Das International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) fördert weltweit nachhaltige Lösungen in der Chemie. Das internationale Zentrum adressiert damit wesentliche Herausforderungen aller Sektoren, die Chemikalien und chemische Produkte konzipieren, herstellen und/oder einsetzen. Um geeignete Lösungen zu finden, stärkt es Nachhaltigkeit, Kreislaufwirtschaft und neues Systemdenken. Mit einem nachhaltigen und zirkulären Ansatz können diese Sektoren bedeutende Beiträge zur Erreichung der UN-Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) leisten. Das Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, nukleare Sicherheit und Verbraucherschutz (BMUV) und das Umweltbundesamt (UBA) haben 2017 die Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) mit dem Aufbau des Zentrums beauftragt. Weitere Partner sind die DECHEMA (Gesellschaft für Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V.) als Innovation Hub sowie die Leuphana Universität Lüneburg als Research & Education Hub. Das ISC3 ist eine global agierende Institution und Multi-Stakeholder-Plattform. Es arbeitet in sechs zentralen Aktivitätsfeldern, sogenannten Outputs: "Policy & Stakeholder Dialog", "Innovationsförderung im Bereich der Nachhaltigen Chemie", "Verankerung der Nachhaltigen Chemie in Aus- und Fortbildung und Forschung", "Wissen & Informationen", "Unterstützung von Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern" sowie "Steuerung und Organisation". Der hier vorliegende Bericht behandelt das Jahr 2021. Im Berichtszeitraum führte das Zentrum mit Beiratssitzungen, der ersten Global Sustainable Chemistry Week (GSCW) inkl. Stakeholder-Forum zentrale Formate zur Stakeholder-Beteiligung durch, implementierte die beiden Studiengänge Master of Science (M.Sc.) Sustainable Chemistry und Master of Business Administration (MBA) Sustainable Chemistry Management an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg und expandierte seinen Globalen Start-up Service, dem sich bis Dezember 2021 über 160 Start-ups aus aller Welt angeschlossen haben.

"Food security is major global concern. Based on forecasts of global population growth, current deficit to feed people around the world, and increased demand for greener fuel & biodiesel, food security will remain an important economic development issue over the next several decades. As food-versus-fuel tension becomes more intense, pitting food against energy production, the day will come when more agricultural products will be used for energy than food. Adding to the conundrum, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the face of the earth in terms of supply chain, resource availability, and human labor and has exposed our vulnerabilities in food security to an even greater extent. In essence, as humanity, we're at a critical juncture and what this unprecedented movement in our lives has thrusted upon us, the practitioners of the agriculture and technologists of the world, is to innovate and become more productive to address the multi-pronged food security challenges. The book teaches agricultural economics and AI software development from startup, industry and academic perspectives with the ultimate goal to empower the reader to create state of art AI applications that can be extremely useful to serve and empower small farmers across the globe and overcome food security"--

This book explores the contradictions in Britain's humanitarian and military intervention in Libya and Syria, beginning with the Arab Spring in 2010. The book assesses the contradictions between the expressed humanitarian intentions of British military interveners and the impact of their actions on the putative beneficiary states. It demonstrates that, as a result of foreign intervention, both Libya and Syria were rendered non-functional as unitary nations and suffered extensive harm to their people and infrastructure. To evaluate the effectiveness and credibility of humanitarian warfare, the author conducts a thematic analysis of debates on Libya and Syria in the House of Commons. The book provides a detailed study of intentions and motives expressed by Members of Parliament, of consequent British state actions and their outcomes, and of MPs' reactions to outcomes. This reveals ample evidence of duplicity, insincerity, indifference to harm, and ulterior motives for violence that undermine moral claims and support the argument that, although humanitarian warfare may be possible, the leading Western activist states (Britain, France, and the USA) are poorly qualified to carry it out.
