It is very motivating when you see a team, colleagues and likeminded associates, using knowledge and experience for the better quality of life of everyone. Time flies, looking back is fulfilling, looking forward is exciting! ☆ Thanks for a great job, Vitor Rebelo! __________________ 》CESL ASIA PRESENTS SOLUTIONS FOR THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 《 CESL Asia, a company dedicated to energy and infrastructure management, also on greater food sustainability, presents tomorrow, on the first day of the Macau International Environmental Cooperation Forum and Exhibition, a solution that says it is innovative in terms of facilities management through the deployment of artificial intelligence tools. The president of the company told the TRIBUNA DE MACAU newspaper that he is working with experts from several countries and to follow up on the partnerships he has established in previous years. António Trindade stresses that the fundamental thing is "to know how to make the most by deploying solutions that use these new technologies and the complexity of information that we have collected and at our disposal to produce as efficiently as possible." The presence in the environmental event, he says, "allows you to use knowledge and experience to improve the quality of life, sharing this with customers." REBELO, VITOR https://lnkd.in/gBd3v6KQ

A Cultura como "Bem Público Global" Nosso trabalho itinerante baseia-se em uma série de referências e estudos sobre a relação entre arte, educação e questões climáticas. Um evento relevante nesse contexto foi a Conferência Mundial sobre Políticas Culturais e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, conhecida como Mondiacult 2022, realizada no México, entre 28 e 30 de setembro, marcando 40 anos desde a última edição. Após dez meses de intensas negociações multilaterais lideradas pela UNESCO, foi adotada unanimemente uma ambiciosa Declaração para a Cultura, que reconhece a cultura como um "bem público global" e defende sua integração em todas as políticas públicas. Essa integração deve ser inclusiva e garantir a participação de governos, autoridades locais, setor privado e sociedade civil. Dentro do contexto da Década da Ação para alcançar o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, a Declaração Mondiacult 2022 emite um Apelo à Ação, buscando compromissos coletivos e individuais para assegurar, preservar e promover a arte e a cultura, inclusive para as futuras gerações. A Declaração sublinha que "a cultura é um bem público global com valor intrínseco para permitir e impulsionar o desenvolvimento sustentável" (ponto 18). O texto da Declaração exorta as Nações Unidas a reconhecer e integrar a cultura como um "objetivo específico, por direito próprio, na agenda do desenvolvimento para além de 2030". Além disso, incentiva a realização de amplas consultas, a produção de dados e estudos sobre o "impacto multidimensional da cultura em nossas sociedades" e a monitorização das políticas no setor. https://lnkd.in/d94-khhS

Several countries have already criminalised #ecocide, the Netherlands cannot be left behind, according to Cedric Ryngaert and Daan van Uhm (see their full column in the NRC). Therefore, it certainly added value that the Gemeente Utrecht (Municipality of Utrecht) signed the Stop Ecocide NL Manifesto to encourage the discussion 'how can we protect the environment through criminal law?', learn more at uu.nl: https://lnkd.in/eNFd5f6f. Good example abroad is the Maranon River in Peru. That is the source of the Amazon River and was recently one of the first rivers to be designated as a legal entity by court, writes Herman Kasper Gilissen in Het Financieele Dagblad. Since the 1970s, the possibility of internationally criminalizing ecocide has been widely discussed, for example as a war crime, a form of genocide, a crime against humanity, or a fifth international core crime. However, there are numerous challenges, both theoretical and pragmatic, associated with any such criminalization, and with the concept of ecocide in itself. While ecocide has yet to be recognized officially as an international crime, it is firmly established in the public vocabulary for discussing the unfolding environmental crises with severe ecological consequences such as large-scale pollution, rapidly disappearing rainforests, and the mass extinction of species, according to dr. Susanne Knittel. How can we democratise environmentalism (further)? This is multi-faceted issue and thus requires a multidisciplinary approach. This is where we work with Strategic theme Pathways to Sustainability (Utrecht University) to find answers. The recently awarded honorary doctorate to Robyn Eckersley illustrates this interface well. Read the interview on uu.nl: https://lnkd.in/gc-kGwZr (with thanks to Marta Jiménez). But “the question of ecocide is not just a legal or political problem, it is also a problem of the imagination. What kinds of stories need to be told, what kinds of justice are we seeking, and what are the spaces (legal, political, cultural) where such justice can happen?” according to dr. Susanne Knittel. On Monday April 29th, 16.00 CET, you can join IOS platform Fair Transitions' meeting on Ecocide, Ecologies of Violence: Crimes against Nature in the Contemporary Cultural Imagination 🌱 by dr. Susanne Knittel. Register via: https://lnkd.in/ef5aHnDc.

DIA MUNDIAL DA METROLOGIA 2024 "We measure today for a sustainable tomorrow" O tema do Dia Mundial da Metrologia 2024 é a Sustentabilidade. Este ano assinala-se o reconhecimento oficial pela UNESCO do dia 20 de maio de cada ano como Dia Internacional da UNESCO. Esta designação abre novos caminhos para promover a metrologia, alinhando-se com a missão da UNESCO de construir um mundo melhor através da ciência e da educação. https://lnkd.in/dSy7ss4

NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) published a new policy that requires researchers to assess possible dual use and negative impacts of their research, in particular when working with third parties. NWO explicitly states that this should reduce the risk of greenwashing (https://lnkd.in/emzPz7JM).   Although NWO does not exclude collaboration with parties involved in human rights abuse or environmental destruction, this policy should make researchers think twice about collaborating with a fossil fuel company on a so-called green project, especially when the research will not lead to practical implementation. This would be classified as greenwashing after all.   'Dual use' is where the results of a project can have more than one application, e.g. in renewable energy as well as in fossil fuels; while one application may be stated in the grant application, the real interest of the company may lie in the other.   'Greenwashing,' where products, services or organizations are presented as more environmentally friendly than they really are, is a growing problem that delays meaningful climate action. In response, the EU drafted a new directive that will force companies to substantiate and verify “green claims,” such as “climate neutral” or “contributes to decarbonization". The law would come into effect starting in 2026, after it receives final approval from EU countries and the Parliament's plenary (https://lnkd.in/deENNu_S).   Being associated with greenwashing provides reputational and legal risk. Recently, the Dutch court ruled KLM's greenwashing as illegal (https://lnkd.in/dCDKQQMq). Currently, PR agencies are under pressure for their role in promoting fossil fuels (https://lnkd.in/ejisguYX). Researchers and research institutes should carefully consider their role in the transition; are they accelerators of the transition or enablers of climate obstruction?

Nos vemos em breve!

New policy of NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) will hopefully reduce risk of dual use in fossil fuel applications and greenwashing. Researchers and research institutes should carefully consider their role in the transition; are they accelerators of the transition or enablers of climate obstruction?
