In ecology, sustainability is the capacity to endure; it is how biological systems remain diverse and productive indefinitely. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. In more general terms, sustainability is the endurance of systems and processes. The organizing principle for sustainability is sustainable development, which includes the four interconnected domains: ecology, economics, politics and culture.Sustainability science is the study of sustainable development and environmental science.
Sustainability can also be defined as the ability to be sustained, supported, upheld, or confirmed.
Healthy ecosystems and environments are necessary to the survival of humans and other organisms. Ways of reducing negative human impact are environmentally-friendly chemical engineering, environmental resources management and environmental protection. Information is gained from green chemistry, earth science, environmental science and conservation biology. Ecological economics studies the fields of academic research that aim to address human economies and natural ecosystems.

Speaking during the opening of the second National Confrence on sustainable land management , the United Nations development programme president representative , Michel Balima , stated that dealing with climate change is no longer a choice but a priority for the national government to put in measures to adapt to these changes.

The Mediterranean Sea is as beautiful as it is fragile. Today it is under threat. Marine Protected Areas are effective tools for ensuring marine ecosystems are protected, natural resources are used sustainably, and that our natural heritage is maintained. WWF is working with partners to strengthen and expand the network of MPAs in the Mediterranean. An effective MPA system is needed to ensure that the oceans recuperate, continue to store carbon dioxide, that fish stocks recover and that coastlines are protected from harsh climatic conditions.

http://mdgfund.org/ Sustainable rural tourism is one of the key sectors with strong potential for diversifying Serbia's rural economy. In the past several years a movement has been developing toward sustainable rural tourism that counters the threats of unmanaged tourism. Sustainable tourism views tourism within destination areas as a relationship between host areas and their communities and peoples, tourists, and the tourism industry. In the past, the tourism industry has dominated this relationship. Sustainable tourism reconciles the conflicting interests between these three partners. In short, it minimizes environmental and cultural damage, optimizes visitor satisfaction, maximizes long-term economic growth, and balances tourism growth potential and the conservation needs of the enviro...
Mondo Juve Mall is the largest shopping centre in the Piedmont Region, located in close proximity of the Juventus Football Club training centre, and one of the most innovative malls in Europe. Spreading over a total area of 82.000 m², on a land area of about 340.000 m², the mall was designed with a strong eco-sustainability vision; therefore, some of the most innovative green technologies have been selected for the production and re-use of clean energy as well as control of energy consumption. Geoplast’s New Elevetor Tank, the permanent formwork for in situ cast concrete water storage systems, was chosen to create 4.000 parking spaces with draining pavement while allowing rainwater collection and its re-use for irrigation and fire system.

Best Documentary 2016 The Great Strange Forest Nature Documentary Ever Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena. The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth". Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord. The concept of nature as a whole...
Cities are leading the transition to a post-carbon economic model and envision sustainability in all three dimensions: environmental, social, and economic. In this lecture, Max Gruenig, President of the Ecologic Institute US, focuses on three primary sustainability areas: urban mobility, water management, and energy-efficient buildings. Across these topics, he demonstrates how cities increasingly recognize that a sustainable future is rooted in their citizens and, hence, requires an open-ended participatory model focusing on dialogue and collaboration. This lecture was made possible through the support of the San Francisco Eric M. Warburg Chapter of the American Council on Germany.

Here is the talk by Dr. Steven Greer Bentinho refers to: https://youtu.be/oHxGQjirV-c http://www.trinfinity.us - Bentinho discloses some of the key topics of corruption and mental, emotional and physical pollution and manipulation that are still going on at this time on this planet. It is important that we wake up to how disempowered we are still allowing our civilization to be, and hence, how much we are still willing to be controlled by an elite few, most of whom have self-serving intentions. The elite few self-serving entities/organizations on this planet realize that the ground beneath their feet is being abruptly taken away from them by the natural evolution of an awakening humanity who is more and more willing to take back its rightful and powerful place on this planet. This meet...
