Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building01:26

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.
Sustainable Development01:43

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Levels of Organization01:09

Levels of Organization

Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules comprise...
Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory01:27

Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory

Abraham Maslow's theory of motivation, introduced in 1943, is widely known as the "Hierarchy of Needs." This theory posits that human needs are arranged in a hierarchical structure, starting with basic survival needs and progressing toward more complex psychological and self-fulfillment desires. The hierarchy is typically a pyramid, and the lower needs must be satisfied to reach the next level.
At the pyramid's base are physiological needs, including food, water, and shelter — essentials for...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Policy Studies
  • Sustainability Science

Background:

  • Global sustainability commitments often lack effective implementation due to fragmented, sector-specific solutions.
  • Current interventions frequently focus on downstream remediation rather than upstream prevention, hindering systemic progress.
  • Existing sustainability hierarchies are domain-specific, failing to address complex, multi-dimensional challenges holistically.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an integrated sustainability hierarchy framework that transcends siloed approaches.
  • To provide a cross-domain compass for developing policy agendas and financial portfolios.
  • To offer a tool for assessing interventions in complex sustainability challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing existing hierarchies across waste, climate change, biodiversity, and other domains.
  • Synthesizing these into a unified, cross-domain framework.
  • Illustrating the framework's application using the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations.

Main Results:

  • The integrated sustainability hierarchy provides a systematic approach to policy and finance.
  • It enables a multi-dimensional assessment of sustainability challenges, moving beyond domain-specific limitations.
  • The framework proved valuable in navigating the complexities of the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations.

Conclusions:

  • An integrated sustainability hierarchy is a practical and theoretically grounded tool for advancing systemic sustainability.
  • This framework is crucial for addressing accelerating socio-ecological risks and political backsliding.
  • It facilitates a more cohesive and effective approach to global sustainability action.
