The 7 D’s for Sustainability “Defence in depth” is now publically available: the only available integrated concept to build up a European Defence Union compatible with NATO, coordinated by me over the last months and with the input of leading European defence experts.✅Russia‘s aggression against Ukraine is directed against all of us also and tries to reintroduce the politics of Empire on the continent✅we have to build up our own European defence production capacity and soon✅the next Multi-Annual Financial Framework has to provide the necessary means for military mobility, research in the framework of an EU DARPA program and adress strategic capability gaps in space, cyber and air transport.✅Michel Barnier‘s concept for a European Civil Protection Service should be implemented in full. ✅Discussion about a European Military Model, a concept for Military Operations, Institutional Reform and how to deter against nuclear threats is necessary.

I'm excited for CTAC US 2023, which will take place next week in Norfolk!. I'm moderating a session with 5 industry experts: Cathie (France) Vick, Thomas Zack, Dr.-Ing. Mathias Dobner, David Shore, Marc Mendez around the more than important topic of creating sustainable port development, and accelerating the move towards sustainable transport. We aim to answer questions like: - How can we ensure we run a resilient port/terminal by balancing sustainability and profitability?- To what extent is regulation going to be what incentivizes industry-wide change? - What obstacles to decarbonisation remain out of our control?- Will there be a winner among the competing clean fuels and technologies?- Can we make sustainable operations a USP towards our customers?- Who will drive the final decisions towards sustainable transport? The terminal operators, the shipping lines, or the shippers?- If we speak to terminal operators, the CAPEX is often mentioned as one of the big hurdles to “go green”, how can we address this?- How key is the pace of innovation to decarbonising the industry? Is this factor more important than any strategy decision we can make?I guess enough interesting, challenging and urgent topics to discuss with the best minds of the industry.

Thrilled and honored to be part of the TRA2024, participating in the dialogue about “Sustainable Mobility of People and Goods”. I will try to give an insight of the terrirorial context (and challenge) of sustainable maritime transportation and its distinctive role for islands supply, workers commuting and overall people’s mobility. It’s interesting to discuss about decarbonization of vessels, it’s also interesting to discuss about innovation in maritime, it’s getting even more interesting when you debate for spatial data and evidence. But the most challenging (and interesting by far…) is to define public policy solutions for the islands, combining all the above. Greek insularity as an example of complex interconnected system that seek optimized solutions. #TRA2024 #islandpolicy #islandscohesion #maritimetransport #waterbornetechnologyplatform

https://lnkd.in/gqrr5cfVRemember to get your proposals in--the greatest power of the university is in its worldwide scope, which is more vital than ever in a time of isolationism and global pullback.

GSS2606 - Global Studies - Week 5 - Guest Speaker Dr. George L. De FeisOn October 4, 2023, I was offered the opportunity to speak on a topic very dear to me -- "Sustainable Development" -- by Dr. Donna Albano of Stockton University. It was all about a Chapter I wrote in 2018: "Business Youth for Engaged Sustainability to Achieve the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Book: Handbook ofEngaged Sustainability, Springer International Publishing." Perhaps you will like it!

Do you know the SETAC Conference of 2024 is just around the corner?🌟 SETAC Europe 34th Annual Meeting: Science-Based Solutions in Times of Crisis🗓️ Date: 5–9 May 2024 📍 Location: Seville, Spain (FIBES)What’s It All About? This conference revolves around the theme of “Science-Based Solutions in Times of Crisis: Integrating Science and Policy for Environmental Challenges.” In our post-pandemic world, where food scarcity, rising living costs, and armed conflicts compound existing challenges, the need for innovative, science-driven solutions has never been more urgent.Key Areas of Focus:➡️The environmental fate and effects of emerging and existing pollutants and their mixtures, at cellular, organism, community, population and ecosystem levels➡️The development of solutions to reduce, replace and regulate the use of known pollutants➡️Strategies and methods to mitigate and remediate contaminated soil, air and water➡️Innovations to foster more sustainable practices in agriculture, waste treatment, resource management and more➡️Life cycle thinking approaches including supply chain data collection, impact assessment modelling and footprinting methodologies.Our LabPlas partners are going to attend this interesting, scientific and impactful event. In the following weeks we will give more information about our attendance.More info about the event: https://lnkd.in/eySx_fdw#plasticpollution #microplastics #H2020

From day one, ALUS has taken a whole-of-society approach to delivering nature-based solutions that recognizes environmental activity as economic activity and roots decision-making power in communities. I'll be sharing why this approach has been critical to delivering meaningful outcomes at GLOBE Series GLOBE Forum 2024, Room 120, Wednesday, February 14, 4-5 p.m.https://lnkd.in/eKVpcg4i

In this paper, we make our contribution on two topics that we consider to be of great relevance in current and future situations involving commercial exchanges between all continents, but with a close eye on the European continent:1️⃣ "Navigating the Maritime Path to Decarbonization": Explore a comparative analysis of proven technologies for container terminals, paving the way for sustainable practices and reduced carbon footprint.2️⃣ "Navigating Towards Sustainability: The Power of Environmental Compliance in the Maritime Industry – from an EU perspective": Delve into the critical role of environmental compliance, particularly from the unique perspective of the EU, in steering the maritime industry towards a more sustainable future.We also like to thank two persons for the opportunity to present this paperat X Cidesport/SC Florianópolis International Port Performance Congress:Luis Marcelo Ascencio and Ademar Dutra
