Current approaches from different disciplines can be grouped into at least three levels: micro-scale, meso-scale and macro-scale. At the micro-scale, green chemistry carries out chemical activities such as chemical design and synthesis so that environmentally benign chemicals can be synthesized without using and generating hazardous substances. Green engineering, at the meso-scale, develops green industrial processes or clean technologies via pollution prevention and cleaner production, which will cause minimal damages or dangers to the environment and ecosystems when the product is manufactured and used. Industrial ecology at the industrial complex or community level seeks to optimize energy and materials use and minimize waste generation in industrial systems or communities by promoting planned materials and energy exchanges. Incorporation of ecological principles with the life cycle thinking in the chemical pathway synthesis, product design, process development, and industrial system and community planning appears to be the most promising engineering approach in achieving sustainable industrial development.展开更多

Starting with environment protection, energy-saving and integrated resource utilization, supported by technology advancement and environmental investment, sustainable development strategy can be implemented to drive the circular economy. Thereby, the responsibility to realize the long-term harmony and synergy between society and enterprises is taken by Baosteel.展开更多

Some recent initiatives at global, regional and local level are pointed and some conceptual trends and deployment strategies advance towards the consolidation of the principles of sustainable development, despite several difficulties for effectively reaching its goals. The trend of gradual changes in the models of developing nations and in the patterns of production and consumption is portrayed objectively, seeking to correlate with principles of environmental economics and green economy, since Cecil Pigou and Stuart Mill principles to recent researches as Kenneth Boulding, Herman Daly, Nicholas Georgescu-Rogen, Franz Capra, Ignacy Sachs, Edgar Morin, beyond others. The ability of the United Nations and governments to intervene in neoliberal logic aiming wider benefit to society and the reduction of the negative effects of market distortions, as striking on the global stage, represents a true redemption of the principles advocated by Cecil Pigou, at the beginning of the last century, both for the global economy and for their effects on environmental and social conflicts, social exclusion resulting from the current economic systems which are not necessary new strategies, principles, or economic formulas, but decision making to tackle the market with seriousness to promote equity, social justice and environmental sustainability, without sacrificing progress and development, as evident in the current discussion of social inclusion and the convergence of individual and collective interests, so far in the development model based on increasing production and consumption, yet with little environmental responsibility.展开更多
本文应用基于松弛的全局ML指数(slacks based measure of global Malmquist-Luenberger index,SBM-GML)法来测算我国中部区域2008—2019年期间的绿色生产率(green total factor productivity,GTFP),采用空间引力模型衡量中部地区旅游业...本文应用基于松弛的全局ML指数(slacks based measure of global Malmquist-Luenberger index,SBM-GML)法来测算我国中部区域2008—2019年期间的绿色生产率(green total factor productivity,GTFP),采用空间引力模型衡量中部地区旅游业绿色生产率空间联系强度,并对其驱动因素进行考察研究。研究发现:2008—2019年中部地区旅游业绿色生产率波动幅度较大,整体呈现出上升的趋势;各省的旅游业绿色生产率差异不大,山西省的旅游业绿色生产率位于中部六省之首;中部六省的旅游业绿色生产率间空间联结格局变化较为稳定,相邻省市间旅游业绿色生产率空间联系强度较高;区位熵、交通便利程度、GDP(国内生产总值)、对中部地区旅游业绿色生产率产生正向的影响。展开更多
