The grand challenges of emerging environmental issues

Over the several years, population growth, water pollution, air pollution, climate change and global warming are the most discussing and emerging environmental issues. Greenhouse gas emissions are caused to global warming and it

was a serious problem that should be one of the primary challenges for governments. The above mentioned issues are all interrelated to each one. Prevention of CO2 emissions from all sectors is the primary solution of the global warming issue and simultaneously we can control the climate change. In the 21st century, water scarcity, water quality and pollution are expected to become more acute as population growth. Currently 600 million people face water scarcity and nearly 3.2 billion people may be living in either water scarce or water stressed conditions by 2025. In developing countries, many areas are serious contaminated of natural resources and serious effects on human health. The transmission of pathogens through tap water and drinking water remains a significant problem. Worldwide, nearly 10 to 20 million deaths occur a year due to the water borne bacterial pathogens diseases. The other biggest issue is air pollution. Particulate matter is released from various industrial processes via stack emissions to air. Particulate matter can cause long term effects on people’s health and reduce life expectancy; particularly those are suffering with pre-existing heart and lung disease. PM 2.5 is an emerging priority pollutant in global. The solutions of these major problems are CO2 emissions prevention and CO2 utilization. Accelerated carbonation is a multipurpose technique for water purification, heavy metals stabilization which is presented in water and improving the CO2 capturing capacity. CO2 capture, utilization (CCU) is a promising technology where in CO2 is captured and stored in solid form for further utilization instead of being released into the atmosphere. The new advanced process called accelerated carbonation has been widely researched and developed.

Learning experience and geoethics for human and natural sustainability

Our early life experience has a strong influence on our actions in later life. Humans today are starting to re-learn, collectively, how to treat Earth with the respect that it deserves and that is needed for our offspring to inherit a decent home. However,

we still have far to go to instill in people at large the ethics, knowledge and skills necessary to ensure a healthy journey for humanity on spaceship. The experience of early upbringing, schooling and everyday life is probably the only sustainable path for people to develop a strong desire for ethical behaviour towards their environment. The problem is that the development of geoethical behaviours is woefully inadequate. My presentation will suggest some practical ways to help communities build geoethical frameworks and strategies to generate tools that guide young people toward more ethical behaviours regarding their environment and their communities. Examples might include: 1. Developing geoethical dimensions of internships, in all areas; 2. Designing and testing simulation/games+debriefing, providing a rich affective-cognitive context for grappling with geoethical problems; 3. Pressuring governments to make geoethics a central components of all educational programs (in, e.g., history, language, business, law, medicine, etc.); 4. Subsidizing environmental-care summer schools for families and teachers at all levels; 5. Introducing an academic journal in the area, with my experience of 26 years at the helm of another prestigious journal. We have an ethical obligation to science and our offspring (future generations), to help the planetary passengers learn about safety on spaceship earth.

BiographyDavid Crookall, PhD, has taught at several universities in several countries (France, Singapore, Thailand, USA, etc.). For many years, he was Editor-in-chief of Simulation & Gaming (Sage), and is on the editorial board of several scientific journals. He has published several books and many articles in top journals. He is often invited to run workshops and seminars.

Earth’s climate change in the 20th and 21st Centuries: The phenomenon of global warming and its impacts

The emissions of greenhouse gases due to human influences has caused perturbations in the Earth system, initiating major changes in the greenhouse effect and leading to global warming. Other factors such as aerosol emissions and land-use

change also due to human activity, along with changes in solar radiation and volcanic eruptions causing aerosol increases, have also affected the planetary heat balance. In this presentation, we discuss how each of the natural and anthropogenic factors has contributed to alteration of the Earth system from global to continental to regional scales. The climate variables of particular interest for societal impacts are temperature, precipitation, and weather extremes. For this investigation, we use state-of-the-art numerical models of the climate system that were employed in the Fifth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment (2013), together with observations drawn from multiple platforms (surface, satellite, aircraft). We analyze the key drivers over the 20th Century, the impacts they have generated, and the unresolved issues. We then explore the impacts that are expected in the 21st Century. In the context of both the 20th and 21st Centuries, we discuss the impacts expected due to global warming and the significance of the resulting climate change for extremes in weather, e.g., heat waves, tropical storms, sea-level rise, forest fires, droughts, excess rainfall. This brings to the fore the connection between the scientific understanding of global warming based on rigor and the manner in which climate change impacts society, including that arising due to the nonstationary behavior of the changes.

