This paper identifies one possible set of appropriate disciplinary content for undergraduate programs in sustainability, based
on a survey instrument employed at two international sustainability events in 2005. Undertaken to supplement the focus in
the sustainability education literature on generic skills and pedagogical method via case-based or broadly conceptual work,
it seeks to assist curriculum developers with planning disciplinary content. Findings indicate that a sustainability canon
of sorts exists. A surprising amount of agreement existed from the two different specialist groups about core concepts, notably
in ecology and—less unanimously—policy, economics and ethics. Studies about society were preferred as elective content. A
10-subject core was nominated, suggesting the need for broad foundational underpinnings. 相似文献

Different bioassays with higher plants were approved for use in a bioassay procedure for testing of xenobiotics according
to the German Chemicals Act. Selected environmental pollutants (atrazine, cadmium chloride, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, pentachlorophenol,
potassium dichromate, thiourea), all from a list of reference chemicals, were tested with these methods. Dose-response curves
for growth of oats and turnips were evaluated in soil and vermiculite (nonsorptive substrate), and availability to plants
was calculated by comparing the EC50 values for one chemical in both substrates. The most active chemical was atrazine, followed by 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile,
pentachlorophenol, potassium dichromate, cadmium chloride, and thiourea. The least available compound to plants was pentachlorophenol,
tested with turnips (Brassica rapa var.rapa). The strongest inhibition of germination, demonstrated in an in vitro assay with garden cress (Lepidium sativum), was found with 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, the lowest with atrazine. The effect of an extended exposure of the plants to
the chemicals was evaluated in a long-term bioassay with oats (Avena sativa) in hydroponic culture. Several dose-response curves during the growing period were derived. It was found that the EC50 values for atrazine and thiourea decreased markedly during the first four weeks; thereafter the changes were much smaller.
As an overall conclusion, a bioassay procedure is proposed that can be included in the graduated plan recommended by the German
Chemicals Act. 相似文献

International declarations and charters have been produced to encourage and support higher education institutions (HEIs) to
address their environmental responsibilities. This paper discusses the results of a critical examination of a range of international
HEIs that have signed the global environmental Talloires Declaration. It also assesses the Talloires Secretariat (University
Leaders for a Sustainable Future, ULSF) and the extent to which this has been a primary stimulus. An international survey
was undertaken and the results presented in a discursive format in order to highlight key driving forces, barriers, and opportunities
for environmental responsibility in HEIs. Analysis reveals that they occur on two distinct and evolving levels: the macro
national framework level and the micro institutional framework level. Survey responses revealed that none of the HEIs have
an embedded institutional environmental culture and most did not have all the micro institutional mechanisms in place for
an integrated university-wide environmental response. Many of the institutional barriers to environmental responsibility occurred
as a result of this lack of strategy. The most significant institutional opportunity cited was enthusiastic individuals, particularly
those at senior management or directorate level, and these individuals were found to be a key driving force. Results also
showed that environmental reporting along the lines developed by the private sector is a flexible mechanism that can stimulate
progress internally and externally and can be cost effectively disseminated via the World Wide Web. Moreover the survey results
indicate that ULSF is not currently a primary stimulus for institution wide action. 相似文献

This paper provides a critical overview and analysis of the student-led fossil fuel divestment (FFD) movement and its impact on sustainability discourse and actions within US higher education. Analysing higher education institutes’ (HEIs) divestment press releases and news reports shows how institutional alignment with cultures of sustainability and social justice efforts played key roles in HEIs’ decisions to divest from fossil fuels. Key stated reasons for rejection were: minimal or unknown impact of divestment, risk to the endowment, and fiduciary duty. Participant observation and interviews with protagonists reveal the intricate power structures and vested business interests that influence boardroom divestment decision-making. While some HEIs embrace transformative climate actions, we contend that higher education largely embraces a business-as-usual sustainability framework characterised by a reformist green-economy discourse and a reluctance to move beyond business-interest responses to climate politics. Nonetheless, the FFD movement is pushing HEIs to move from compliance-oriented sustainability behaviour towards a more proactive and highly politicised focus on HEIs’ stance in the modern fossil fuel economy. We offer conceptual approaches and practical directions for reorienting sustainability within HEIs to prioritise the intergenerational equity of its students and recognise climate change as a social justice issue. Fully integrating sustainability into the core business of HEIs requires leadership to address fundamental moral questions of both equity and responsibility for endowment investments. We contend that HEIs must re-evaluate their role in averting catastrophic climate change, and extend their influence in catalysing public climate discourse and actions through a broader range of external channels, approaches, and actors. 相似文献

植物保护品在农作物上的使用会导致鸟类和哺乳动物接触有毒化学物质。在欧盟,关于此类暴露的风险评估均以当前(2009)欧洲食品安全局(EFSA)颁布的指导性文件为依据,与之前的版本相比,该文件在理论风险评估的可实现性方面有所提高(SANCO/4145/2000)。自从7年前实施2009 EFSA 指导性文件以来,基于此已经对众多植物保护品的毒性进行了成功地评估。然而,在今后的修订版本中仍然存在需要改进的重要方面。这篇焦点文章讨论了目前方案的风险评估经验,包括输入参数的保守水平和监管当局的解释以及如何在不远的将来对指导性文件进行修订提出建议。明确了推进指导文件的几方面建议,例如与生态相关的鸟类和哺乳动物生殖端点的推导和情境风险评估中建模方法的使用。在完善现有数据库方面,本文也有所强调,包括校对全欧洲相关焦点物种和扩大食物残留数据库。为了能够在将来形成一个真实可用的指导性文件,强烈建议在产业、监管和欧洲食品安全局等部门之间进行开放和建设性的沟通和交流。这样的合作也将鼓励会员国之间的融合,从而减轻产业和监管机构工作负荷。

Sustainability science represents a fundamental shift in the nature of research on environmental problems, calling for specialists to expand beyond their disciplinary perspectives in order to cooperate together to understand and address systemic problems. This shift demands a corresponding shift in education in order to equip students with the skills, theories, and methods they need to address contemporary challenges. We argue that case studies are a productive pedagogical approach to teaching about sustainability and teaching for sustainability. Case-based approaches equip students to encounter complexity, manage uncertainty, and generate innovative strategies. In laying out of the pedagogical challenges inherent in sustainability education, we highlight opportunities and demands for environmental communication scholars to contribute to the emerging discipline of sustainability science. 相似文献
