Abstract: Climate change is now considered one of the most pressing “global issues” that humanity is addressing. In that context, there appear to be more and more sciences, including ecological philosophy, specifically studying ecological issues. Ecological philosophy, a new discipline of philosophy, dates back to the 1980s. Although it has recently emerged, ecological philosophy has proved to be a growing influence not only with its interdisciplinary nature, but also with its practicality and urgency. Based on the general theory of ecological philosophy and the recent results of ecological philosophy research in Vietnam, the article proposes a number of orientations and basic solutions for applying the results of ecological philosophy research in the current social development in Vietnam. Keywords: Ecological philosophy, ecological ethics, ecological social model, climate change, sustainable development.

The global development using economic has resulted social and environmental issues, including climate change. After the Silent Spring and Brundtland Report publicated, global development paradigm has changed, from economic to sustainable development. National development continues to support the growing population for moving forward into developed country. Nevertheless, the national development undertaken showed an unsustainable development pattern. This research aimed to obtain the principles of transformation sustainable development and climate change policy in Indonesia used Soft System Methodology. Reflections on sustainable development and climate change countermeasure showed that national development was economic-oriented and left environmental quality, green house gas pattern has been moving toward business-as-usual conditions. The principles of policy transformation to realize the sustainable development and climate change countermeasure in Indonesia, the paradigm, from static to a dynamic and holistic of Systems Thinking paradigm, especially for stakeholders and decision makers.

This paper presents the results of a survey among pre-service and inservice students of pre-school education and students of environmental sciences on the acceptability of value-laden statements made by their teachers on issues of sustainable development and climate change. Fifteen statements were provided, and students had to choose among the options »acceptable statement«, »unacceptable statement« and »cannot  decide«. The questionnaire was completed by 139 students from two universities in Slovenia. The results show that the students expect their teachers to promote the principles of sustainable development. The majority of students considered any teacher’s statement that would cast doubt on the cause or the necessity to act against climate change to be unacceptable. Teacher’s statements emphasising global issues that have, or could have, a direct impact on developed countries (e.g. climate change) received higher support than those global questions that more heavily impact underdeveloped or developing countries (e.g. poverty, child labour, access to natural resources). In the conclusion, it is emphasised that teachers should assist students in developing their own moral positions on complex issues such as sustainable development and climate change. Structured discussion techniques, such as a panel discussion, forum and debate, should be regularly and carefully implemented into lectures at the university level.

AbstractWith 1.3 billion populaces on the commencement of the 21st century, India is currently impending towards upholding a subtle equilibrium between persisting social development and well-being without depleting existing biophysical resources at the national level or surpassing global average per capita obtainability. In this paper, we have structured a top-down per capita framework to explore national ‘safe and just operating space’ (NSJOS) to apprehend not only past fluctuations that bring about the present conditions but also the plausible future consequences, with India as a case study. Coalescing 27 indicators, all pertaining to Sustainable Development Goals (except – SDG 17), accompanied by their corresponding environmental boundaries or preferred social thresholds, present study probes into both biophysical (for environmental stress) and social development (for social deficit) attributes of India. This analysis shows India has already crossed three of seven dimensions of biophysical boundaries (freshwater, nitrogen and phosphorus use). Also, at the existing rate, India is going to cross the remainder of the boundaries within 2045-2050 (climate change, arable land use, ecological and material footprint). Of 20 indicators used for social development, only five have already or will meet corresponding desired thresholds of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2015. Using tendencies of past variations, the results indicate that if lowest per capita consumption can be attained and uphold, even with projected population growth, total consumption of four biophysical resources (climate change, nitrogen use, ecological and material footprint) can be slashed from today’s level in 2050. Adaptations in national policy are indispensable if India wants to accomplish sufficiency in biophysical resources whilst bestowing social equity in access and exploitation of those resources towards the continuance of social developments in forthcoming times.

Although the social and environmental effects of global business are not fresh, there have been increased concerns in recent years as a result of urgent global issues such as climate change and deprivation. In terms of their regional reach and operations, multinational corporations are perceived as having a particular role, since they address a variety of concerns, stakeholders and societal structures, in both home and host countries. They are regarded continuously as having the capacity to be not only part of the issue but also potentially part of the remedy and have been illustrated in their research interests in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and global business' sustainable development implications. However, there was no formal research and inclusion in the literature. This paper discusses how these topics have been explored in IB work and describe specific knowledge differences and solutions. It often introduces recent experiments that yield insightful findings that lead to exciting areas for more study.

As part of the Lovely Weather project, artist and environmental scientist Antony Lyons undertook a rural science and art residency project examining the relationships between the locality of the River Finn Valley, County Donegal, Ireland and the processes of climate change. The local countryside is, in many ways, enmeshed in the wider global systems. At the core of the project was the quest for new avenues of communication and dialogue—through revealing unseen and metaphorical connections—enabling the local community and others to engage with the global issues, and the science, in a meaningful way. A research-based ‘deep-mapping’ approach was used. Art installations were developed, and there now exists a platform for some locally grounded sustainable development initiatives to emerge.

Major developments have been achieved in advancing sustainability research in sustainability science (SS) as a new and distinct field. Based on its emerging academic landscape, SS has now acquired an unusual geographic footprint with a giant cluster of co-authorships in cities and countries at very different levels, all in pursuit of sustainable development and sustainability. It has gained a robust inclusion in the agendas of governments and corporations along with the burgeoning growth of educational and research programs worldwide. In the call for the integration of research and education, higher educational and research institutions have fostered the goals toward sustainability to address the practical protection of Earth's key support systems, climate change, and other global issues. In confronting a wide range of global issues in the 21st century, scientists across the globe see the need for accelerating knowledge in sustainability wherein knowledge production itself must be made sustainable.
