2020 will go down in history as a tipping point when societies reassessed the fundamental objectives and principles that they had seen their communities develop. As a basis for investigating a broad sense of LifeStyle by Design, some 20 potentially rich narratives are used as the basis for these empirical analyses. They are our Virtual Living Lab at a time of unparalleled attitudinal and behavioural change and uncertainty. Social sharing is more authentic and trustworthy than traditional forms of mass communications. We explore our narratives in the UK and Japan and draw novel yet consistent, scalable implications for policy makers and public and private institutions alike. We track what people think is important to them and thus lay a foundation for engagement, in contrast to the traditional advertising communications approach of intrusion. Some of the new behaviours may become permanent, but there is a general need to streamline and simplify. People are against the complex, not because they want a simple life but because they want more time to enjoy enriched life experiences. At times of change, especially when uncertainty can bring negative outcomes, it is critical to be able to know what to say and how to say it so that leaders can establish trust and the right tone for the moment.

Governance Architecture

Most research on global governance has focused either on theoretical accounts of the overall phenomenon or on empirical studies of distinct institutions that serve to solve particular governance challenges. In this article we analyze instead “governance architectures,” defined as the overarching system of public and private institutions, principles, norms, regulations, decision-making procedures and organizations that are valid or active in a given issue area of world politics. We focus on one aspect that is turning into a major source of concern for scholars and policy-makers alike: the “fragmentation” of governance architectures in important policy domains. The article offers a typology of different degrees of fragmentation, which we describe as synergistic, cooperative, and conflictive fragmentation. We then systematically assess alternative hypotheses over the relative advantages and disadvantages of different degrees of fragmentation. We argue that moderate degrees of fragmentation may entail both significant costs and benefits, while higher degrees of fragmentation are likely to decrease the overall performance of a governance architecture. The article concludes with policy options on how high degrees of fragmentation could be reduced. Fragmentation is prevalent in particular in the current governance of climate change, which we have hence chosen as illustration for our discussion.

Personal Travel

Behavioural change has become regarded as a key tool for policy makers to promote behavioural change that can reduce carbon emissions from personal travel. Yet academic research has suggested that promoting low carbon travel behaviours, in particular those associated with leisure and tourism practices, is particularly challenging because of the highly valued and conspicuous nature of the consumption involved. Accordingly, traditional top-down approaches to developing behavioural change campaigns have largely been ineffectual in this field and this chapter explores innovative ways to understand and develop behavioural change campaigns that are driven from the bottom upwards. In doing so, we draw on emergent literature from management studies and social marketing to explore how ideas of service dominant logic can be used to engage consumers in developing each stage of a behavioural change campaign. Using data and insights from research conducted in the south-east of the UK, we outline and evaluate the process for co-producing knowledge about low carbon travel and climate change. We illustrate how behavioural change campaign creation can be an engaging, lively and productive process of knowledge and experience sharing. The chapter ends by considering the role that co-production and co-creation can have in developing strategies for low carbon mobility and, more broadly, the ways in which publics understand and react to anthropogenic climate change.

The article deals with problem of scientific and practical research of the grounds for obtaining / refusing to obtain a certificate of the right to engage in notarial activities. The article constructs a descriptive and analytical description of the key procedures for obtaining / refusing to obtain a certificate of the right to engage in notarial activities. The analysis of the current Ukrainian legislation in the field of notaries proves that this document confirms only the possibility (right) to engage in notarial activities. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that obtaining a certificate of the right to engage in notarial activities allows you to acquire the position of notary or obtain a registration certificate of registration of private notarial activities. This makes it possible to talk about the professional capacity and professional capacity of the notary. Professional capacity of a notary (right / opportunity to work as a notary) arises from the moment of obtaining a certificate of the right to engage in notarial activities, while professional capacity arises from the moment of obtaining a position by order (for public notaries) or registration certificate (for private notaries). Real activity for public and private notaries is spread from the moment of receiving the relevant positions in state notary offices and the registration meeting of registration of private notarial activity. Some procedural nuances are the results of the research and make up the analysis of the subjects in this article.

