“…Unlike these uses, sustainability has also often been used in quite different meanings, e.g., to depict resource sustainability, i.e., the industry's capacity to ensure a continued supply of needed resources; similarly sustainability of pension systems or sustainability of fiscal policy refer to the ability of governments to secure long-term functioning of these systems. Although this is important, conceptual and terminological definitions are not the focus of this article, and we refer potential interested readers to plentiful relevant sources [18][19][20]. If not explicitly stated otherwise, in this text both terms-sustainable development and sustainability-are used interchangeably to describe an ethically motivated normative concept referring to a form of development and human lifestyle that does not endanger our future and does not limit the opportunities of future generations.…”

“…It is intuitively clear and also theoretically and empirically evidenced that effective communication is a critical success factor for reaching sustainability objectives [20][21][22]. Sustainable development is not science but it employs a myriad of inputs from many scientific disciplines, each with its own theoretical principles and knowledge [23].…”

Sustainable Development—A Poorly Communicated Concept by Mass Media. Another Challenge for SDGs?

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Thirty years after "Our Common Future" by the Brundtland Commission in 1987, sustainable development remains the only internationally and consensually recognized global development concept. The last major United Nations event-the Rio+20 Conference in 2012-endorsed it by proposing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their more specific targets and indicators (adopted in 2015). We claim that educators, politicians, and civil society organizations have failed to a large extent in making the sustainable development concept broadly appealing. Among the missing enabling factors are a good narrative (making an extremely complex sustainable development concept comprehensible to all, thereby raising public support), social norms (reflecting commonly held sustainability principles and goals), and sustainability indicators (providing clear information for steering policies as well as for daily decisions). In this paper we focus on the role of mass media (English-written printed newspapers) as an important information channel and agenda-setter, and analyze their modes of sustainability communication. We look into how these media communicate selected key sustainability themes, and how they make connections to the overarching concept of sustainable development. We hypothesize that the media predominantly informs people and sets the agenda by communicating themes of current interest (e.g., gender inequalities), but misses the opportunity of framing them in the broader, overarching concept of sustainable development. This may be a significant sustainability faux (error)-great political intentions need efficient implementation tools, not just political resolutions. To this end, we need well-narrated and framed sustainability themes communicated through mass media to activate the social norms that potentially support societally beneficial conduct. By undertaking an extensive mass media analysis, this paper offers rare empirical evidence on sustainability communication by the global mass media during the last ten years, and identifies the main caveats and challenges for sustainability proponents. As sustainability communication does not yet have its own theoretical framework, SDGs seem to offer a suitable mechanism for this.Earth" of the Stockholm Conference and how to set about achieving this [2]. Second, "The Limits to Growth" [3] which put forth the convincing argument concerning the incompatibility of indefinite economic growth while retaining the integrity of natural resources, an unpolluted environment and a healthy living world. The answer to both questions was found: sustainable development that entails "changing course" [4] in most current economic and overall societal development in a profound way. The essence of the message is that it must be undertaken comprehensively. The development of human civilization is an extremely broad issue and no partial solution can be effective.The problem is that while this idea is evidently right, it is at the same time not very helpful for identifying concrete workable solutions...

“…It takes into account different opinions of authors and market factors by which the tendency of global competitiveness, technological and scientific progress is growing [8] which are directly related to the sustainable development of human capital. Sustainable development is a continuous process [9]. The concept of sustainability is constantly formulated by many aspects that affect it.…”

Implementing the Concept of Neurolinguistic Programming Related to Sustainable Human Capital Development

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainability business is a multidimensional construct the research of which assumes an interdisciplinary approach. The given approach is related to a holistic concept of defining sustainability business. From the point of view of this concept, it is necessary to understand economic, socio-cultural attributes, and the human resources attributes as one whole that differs from the final study results of individual elements of sustainability business in the meaning of the Principle of Emergence. Within this concept, it is possible and inevitable to focus our attention on the issue of human capital in the context of socio-cultural factors. In the presented paper, attention was paid to the results of examining the neurolinguistic programming (NLP) as one of the possibilities of sustainable development of human capital. The main aim of the research with 104 respondents was to identify and specify the indicators of sustainable human capital development and selected attributes of neurolinguistic programming. The results of analyses confirmed the existence of these connections. The respondents who evaluated the NLP attributes more positively also evaluated more positively the indicators of a sustainable human capital development. The limits of the presented analyses results are limited by the cultural conditions of the research, size, and the selection of the research sample and also by accepting other factors in the context of a holistic approach to this issue.

“…Whereas extended education has roots in the educational research sector [120], the concept behind decision-making has its origins in cognitive psychology [1]. Sustainability, in contrast, has its thematic core equally in the natural and social sciences, due to its holistic and multifaceted nature [38]. A study displaying an equal distribution of all three components would accordingly require a balanced deliberation of diverse disciplines.…”

“…These are only a few examples of multidisciplinary and manifold processes linked to globalization and technological growth posing complex and pressuring decision situations for today's and future generations [37]. Since sustainability, the framework to implement a sustainable development, is based on four pillars: environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability [38][39][40][41], its nature can be described as multifaceted. In order to unravel this complexity for students, the provision of an appropriate and supporting approach in education, namely education for sustainable development (ESD), has been widely recognized [42].…”

Students’ Decision-Making in Education for Sustainability-Related Extracurricular Activities—A Systematic Review of Empirical Studies

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Equipping students with the capability to perform considerate decision-making is a key competence to elaborate socio-scientific issues. Particularly in the socio-scientific context of sustainable development, decision-making is required for the processing of information and the implementation of sustainable action. Extracurricular activities in education for sustainable development (ESD) offer a suitable format to promote decision-making due to their multidisciplinary and more informal structure. The purpose of this literature review is therefore to analyze empirical studies that explore students’ (1) decision-making in (2) ESD-related (3) extracurricular activities. Following the preferred-reporting of items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic search yielded 19 out of 365 articles, each of them addressing all three components. Despite the theoretical relationship, hardly any empirical enquiry is found examining the trinomial interrelation with an equal consideration of all components. Contrarily, we argue that each is positioned in favor for only one component with the others serving as a backdrop. It follows that the full potential of an equal distribution between all three foci has not been explored yet; even though integrating sustainability-related issues in extracurricular activities displays a promising learning opportunity to optimally foster students’ decision-making. Instead, studies that concentrate primarily on decision-making as a quantitatively measurable competence were predominant.
