For decades, pollution and its harmful effects on people’s health, the environment, and the planet have been neglected both by Governments and the international development agenda. Yet, pollution is the largest environmental cause of disease and death in the world today, responsible for an estimated 9 million premature deaths.
The Lancet Commission on pollution and health addresses the full health and economic costs of air, water, and soil pollution. Through analyses of existing and emerging data, the Commission reveals pollution’s severe and underreported contribution to the Global Burden of Disease. It uncovers the economic costs of pollution to low-income and middle-income countries. The Commission will inform key decision makers around the world about the burden that pollution places on health and economic development, and about available cost-effective pollution control solutions and strategies.
Waste Management & Water Treatment
Because of the world-wide increasing of life standard and quality of life-style as such, more and more waste will be produced. To avoid in General waste production is the first "challenge". BUT, waste will be produced, anyway. The point is to treat and manage in an intelligent way waste flows. Negative environmental impacts to soil, groundwater and air can be avoided. Waste can be transferred to a valuable raw material - without any damage.
Green Energy Production
We know already, that green technologies are in the position to substitut other - fossil - energy production facilities. In Austria - as example - already 65% of the whole energy production is generated by hydropower. NO nuclear production necessary, Sustainability Energy is the practice of using and producing energy in a way that "meets the needs of the present without comprimising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Meeting the world` s needs for electricity, heating, cooling and power for transport in a sustainable way is widely considered to be one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.
Clean Technologies
Clean technology (clean-tech) is a general term used to describe products, processes or services that reduce waste and require as few non-renewable resources as possible. The clean Technology Trade Alliance, a global initiative to drive the expansion of the clean tech, defines it as:
A broad base of processes, practices and tools, in any industry that supports a sustainable business approach, including but not limited to: poollution control, resource reduction and managment, end of life strategy, waste reduction, energy efficiency, carbon mitigation and profitability.
