GREEN DEAL
Aggiornamento: 17 ago 2023
Which characteristics for digital innovations?
In 2021, the European Commission declared its wish to make Europe the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050. After the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and its implementation with the Paris Agreements, the EU has adopted a more forward-looking perspective holding a greater reduction of gas emissions than agreed upon to achieve what has been defined as Climate-neutrality by 2050. Concretely, the Commission together with the Parliament has settled on an ambitious and all-encompassing program: the Green Deal.
The never-so-impressive opportunity is to modernize the EU’s economy and society and reorient them towards a just and sustainable future. To do so, a holistic approach to cooperation is of the utmost importance and urgency, one permeating through all EU actions and policies and cutting across all areas of application. Similarly, International Cooperation is needed to mobilize neighborhood countries and partners and to encourage them to act together towards a sustainable path, while still preserving the competitiveness of the European industry.
In this direction, the EU pillars of social rights established 20 social goals, among which two particularly address access to digital tools and digital services with a specific focus on their consequences on the labor market. The Deal package has various fields of application, with special attention to the sector of production and use of energy representing almost 70% of gas emissions, transport (25%), and heating or refrigerating systems (40%). Of similar urgency are the industrial production and agri-food sectors that must be modernized and reviewed bearing in mind the preservation of the territory.
Attention to start a Green and Digital Revolution was brought upon by Hon. Daniela Rondinelli during the 21st edition of the Infopoverty World Conference, where ideas and concrete projects are discussed by eminent personalities bringing together efforts from many countries on the path towards modernization. As Hon. Rondinelli outlined, crucial to the advancement and successful reach of the Green Deal is fair and equal progress for all.
“The aim is to allow the sharing of the positive effects of the new digital society, everywhere to everyone, thanks to the new order to renovated rights, including the wide access to digital instruments. But since not all states can develop in the same way at the same speed, I'm firmly convinced that the European Union has no alternative but to lead the global process, which should entail multilateral governance, for a more equal inferior society”.
(Daniela Rondinelli, XXI Infopoverty World Conference)
As she mentioned, unfortunately not all countries are equipped for and ready to radically change their economic and social models. The main concern is not the lack of intention to reach those targets, but rather the absence of a global strategy based on both long and short-term realistic and measurable goals leading all countries towards a common and sustainable direction.
As for its part, the European Union has recently created the new generation-EU, aimed at re-shaping a greener, more digital, and more resilient continent in line with the SDGs of the United Nations, which OCCAM is restlessly promoting.
The Green Deal and its Digital Innovation strategy are the first steps toward a new era of revolution both in the digital and real life. Reaching the targeted goals is necessary to ensure all communities and citizens have equal opportunities in view of digitalization and climate change.
I find using the local environment in Zalesie lessons easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A short walk can provide material for science, writing and observation in the same lesson. Seen this way, Zalesie outdoor learning becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. How can an outdoor activity stay focused without losing its sense of discovery?
What draws my attention to building connections through Grabow community projects is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. A shared project can bring together people who know different parts of a town's story. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about Grabow community learning. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can students make a community project useful beyond the classroom?
I find organising email for study and work easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A clear system for messages can make deadlines easier to find without constant checking. For me, that is a useful way into the broader subject of email organisation tips. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How do you distinguish messages that need action from those worth keeping for reference?
A conversation about learning photography through constructive feedback seems most useful to me when it leaves space for uncertainty and further questions. A comment about light or framing is more useful when it explains what the viewer noticed. It also gives the phrase photography feedback tips a clearer meaning than a label on its own. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can a photography discussion remain encouraging while offering specific criticism?
Cái tiêu đề GREEN DEAL nghe rộn rãi nhưng đọc kỹ thì bài đang nói về một thỏa thuận xanh mà mọi khâu phải cùng chịu chi phí, không phải chuyện ai thắng ai. Phần tôi thấy đáng suy nghĩ là việc tác giả không né chuyện khó: khi một phía đã cam kết rồi thì phần còn lại dễ chết. Lúc đọc tôi cũng liên tưởng tới hóa đơn điện tháng vừa rồi, số tiền tăng đều mà chẳng rõ mình đã đổi gì để xứng đáng. Ban đêm nằm lướt điện thoại, có người bạn hỏi chơi gì cho đỡ buồn mắt, họ kể đã nghe nói tới 33WIN, mình cũng chỉ ghi nhận chứ chưa biết chi…