Chapter 8 focuses on the consequences of the rise of emergency food provision for the progressive realisation of the human right to food in the UK. The chapter discusses the opportunities that the right to food approach provides and its appropriateness in the current context and sets out three key conclusions. The first is that there is a need to challenge minimalist approaches to the definition of food insecurity, ways in which responses are framed and solutions understood. The second conclusion relates to the importance of rights-based policies to move us forward from the current situation, where the findings suggest there is an increasing reliance on emergency food provision in the context of a retrenched welfare state. The third conclusion relates to the important social and political role emergency food charities could have in the realisation of the right to food. The conclusion chapter ends with recommendations for a range of stakeholders including emergency food charities, policy makers, NGOs, the food industry, communities and individuals and researchers.

RESUMO Esse artigo jurídico trata de um dos temas mais relevantes do momento das pessoas com deficiência e de suas famílias que vivem nos espaços urbanos brasileiros.O acesso das pessoas com deficiência aos espaços urbanos é um direito com expresso reconhecimento legal e esse direito vem sendo considerado como caminho indispensável para a inclusão social dessas pessoas. Acesso e inclusão, que tiveram suas trajetórias de consideração e inclusão na legislação da Organização das Nações Unidas e do Brasil, sempre foram considerados sob a ótica de direitos individuais, sendo certo que a busca de suas efetivações ocorriam por meio dos instrumentos processuais igualmente individuais, ou seja, ações civis para cumprimento de obrigação de fazer e para apuração de danos materiais e morais provocados por entidades públicas e particulares. Uma nova abordagem jurídica para esta situação de descumprimento do comando legal permitiu a identificação do direito de acesso das pessoas com deficiência aos espaços urbanos como sendo um direito fundamental, porque as previsões que o asseguram preservam a dignidade dessas pessoas e o direito à vida digna é um direito fundamental, e permitiu também a sua identificação como um direito difuso, por ser um direito transindividual, de natureza indivisível, cujos titulares são pessoas indeterminadas e ligadas por circunstância de fato. Sendo assim, a sua tutela jurídicapode ser efetivada por meio da poderosa ação civil pública, o que representa uma ampliação respeitável das possibilidades de acesso e inclusão para as pessoas com deficiência aos espaços urbanos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Acessibilidade; Espaços urbanos; Direito Fundamental Difuso; Pessoa com deficiência; Tutela Jurídica coletiva. ABSTRACT This legal article deals with one of the most relevant issues of the moment for people with disabilities and their families living in Brazilian urban spaces. The access of people with disabilities to urban spaces is a right with express legal recognition and this right is being considered as an indispensable way for the social inclusion of these people. Access and inclusion, which had their consideration and inclusion trajectories in the legislation of the United Nations and Brazil, they have always been considered from the perspective of individual rights, being certain that the search for its effectiveness occurred through the equally individual procedural instruments, that is, civil actions to fulfill the obligation to do and to ascertain material and moral damages caused by public and private entities. A new legal approach at this situation of non-compliance with the legal command identified the right of access of disabled people to the urban areas as a fundamental right, because the predictions that ensure preserve the dignity of such persons and the right to decent life is a fundamental right, and also allowed its identification as a diffuse right, because it is a transindividual right, of an indivisible nature, whose holders are indeterminate persons and connected by de factual circumstance. Thus, its legal protection can be effected through the powerful public civil action, which represents a respectable increase in the possibilities of access and inclusion for people with disabilities in urban spaces. KEYWORDS: Accessibility; Urban spaces; Diffuse Fundamental right; Disabled person; Collective legal guardianship.

Research on sustainability and innovation-driven economic growth has exposed a lack of sufficient knowledge in the governance literature about the appropriate extent of government involvement. This paper focuses on the governance of innovation and the intermediary role of the state. The author synthesizes the literature on governance and regulation and introduces the concept of intermediation in the innovation process. The paper employs the Triple Helix model, which describes interactions and intermediation between government, industry and universities, and extends it by looking at the role played by intermediaries, including public and private institutions, government bodies and independent organizations. A new theoretical framework for the analysis of intermediation and the governance of innovation is developed and applied to four case studies of intermediaries in the health technology cluster in the Greater South East region of the UK. The empirical findings demonstrate the heuristics of the intermediation concept and the application of the intermediation framework.

