, and involving citizens early in product design through methods like design thinking.
3) Public administrators and transportation companies will need more agile structures and leadership to navigate complex, fast-changing mobility demands and integrate diverse new services. Moving to cross-functional teams that incorporate frequent citizen feedback can help meet these challenges.
Grand opening building transport infrastructure to fuel europe's economic eng...European Commission
Digitalization is transforming the transportation sector and how people live their lives. As digital technologies connect goods, people, vehicles and infrastructure through data, there are huge opportunities to improve efficiency, tackle issues like climate change and traffic congestion, and develop new mobility services. However, the challenges are also significant as vehicle numbers are projected to double within 10 years. To take advantage of new technologies while managing these challenges, governments must provide a clear vision, experiment with bold solutions, ensure open data and interfaces, and foster public-private partnerships between all stakeholders to create integrated mobility ecosystems.

Here are some potential disadvantages of bicycling:
- Increased risk of injury. Bicyclists face risks from accidents with vehicles. Overuse can also lead to injuries like back pain.
- Exposure to weather elements. Riders have no protection from rain, wind, heat or cold compared to motorized vehicles.
- Limited cargo capacity. Bicycles have small baskets or racks but cannot transport large or heavy loads like a car or truck.
- Lack of long-distance options. While feasible for short trips, bicycling is not practical for very long distances due to fatigue.
- Infrastructure requirements. Dedicated bike lanes, paths and parking are needed to make cycling safe and convenient.
This document discusses mobility and transportation systems for the future. It suggests that the future of mobility will require optimizing the entire system, not just individual components like vehicles. The system involves an energy source, vehicles, infrastructure, and information that allow people to engage in activities through transportation. Constraints on pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and raw materials will require diversifying energy sources and increasing efficiency across the entire mobility system. A transition is needed from today's model of multi-use personal vehicles to a model based on optimized mobility services, infrastructure, and mono-use transportation options.
This document summarizes research being conducted on the Metro project in Quito, Ecuador from a rights-based governance perspective. It provides background on mobility issues and transport disadvantage. Initial findings indicate that transport-related social exclusion exists in Quito. The decision-making process around the Metro project occurred rapidly after feasibility studies with limited citizen participation. Local residents and businesses reported not being adequately consulted during planning. While Ecuador has constitutional rights around participation, civil society organizations argue the city government has not developed capacity for meaningful citizen engagement on transport issues.
Studer the challenge of sustainable transport systems 01LeNS_slide
This document discusses the challenges of unsustainable transport systems and measures to promote more sustainable transport. It outlines problems with current transport systems such as road safety issues, environmental impacts, and economic costs. It then describes several urban measures that can be taken to encourage sustainable transport, including improving public transit, managing traffic and goods delivery, promoting biking and walking, using pricing strategies, and adopting cleaner vehicles and fuels. The overall goal is to shift people from private vehicles to more sustainable modes of transportation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. We do not live in an era of change
but in a change of era
3. 19th CENTURY
- Industrial revolution
- Fear for machines
- Long-lasting turbulence
- Social inequality
- Marx
21st CENTURY
- Digital revolution
- Fear for robots
- Increasing turbulence
- Social inequality
- Piketty
9. Ecological Crisis
destroy more ecological capital than financial capital
we produce at the cost of the earth
we borrow resources but we don’t pay back
climate change one symptom of ecological imbalance
15. Transition
fundamental change of structure, culture and practices in
societal (sub)system
– structure: physical infrastructure, economic infrastructure (market,
consumption, production), institutions (rules, regulations, actors)
– culture: collective set of values, norms, perspectives, paradigms
– practices: routines, behaviour, ways of handling, at the individual level
incumbent structure, culture and practices need to be
broken down and new ones need to be built up
18. Transition = Power Shift
regime: dominant power regime with vested interests
niche: emerging power niche at a small scale level
niche wants to develop power and take over incumbent regime
regime protects itself against this with all means
transition = regime-change = power shift
20. Transitions
last at least 2 generations
whimsical and partly inpredictble patterns
can be influenced by smart intervention
money, laws & rules, institutions, behaviour
21. Transitions
must be helped to get started
market does not pick that up immediately
[unprofitable top]
starting subsidies for system breakthroughs
22. Transition Governance
creating innovation spaces for radical innovation
frontrunners and connectors in innovation spaces
from vision to portfolio of transition-experiments
scaling up successful transition experiments
26. Mobility is Persistent Problem
complex problem that is difficult to steer
deeply rooted in our societal structures and culture
has been around for at least 50 years
traffic jams, air pollution, noise pollution, accidents
29. Mobility as complex, adaptive system
continuous movement from coherent co-evolving components
partly unpredictable, emergent, chaotic behaviour
self-organizing capacity (actors respond to each intervention
‘unexpectedly’ through behavioural adaptation [reflexive ability]
ignoring this complexity results in failing measures and solutions
30. Multi-level Analysis Mobility Transition
Macro-level
- 25.000 road deaths in EU
- 30% of CO2-emissions in EU
- 1% GDP traffic jam damage in EU
- strong growth in cars and airplanes
Meso-level
- lack of long-term vision
+ Paris Climate Agreement
- no clear mobility policy
- failing financial instruments
Micro-level
+ technological innovations
+ rush hour avoidance
- lack of space for radical innovations
32. Mobility Transition in Lock-In
“ measures that steer mobility in a sustainable direction
are either acceptable but have little impact, or
they have impact but have little support in society”
High-level officer of Dutch Ministry
58. ROADPRICING
roadpricing is most effective policy instrument
per km, per road, per time moment
Stockholm, London [car traffic]
Germany, Belgium [freight transport]
60. INTEGRATED PRICING
closed pricing system, where travellers who
travel ‘clean’ are rewarded. This reward is
paid by those who travel in a ‘polluting’ way
obviously, this needs to be income-dependent
61. EMISSION NORMS
emission norms for cars & trucks
per km, per road, per time moment
Stockholm, London [car traffic]
Germany, Belgium [freight transport]
62. trade war VS and China
emission-requirements emission-fraud
Brexit mega fines
new mobility services elektric cars / buses
ban on diesel cars in German cities
GERMAN CAR INDUSTRY
67. INTEGRATED SPATIAL PLANNING
mobility problem is a spatial challenge
integral planning & combining functions
stimulate mobility behaviour of people
can reduce mobility significantly
69. RUSH HOUR AVOIDANCE
rewarding people if they avoid driving in rush hour
successful experiments, needs to be scaled up
incorporate that in the mobility regime
[fiscal, juridical, technological, institutional]
aimed at behavioural change in the long run
70. STIMULATE BIKING
among allochtonous people
give bikers priority to car drivers
create biking parking places
stimulate digital bike sharing
Barcelona, Copenhagen, Amsterdam
72. LEEFSTRATEN GENT
citizen ownership for their own streets
pioneering citizens and civil servants
solutions for car parking pressure
less car mobility gives higher living quality
European movement
73. FLYING SHAME
flying tax introduced in Sweden
[40 euro for international flights, 6 euro for national flights]
celebrities abstain from flying
growing movement in Sweden
from 10.000 to 100.000 people
