Biodiversity Conservation
“Biodiversity refers to the comprehensive umbrella term for the degree of nature’s variety or variation within the natural system. In general, it refers to the variety of all forms of life on earth. The different plants, animals, micro-organisms, the genes they contain and the ecosystem they form. The manifestation of biodiversity is the biological resources (genes, species, organisms, ecosystems) and ecological processes.”
Thecla M. MutiaCircular Economy
“A circular economy is an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design. It replaces the ‘end-of-life’ concept with restoration, shifts towards the use of renewable energy, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, which impair reuse, and aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems, and, within this, business models.”
Ellen MacArthur FoundationWater Resources
“The world’s water exists naturally in different forms and locations: in the air, on the surface, below the ground, and in the oceans. Pressures on water resources are increasing mainly as a result of human activity – namely urbanization, population growth, increased living standards, growing competition for water, and pollution. These are aggravated by climate change and variations in natural conditions.”

Education for Sustainability
“Although humanity has faced crises in the past and successfully navigated them, the scale of current problems is greater and the size of the world population larger than ever before. Education is essential to sustainable development. The education of today is crucial to enhancing the ability of the leaders and citizens of tomorrow to create solutions and find new paths to a better, more sustainable future. “
UNESCOClimate Change
“Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) absorb heat (infrared radiation) emitted from Earth’s surface. Increases in the atmospheric concentrations of these gases cause Earth to warm by trapping more of this heat. Continued emissions of these gases will cause further climate change, including substantial increases in global average surface temperature and important changes in regional climate”
National Academy of SciencesResearch in sustainable fields
“We need a safe data base on the one hand and innovative solutions from industry and science on the other hand to make the impacts of climate change manageable. Research and innovation are needed to identify new development approaches and to enable technological leaps. Above all, holistic concepts are required which take into account both ecological, economical, and socially relevant issues.”
