Inter-linking issues and dimensions in sustainability reporting

During the last decade, Sustainability Reporting (SR) has been increasingly adopted by corporations worldwide. This is evidenced by the adoption of several guidelines, such as the ISO 14000 series, the Social Accountability 8000 standard, and the GRI Sustainability Guidelines. SR shows promise to help corporate leaders and their employees to contribute towards achieving sustainable societies. However, most of the guidelines and standards address sustainability issues through comparmentalisation, thereby, leading to the separation of the economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Due to these divisive approaches, holistic assessments of the effects of their efforts are seldom properly integrated into coporate decisions and procedures to make improvements for example through Cleaner Production, Worker Health and Safety, Consumer Safety, and reductions in the negative short and long-term Social and Environmental Impacts.This paper analyses SR reports from three companies with the help of Grounded Theory's constant comparative analysis. This analytical framework helped the authors to systematically assess the degree to which the companies addressed economic, ecological and social issues separately or in an integrated and inter-linked manner. From the inter-linkages found, a new category is proposed to be added to future SR. This new category can help corporate SR planners and researchers on sustainability reports to better understand how the company leaders understand their responsibilities with regard to SD. These inter-connectednesses are highly relevant in many short and long-term dimensions of supply chain management, global warming, ecological disruption and societal equity issues, especially with regard to the local, national and global energy issues of fuels and oils, the central themes of the conference at which this paper was originally presented. It also plays a key role in real, long-term changes towards Sustainability, where the time dimension plays a key role in human survival on Planet Earth.     

论马克思自由观的生态意蕴与伦理关怀

自由是马克思理论贯穿始终的最高价值设定和最终价值旨归。马克思的自由观经历了几个不同的发展阶段,但同时又是一个前后关联、相互统一的有机整体。只有将其作为一个有机统一的整体并揭示出其不同发展阶段之间内在的逻辑关联,才能全面而深刻地把握马克思的自由观乃至马克思的理论整体与思想全貌,从而才能发掘其内在蕴含着的丰富生态思想和深厚伦理关怀。阐明马克思自由观的生态意蕴与伦理关怀,对于当前的生态文明建设具有重要的理论指导意义。     

Ethical aspects of scientific incertitude in environmental analysis and decision making

There have been too many environmental surprises during the last century—too many occasions where decisions relative to the environment were taken in the belief that there was a well-established, scientific basis for the decisions and faith in the expertise that provided the information. The surprises illustrate that the knowledge base and models in some cases do not even come close to reality. The reason may be incertitude, which covers the spectrum from determinism, uncertainty, ignorance and indeterminacy. In relation to risk assessment and sustainability, society, politicians and professionals have to come to terms with the fact that ignorance plays a far greater role than normally acknowledged by natural scientists and engineers.     

人工增雨与环境可持续发展的思考

人工增雨是指出了由于自然气象条件出现增雨之外,利用目前的气象情况和条件,通过人工干预的方式使得出现更多增雨的方法.本文首先分析了人工增雨的必要性,讨论了目前人工增雨工作存在的问题和作业过程中需要重视的问题,最后为我国人工增雨的未来发展提出了若干建议.     

“十七年”合作化小说的政治伦理叙事

十七年合作化小说的作家按照意识形态的要求,把政治伦理放到了小说叙述话语和叙事策略的最突出位置。设置话语主体的尊贵身份,加强政治伦理的可靠性和权威性,直接或间接引述政策条文凸显政治伦理的思想意蕴,最终达到教育民众入社以实现政治伦理的目的诉求。     

环境伦理规则在环境管理中的应用

本文以可持续发展的环境伦理观,分析了废弃物的无害化与最小量化原则、物质的生命周期管理原则、节约资源的原则以及自然保护与生态恢复原则的先进性和科学性。从环境伦理学的角度提出：人类同在地球上生存,人人都应该享有平等的权利,同时人人也应负有相同的责任。对环境资源享用的平等原则、污染物排放经济效益进步原则、风险共担和成本分摊原则、保护地球资源措施的鼓励原则等伦理规则进行了讨论。分析了国际环境管理标准（ISO14000）中所蕴含的环境伦理思想。     

我国环境保护规划实施中的问题分析

环境规划是国民经济和社会发展的有机组成部分,本文剖析了当前我国环境保护规划在实施中存在的主要问题,认为现阶段我国环境保护规划存在缺乏法律效力、实施过程中缺乏统一协调、资金难以落实、缺乏有效地实施监管机制和公众参与机制缺乏实质性等问题;总结了国外在环境保护规划实施过程中可以借鉴的经验;结合我国环境保护工作的形势和环境保护规划的发展,提出了完善环境保护规划的法律机制、加强环境规划衔接、建立完善的实施监督机制、加大规划实施的资金投入、加强环境保护规划的公众参与等建议,以保证环境保护规划的可达性和可操作性。     

生物多样性保护的环境伦理规则初探

生物多样性资源具有多种价值,而人类的活动正导致地球上的生物多样性资源以前所未有的速度减少。因此,生物多样性保护已成为全球环境保护的一个热点。本文在介绍生物多样概念的基础上,从环境伦理学的角度出发,提出生物多样性保护的伦理规则为：生物资源享用的平等原则,生物多样性资源保护的平等原则,生物多样性保护费用分摊的平等原则。     

Institutional and environmental issues in land reclamation systems maintenance

The research reported here addresses the issues of institutional, social and land-use change with reference to land reclamation system maintenance in the Odra River Valley, SW Poland. Land reclamation systems are a network of different types of water control infrastructure and they require the collective maintenance effort of all users in order to fulfill drainage and irrigation functions properly. The example of decline in these systems in Polish rural areas brings together environmental and economic issues, as well as social dimensions of change from socialist top-down to democratic bottom-up decision-making and management. After 1989 the financing and management of land reclamation services by the State greatly decreased and a duty of LRS maintenance was actually transferred from government to individual land users. Farmers were not ready to take this responsibility and the whole system declined. The analysis presented in this article is a contribution to a better understanding of non-functioning land reclamation systems. Some recommendations for the future improvement of these systems are also provided.     

Ozone disinfection of drinking water — technology transfer and policy issues

In today’s world of stricter drinking water disinfection standards there is a search for disinfection solutions that abide by the new standards while keeping the disinfection operation cost-efficient and safe. Ozone disinfection has the potential not only to meet but also to exceed the limits. Along with disinfection, the use of ozone for drinking water treatment can also have many other benefits such as taste and color removal, iron and manganese removal, and insecticide removal. p]Ozone disinfection has been used widely in Europe for well over a century, but many of its great benefits are just now being realized in the United States. Ozone disinfection has been the focus of many recent studies in the drinking water field. p]The purpose of the research for this paper was to analyze ozone disinfection from technology transfer and related policy perspectives. This paper reports the aspects used to analyze the technology as well as the results. A modified version of the Strategic Technology Evaluation Program was used to evaluate ozone disinfection’s transfer viability. p]This study has demonstrated that ozone disinfection, to be fully accepted into the drinking water industry, must first be accepted by the American Water Works Association, a nationally recognized professional and trade organization. Once this acceptance is gained, individual municipalities will more readily accept the technology. p]Another driving force that will likely bring about the adoption of ozone disinfection of drinking water would be stricter drinking water disinfection standards that can be best met by this technology.
