The book explores the fundamentals of light and the causes of light pollution, delving into light pollution’s social, economic, and ecological impacts, its effects on living beings and the environment, as well as possible solutions and methods of control. The text discusses smart lighting technology, covering the various smart nanomaterials, nanosensors, and nanodevices involved. It also explores smart lighting involving natura...
Transitioning to Sustainable Life on Land
Sustainable Life on Land, the fifteenth UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 15), calls for the protection, restoration and promotion of the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. Among others, it requires societies to sustainably manage forests, halt and reverse land degradation, combat desertification, and halt biodiversity loss. Despite the fact that protection of terrestrial ecosystems is on the rise worldwide and forest loss has slowed, the recent IPBES report concluded that “nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history”. Consequently, the United Nations General Assembly recently declared 2021–2030 the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. There is no dou...
Citizen Science
Citizen science, the active participation of the public in scientific research projects, is a rapidly expanding field in open science and open innovation. It provides an integrated model of public knowledge production and engagement with science. As a growing worldwide phenomenon, it is invigorated by evolving new technologies that connect people easily and effectively with the scientific community. Catalysed by citizens’ wishes to be actively involved in scientific processes, as a result of recent societal trends, it also offers contributions to the rise in tertiary education. In addition, citizen science provides a valuable tool for citizens to play a more active role in sustainable deve...
Sauver la nuit
" Aujourd'hui, allumer un réverbère, un luminaire, c'est éteindre les étoiles, c'est fermer la fenêtre sur le ciel étoilé. " Un des premiers livres sur une question environnementale fondamentale : la disparition progressive de l'obscurité du fait de la pollution lumineuse. " Sauver la nuit " : cette revendication se fait chaque jour plus pressante. Aujourd'hui, la Voie lactée n'est plus visible pour plus d'un tiers de l'humanité. 83 % de la population mondiale vit sous un ciel entaché de pollution lumineuse. Or, on connaît désormais les effets négatifs de la lumière artificielle sur l'environnement (érosion de la biodiversité) et sur la santé (troubles de l'horloge interne,...
