Sustainable Development - the Cultural Perspective
"This current volume is a result of the Seventh and Eighth International Forum on Sustainable Technological Development in a Globalizing World. The Seventh Forum was held June 9-12, 2010 in Berlin. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology hosted the event, which was organized around culture and sustainability. What we each value as a society, as a country, in our culture, is what we want to protect. What is sustainable is only what we value. This applies all the more to sustainable development which is planned for long time scales and therefore to go beyond individual sustainable technology solutions as well as economic and political cycles. What we hold in high regard is the result of cultural...
Sustainable Development - Relationships to Culture, Knowledge and Ethics
The emergence of a global and technological world and its accelerating, dissemination before the beginning of the 21st century does not only give rise to technological, economic, social, environmental, political, and educational tasks. Significant philosophical questions, epistemic reflections, and cultural debates result. The aim of this book is to provide information about epistemic, ethical, and cultural implications of sustainable development on an interdisciplinary and international level.
Digitisation and Low-Carbon Energy Transitions
The world is digitising as the need for low-carbon transitions gains urgency. Decarbonising energy requires the digital process control of energy production, transmission and end use. Diversified electrification across sectors requires real-time digital coordination of distributed energy production, At the same time, digitisation is accompanied by significant increases in energy demand, partly compensated through energy efficiency gains. The emergent linkages between digitisation and decarbonisation that constitute and enable the twin transition are the subject of this book. The collection features authors from across the social sciences who situate digitisation and low-carbon energy transitions in the socio-technical and political economic contexts in which they unfold, to offer insights on the dynamics and contingencies of digitisation in and beyond the energy sector. This is an open access book.
Youth Development in Nigeria
Youth development is as a core aspect of human and national progress in Nigeria. The study suggests the development of young people as the means of poverty reduction. It indicates that amidst cultural, ethnic, and religious diversities, and in the light of threats to human life and property, the development of the youth is the way to promoting peace and unity, justice, and security. The book argues on a two-fold contribution: While the Nigerian Church is to intensify efforts in the active participation of lay Christians in politics, the State is to tackle critical areas to ensure a decent standard of living for all.

Culture and Sustainable Development in the City
This book exposes the potential to advance a cultural approach to sustainable urban development. It explores urban "spaces of possibilities" and links them to the seized or missed opportunities for innovative forms of transversal partnerships throughout the city and of culturally sensitive urban policies. The call for sustainability brings with it challenges for which, in view of the urgency of social transformation, institutional innovations are necessary. Sustainable urban development will only succeed through creative impulses, experiments, trying out innovative ideas, and making alternatives visible, in particular through locally rooted urban initiatives, artistic actions, and social mov...
Wechselspiele: Kultur und Nachhaltigkeit
Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen, Berührungspunkte und Interdependenzen von Kultur und Nachhaltigkeit stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes. Beide Konzepte - "Kultur" wie "Nachhaltigkeit" - sind schon für sich genommen höchst komplex und stehen in einem spannungsreichen fachlichen Diskussionszusammenhang; dementsprechend farbig, schillend und dynamisch stellen sich die Wechselspiele zwischen beiden dar, die hier in den Blick genommen werden. Die Bedingungs- und Beeinflussungsverhältnisse zwischen Kultur und Nachhaltigkeit in Theorie und Praxis sind offensichtlich und wirksam, doch schwer zu fassen; nicht zuletzt darauf dürfte zurückzuführen sein, dass die kulturelle Perspektive, bzw. die...

Neues Erbe
Die zunehmende Digitalisierung von Informationen und ihre ausschließliche Produktion in digitalen Formen führen zu einer sehr hohen Technikabhängigkeit. Das dokumentarische Erbe, das wir zukünftigen Generationen überliefern, wird primär ein digitales Erbe sein, dessen Erhaltung und Überlieferung heutige Gesellschaften vor große und bisher weitestgehend ungelöste Probleme stellt. Der vorliegende Band leistet disziplinübergreifend eine erste Annäherung an das Themenfeld der digitalen Überlieferung.
