The Third

In the first point of the article I define the terminology of the issue, primarily I define how I will use the term of exclusion. In the second point I describe the negative significance of social exclusion for ecological reasons which is due to the progressive destruction of the natural resources of our planet. The third point is devoted to commonly positive understanding of the ecological exclusion which is reflected in bioregionalists postulate to draw an area of a pristine and an untouched nature. The last point, the fourth one, concerns counteraction against negatively understood of the exclusion from the ecological perspective. I focus here mainly on postulates created in the field of humanity studies involved in ecology and the idea of sustainable development.

Abstract This chapter on sustainability and tourism growth discusses: the problem with the use of gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of tourism growth; the concepts of weak and strong sustainability; tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); the need for new business models, an ecological perspective and good governance for tourism to succeed in its sustainability agenda; and the proposed MST index for measuring sustainability.

The City

With the economic globalization continuing to advance, coastal port cities have enjoyed increasingly prominent status and roles as the link between the sea and the land and an important window of foreign trade and exchanges. However, port cities, while embracing rapid development, have also produced a significant impact on natural resources and the ecological environment. Ecological environment protection has become a must-consider factor for sustainable development of port cities. To secure coordinated and sustainable development of ports and cities, this paper utilizes the system dynamics theory and approaches the subject from driver analysis. In the traditional port-city collaboration system model, indicators of ecological perspectives such as land resources and environmental protection are introduced to build a dynamic model for the spatial evolution system of port-city coupling system based on ecological protection, and the dynamic mechanism of port-city spatial relation evolution is analyzed in depth with a case study of Dongdu Port Area of Xiamen Port. The model’s simulation results show that from an ecological perspective, the spatial distance between the port and the city is critical to their sustainable and coordinated development. Only after the port-city spatial distance increases moderately can the development efficiency of the port-city system welcomes a relatively significant increase. Managing the port-city distance well has a significant driving effect on capacity enhancement of the port and economic development of the city. This provides a theoretical reference for further studies on port-city coordinated and sustainable development and provides constructive suggestions for the government to make relevant decisions.

The Impact

Abstract Background The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development presents an unprecedented opportunity to apply an ecological perspective in public health. It’s success relays on the capacity to interpret and translate embodied principles into policies and actions. Regional policy document (PDs) guide the actions taken by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Member States. This study aims to explore the alignment between these tools and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the WHO European Region. Methods PDs were identified scanning the contents of the 2015-2018 Sessions of the Regional Committee for Europe - the WHO decision-making body. 17 PDs endorsed during this period were directly included. 39 Progress reports were scanned to find additional valid PDs. The Final list included 32 items. A content analysis of the PDs was used to establish alignment to 64 health-related SDGs targets. Results Preliminary results found that each PD aligned to multiple targets within and beyond SDG 3. 24 PDs addressed all targets of SDG 3. A gap within target 3.b was identified (development of medicines and vaccines). Three PDs dealt with health issues outside SDG 3: target 2.1 and 2.2 (end hunger and malnutrition), 15.8 (prevent and reduce the impact of invasive species), and 16.2 (end violence and abuse against children). Five crosscutting PDs aimed to reduce the impact of social, economic and environmental determinants of health on specific population groups, aligning to several targets at the time. Gaps in Target 8.7 (eradicate forced labor) and 14.2 (protect marine and coastal ecosystems) were found. Conclusions PDs have the potential of contributing to several targets simultaneously, linking health to diverse aspects of sustainable development. The SDGs open the possibility for multisectoral actions. PDs invite decision-makers to venture into unconventional policy fields to address public health concerns raised by climate change and sustainable development. Key messages Policy documents are a valuable instrument to advance the 2030 Agenda as they enjoy the commitment of Member States and guide the action taken by international and national decision makers. The ecological perspective in public health promised by the 2030 Agenda demands actions beyond SDG 3, to address the health dimension of all aspects of sustainable development.

Abstract The goal of the research was to get an overview on the possibilities of sustainable development in relation to information and communication technologies in primary and secondary schools in Slovenia from the perspective of media ecology. The study analyses the reasons for a reorientation of the educational system and new programmes towards sustainability and relates these developments to the activities of Eco-schools in Slovenia. The findings show that the guidelines of sustainable development are included in the programmes, yet they do not encompass the possibilities opening up by new technologies. Contemporary teaching methods are not widespread due to the inadequate education and training of teachers. At the same time, numerous problems arising from the introduction of new technologies and equipment into schools are neither anticipated nor tackled in the renewed curricula, thus failing to integrate a contemporary media-ecological perspective. Judging from the roadmap documents, even after the renewal process will have been finished, the situation will hardly change unless major changes are introduced into the planned concept of renovation and additional investments of funds for equipment, the preparation of materials and, above all, teacher education are secured.