Many applications and websites to fight the Covid-19 pandemic have been created and developed in recent months by both official institutions and commercial or private initiatives. A large number of projects that use technologies such as geolocation, geopositioning, geofencing, tracking, and registration of contacts through Bluetooth have arisen, generating a huge amount of data. By using big data techniques, geographic information systems (GIS), and artificial intelligence, information has been produced for health institutions and society itself, helping to address the health crisis more efficiently. This article describes, analyzes, and offers a systematized review of a significant sample of websites and applications recently implemented successfully or under development by public and private institutions. We searched the available scholarly literature, as well as news from the main newspapers, websites, and digital media specialized in technology. The article concludes with a description of the best and most efficient practices found, relating then to the right to privacy and personal data protection.

Development Agendas

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an initiative that dates back to the early 1990s. Whilst policy statements at this time referred to ESD as a bringing together of environmental and development education, in the UK, as in most other industrialized countries, it has been the environmental agenda that has tended to dominate. In the UK, policy-makers have since 1997 played an increasingly leading role in promoting ESD, particularly within schools. However, the drive behind these initiatives poses wider questions about their ultimate purpose: a learning agenda or one based on seeking behavioural change? Development education has always been the junior partner in the ESD debates in the UK, in part because of its low academic profile but also because of the policy separation by governments.This has, however, begun to change through the merging of policy initiatives around ESD and global citizenship which, by their very nature, are again posing the wider questions about the purpose and goal of these agendas.

ABSTRACTIn the universe of technologically advanced societies, the respect for privacy as a fundamental right presents an increasingly urgent requirement, whereas the right to privacy, in the current system of fundamental rights, it is essential to human  dignity.  It  is  urgent,  in  this  context,  to  inquire  about  the  construction  of  a  new  constitutionalism  of  the  electronic space  in  which  privacy  protection  will  constitute  an  essential  right  in  the  consolidation  of  social  identity,  and  therefore, social  dignity.  The  technology,  despite  allowing  the  construction  of  a  private  sphere  more  diversified,  paradoxically,  becomes more vulnerable in the moment as its’ exposure becomes constant. It justifies the growing need for a further strengthening  of  the  legal  protection  of  privacy  so  that  the  Principle  of  Human  Dignity  is  effectively  implemented.  The  primary objective  of  this  research  is  to  seek  a  new  valuation  of  human,  social  and  juristic  scientific  and  technological  innovations used by public and private institutions, having as imperative the equal social dignity. To attain this end, it will be adopted the Civil Constitutional Law’s methodology, taking as theoretical framework privacy in surveillance society, an object theme of deep studies by the Italian jurist Stefano Rodotà.RESUMONo universo das sociedades tecnologicamente avançadas, o respeito à privacidade como direito fundamental apresenta-se como uma exigência cada vez mais urgente, visto que o direito à privacidade, no sistema atual de direitos fundamentais, revela-se essencial à própria dignidade humana. Urge, nesse contexto, a necessidade de se perquirir acerca da construção de um novo constitucionalismo do espaço eletrônico, no qual a proteção da privacidade venha a se constituir em um direito essencial na consolidação da identidade social, e, portanto, da dignidade social. A tecnologia, apesar de possibilitar a construção de uma esfera privada diversificada, paradoxalmente, a torna mais vulnerável a partir do momento em que sua exposição torna-se constante. Justifica-se, assim, a necessidade de um maior fortalecimento da proteção jurídica da privacidade a fim de que o Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana seja efetivamente concretizado. O objetivo precípuo deste trabalho está em buscar uma nova valoração humana, social e jurídica das inovações científicas e tecnológicas utilizadas pelas instituições públicas e privadas, tendo-se por imperativo a igual dignidade social. Para persecução deste fim, foi adotada a metodologia do Direito Civil Constitucional, tomando-se por marco teórico a privacidade na sociedade de vigilância, tema objeto de profundos estudos do jurista italiano Stefano Rodotà.