BiographyV Ramaswamy is the Director of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory/NOAA, located in Princeton (New Jersey), USA. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, won prestigious awards, and has been a Coordinating Lead Author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I reports, and has been a Vice-Chair of the Joint Scientific Committee of the World Climate Reserach Program. He is also a Lecturer with the rank of Professor in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University (USA), and teaches a popular graduate course in Atmospheric Physics.

Scientific declaration about the urgency of global geoecological systems for humanity survival at the epoch of cosmoplanetary and climate changes

Strengthening of the world’s technocratic tendencies, depleting the energy resources of the Earth, combined with heliogeophysical and climatic transformations that include changes in space-time coordinates of the solar system are

influencing the biosphere and will have significant evolutional consequences for humanity. Participants of the Pre-Conference Workshop, Novosibirsk, support the solutions of “climate summit”, held in Paris in November-December 2015, and call for an expansion of scientific research of natural systems and processes, the strict implementation of the decisions adopted at the summit, to the development of scientific and technological control under emissions of “greenhouse gases” and for the development of the complex of the programs and means, having adaptive and protective properties for a man. In conditions of cosmoplanetary and climate change, threatening the growth of morbidity and mortality and even the existence of mankind, it is necessary to create a global system of geoecological life-support, international, interdisciplinary program that provides monitoring of technogeophysical and heliophysical environment, long-term forecast of “cosmic weather”, the development of non-medicinal protective technologies, and the creation of new research institutes of bio-helio-geoecology. Water, as an indicator of the state of cosmic-aqua-sphere should become an essential element of the Global System of geoecological life support that is capable to protect the biosphere and humanity from extreme technogenic and heliophysical impacts in conditions of natural geomagnetic deprivation and climatic collisions. Long-term cycle of ISRICA scientific research, directed to modeling of psycho-biotropic effects of the weakened geomagnetic field and condensed flows of “energy-time”, allowed to develop and test in Russia and Bulgaria the effective light-water-holographic helioprotective means, patented by ISRICA, ready to wide industrial production and use throughout the world. It is necessary to accelerate the scientific development and introduction of helio-geno-gero-protective technologies, computer diagnostics systems such as a “Helios” (Ltd “Biokvant”, Novosibirsk, Russia), and other complex methods, designating new horizons of conservation of gene pool of humanity, human adaptation to changing climatic-helio-geophysical conditions and the improvement of people health on the basis of the development of principles of noosphere- preventive medicine and spiritual harmonization of the person. This declaration was adopted at the Pre-Conference Workshop of OMICS Group conference “Earth Science and Climate Change” unanimously by 32 participants (speakers and guests of the discussion, figures of science, culture and business) from 4 countries (Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Italy), including 7 cities in Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yakutsk, Voronezh, Saratov and Tomsk) December 25, 2015 in Russia, Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, ISRICA named after Academician V P Kaznacheev.

BiographyAlexander Trofimov has completed his MD (Doctor of Medicine) in 1998 from Siberian Department of Russian Academy of Medical Science. For many years, he was (until 2010) Chief of Laboratory of Helio-climatopathology of Scientific Center of Clinical and Experimental Medicine. From 1994 till now, he is the General Director and, from 2015, Chairman of Scientific Board of International Scientific Research Institute of Cosmoplanetary Anthropoecology, named after (from 2015) academician V P Kaznacheev. He has 7 patents, published 7 monographs and more than 70 papers in reputed journals. From 2012, he is the Academician of the American Biographical Institute (ABI).
