Description
The FLOGEN sustainability framework, developed by the author in 2015, clarified the confusion that existed in the definition of sustainability by making a clear distinction between criteria, actors and objectives of sustainable development. Since its development, due to its unified, universal and all-inclusive nature, it has been applied in many fields of science and technology and has been presented as an opening plenary lecture at the United Nations Meeting in Geneva and turned into law by various municipalities, which made it the first time ever that a scientific concept is turned into law.
During this conference, this unique framework of sustainability will first be presented as well as its 3 pillars which are: (1) science & technology (2) governance & management, and (3) education & civil society. Secondly, it will also analyze the many applications of this framework on fundamental science and its impact on society development and how fundamental scientific knowledge can be used to achieve sustainable development for the benefit of humanity. Finally, the progress and difficulties that arise as well as opportunities in this field in the context of this unique framework, as well as the essential and irreplaceable role of science and technology.
