V članku so predstavljene možnosti rabe kalkulatorja ekološkega odtisa v vzgoji in izobraževanju, še posebej z vidika razvijanja kompetenc za trajnostni razvoj. Čeprav je empirična raziskava potekala ...v visokošolskem prostoru (študentke in študenti geografije na Univerzi v Ljubljani), je v prilagojeni obliki mogoče opisani pristop k obravnavi posameznikovih pritiskov na okolje in možnosti njihovega zmanjševanja prenesti tudi v osnovnošolsko in srednješolsko prakso. Večina sodelujočih je v obravnavi ekološkega odtisa prepoznala pomemben prispevek k vzgoji in izobraževanju za trajnostni razvoj.
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to public health. Sustainability is characterized by using resources wisely in a way that protects finite resources and the environment, and takes into ...account the needs of our planets’ inhabitants in the future. Sustainability in health care should be considered as a seventh domain of quality, as it can lead to improvement of patient outcomes, and more capacity for health care workers to engage in quality improvement and thereby improve the quality of care.
The carbon footprint of primary care is high, mainly due to prescribing medication, but also due to the transport of patients to hospitals and primary care services for interventions requested by family medicine. Other causes are the transport of staff and supplies, consumables and staff involved in laboratory analysis and radiation, medical and non-medical equipment, clinical and non-clinical waste, heating and cooling systems and other activities. Small adjustments in these areas could significantly decrease the carbon footprint of primary care practices. The suggested steps for primary care to achieve a more sustainable practice are fostering research, raising awareness, reducing the burden on primary care, engaging in quality improvement, and leadership and advocacy.
Each individual primary care practice has the potential to be a leader and role model for sustainable health care. With the implementation of interventions to reduce carbon footprints, primary care could set an example within the health sector and for patients. This could significantly raise the awareness of the public about the need to take actions for a greener health system.
This book explores the different methodologies and data used to understand climate's effect on food security. It explains the nature of the climate threat, ways that crops and farmers might respond, ...and the potential role for public and private investment.

Paradigma trajnostnega razvoja terja nove pristope k proučevanju povezav med socialnoekonomskim razvojem in njegovimi okoljskimi pritiski. V ta namen je bil oblikovan tristopenjski interakcijski ...regionalnogeografski model. Nov indeks predstavlja poskus vrednotenja stopnje splošne uravnoteženosti razvoja v posamezni državi ali regiji, saj nadgrajuje že uveljavljeni indeks človekovega razvoja z okoljsko razsežnostjo (t.j. ekološkim odtisom) in posledično močno spreminja uveljavljene predstave o svetovni blaginji in razvitosti.
Udejanjanje strategij trajnostnega razvoja postavlja pred države članice Evropske unije in njihove sosede veliko zahtevnih izzivov. Empirična analiza ekonomskih, socialnih in okoljskih razvojnih ...značilnosti evropskih držav razkriva, da so obstoječi razvojni trendi netrajnostni in se oddaljujejo od zastavljenih strateških ciljev. V tem kontekstu članek izpostavlja nekatere prihodnje naloge, zlasti še z vidika medregionalne in medgeneracijske pravičnosti in odgovornosti.
Is Gaia becoming Thanatia, a resource exhausted planet? For how long can our high-tech society be sustained in the light of declining mineral ore grades, heavy dependence on un-recycled critical ...metals and accelerated material dispersion? These are all root causes of future disruptions that need to be addressed today.This book presents a cradle-to-cradle view of the Earth's abiotic resources through a novel and rigorous approach based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics: heat dissipates and materials deteriorate and disperse. Quality is irreversibly lost. This allows for the assessment of such depletion and can be used to estimate the year where production of the main mineral commodities could reach its zenith. By postulating Thanatia, one acquires a sense of destiny and a concern for a unified global management of the planet's abiotic resource endowment.The book covers the core aspects of geology, geochemistry, mining, metallurgy, economics, the environment, thermodynamics and thermochemistry. It is supported by comprehensive databases related to mineral resources, including detailed compositions of the Earth's layers, thermochemical properties of over 300 substances, historical energy and mineral resource inventories, energy consumption and environmental impacts in the mining and metallurgical sector and world recycling rates of commodities.
