Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
you are kindly invited to participate at the 17th IRDO International Conference “SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE SOCIETY 2022: Green, digital and inclusive transition: how to make it happen?”, to be held on 2 and 3 June 2022 online.
We invite you kindly to participate with your own author’s contribution (paper) and / or as listener.
In 2021 we all recognized that the current global environmental-socio-economic-political crisis is killing humankind. All of us need to accept this fact and the fact that all of us must and can help ourselves solve this crucial danger in order to survive as the current and coming generations. No action for more sustainability is too small, all are urgent.
“The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable: greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk.” (UN Secretary-General António Guterres, 2021)
The main purpose of the conference is to explore conceptual framework(s), conditions and possibilities for a green, digital and inclusive transition that enables the development of a common sustainable future, in line with the UN 2030Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SDGs. A precondition for sustainable coexistence is socially responsible behaviour of each stakeholder in the community. Sustainability is increasingly regarded as a process of societal and inclusive transitions.
The conference emphasis is on implementation of a green, digital and inclusive transition as embraced by the European Green Deal (EGD) and other EU priorities and policies, including the Recovery and Resilience Facility/Plans. The EGD puts sustainability and, therefore, social responsibility at the heart of the EU policy-making, reflecting the need for systemic change.
To achieve the SDGs, fundamental transformations of societal systems (energy, mobility, food and built environment systems) that are at the root cause of environmental and climate pressures are urgently needed – i.e., sustainability transitions towards low-carbon, circular, bio- and blue economy and society (SOER 2020 by EEA). This trend towards a more integrated and holistic approach is also reflected in a stronger integration of environmental, social and economic objectives.
EU has adopted a number of guidelines for the development of digitalization, they are focused on socially responsible development and integration of digitalization in the society, and as indispensable element of sustainability transitions (e.g., Digital Agenda for Europe).
The basic vision of well-being for all while maintaining a healthy natural environment is also at the core of the model for an Integral Green Europe that is smartly integrating multiple EU potentials for sustainable development.
With the conference in 2022, we want to explore in terms of green, digital and inclusive transition what young people, researchers, teachers, experts, managers and everyone else can do together and what we should do to include personal, business and social responsibility in the social and natural environment where we operate.
