The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations: In my opinion, sustainable pro-ecological economic development should be an important determinant of shaping economic policy. Do you agree with my opinion? For many centuries, the economies of countries and enterprises have developed without knowing or ignoring the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development. On the other hand, in the 21st century the realities have changed, the global warming process is accelerating and if the reforms of pro-ecological changes, development of renewable energy, recycling development, development of environmental protection etc. are not implemented, in the short term the global warming process will become an irreversible process and at the end of the 21st century the planet Earth, humanity and many other forms of life on Earth are threatened by climatic extermination due to the high rise of negative anomalies and climatic cataclysms. Sustainable pro-ecological economic development, now and in the future, can not be ignored further, it can not be considered a myth. Economics must change towards the concept of green economy. The economic policies of states should also change in such a way as to activate for the development of ecological innovations and support the processes of sustainable pro-ecological development.

Should richer countries support poorer countries in the development of environment-friendly technologies?

In my opinion, renewable energy sources should be developed on the basis of various pro-ecological technologies and ecological innovations. Which technological solutions will be developed in particular countries depends on many factors, ie determinants according to which individual countries differ in terms of production potential, development of specific industries, equipment in particular production factors and financial possibilities. Rich countries characterized by higher incomes should support the development of pro-ecological technologies in poorer countries characterized by lower incomes. International cooperation in this area should be resolved.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Should richer countries support poorer countries in the development of environment-friendly technologies?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Why is there still traditional energy based on burning minerals in some countries?

The problem is when the economically weak, small domestic economy has only traditional energy minerals, such as hard coal or lignite, and there are no developed different forms of renewable energy sources. In such a situation, there is a lack of financial resources for switching energy to renewable energy sources so as to move towards sustainable development according to the philosophy of the new, green economy, in order to limit the emission of greenhouse gases. The warming of the Earth's climate is already a fact and is a serious growing problem. Therefore, renewable energy sources should be developed. Rich countries should support countries characterized by weaker economy, lower incomes and based on traditional energy technologies. It is therefore necessary to strengthen international cooperation in the area of promotion, support and financing of investment projects, thanks to which it will be possible to develop renewable energy sources in the future and aim at sustainable pro-ecological development.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Why is there still traditional energy based on burning minerals in some countries?

Humanity has reportedly only had a decade of time for necessary changes in the energy sector to avoid a global climatic catastrophe, i.e. to implement the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development in line with the concept of a new, green economy

Much has to change in consumer awareness, business must change and different social groups should force policies and change legal regulations. It is necessary to develop co-financing of investment projects in the field of renewable energy sources by the state from public funds. In addition, businesses must see this business. The development of renewable energy sources should be profitable, and it is not because it is cheaper to mine minerals, to devastate the natural environment. It is cheap to run classic energy based on mineral combustion because this classic energy and mining industry of hard and brown coal, oil refinery industry, automotive industry of vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines etc. is not burdened with the costs of natural environment devastation, costs of treatment of people who suffer from due to poor air, smog and no negative effects of global warming. If the mining, energy, processing and automotive industries were burdened with these costs, then it would not be worthwhile to devastate and pollute the natural environment. Then it would be more profitable to develop energy and industry based on renewable energy sources. Inventions of electricity have over 100 years of history. 100 years ago, electric cars should be produced, but the oil business this scenario of more sustainable development has crossed out. Therefore, for over 100 years, archaic energy based on the burning of minerals has been developed. During these 100 years, the average temperature of the Earth's surface has increased by 1 degree ° C. From specific scientific studies, it appears that humanity is only 12 years left to make the necessary changes, to switch energy and industry to renewable energy sources and the automotive industry to electromobility, to reduce poor quality of stoves and domestic ovens, on the development of large and small, home solar, wind and other power plants. At the same time, investment projects in renewable energy sources should be widely developed and entire economies should switch to sustainable pro-ecological development according to the concept of a green, new economy. If during this time these changes are not implemented then the average temperature of the Earth until 2030 will increase by another min. 1 degree ° C and then in the following years the greenhouse effect will accelerate and the problem of global warming will become an irreversible process, which will mean the widespread apocalyptic climate disasters covering most of the Earth's surface before the end of the 21st century.

In view of the above, the current question is: Can we still avoid a global climatic catastrophe and what should be done to avoid it?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Sustainable proecological economic development based on the concept of a new, green economy regarding entire national economies and future global economies is a necessary future that must be realized in the 21st century if humanity wants to avoid a global climate disaster. Sustainable ecological economic development is based primarily on the creation, development and implementation of large-scale ecological innovations, renewable energy technologies, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, automation and robotization of the process of sorting waste, recovery of recyclable materials, reclamation of a devastated natural environment, afforestation of post-industrial areas, development of electromobility etc. Apparently humanity has only been a decade of time to implement this plan in order to avoid a global climate disaster resulting from the increasingly faster global warming. According to World Wide Fund for Nature (https://cop.wwf.pl/en) humanity is already an endangered species in the 21st century!

In view of the above, the current question is: Is sustainable ecological pro-ecological development based on the concept of a new, green economy necessary to avoid a global climate disaster?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

What determines the development of specific types of renewable energy sources in individual countries?

In individual countries that differ economically, geographically, naturally, etc., various types of renewable energy sources should be developed and adapted to local, national, and geographical ones. However, which will be developed to a greater extent, it depends on the determinants mentioned above, which include economic, geographical, natural etc. specific conditions.

In view of the above, the current question is: What determines the development of specific types of renewable energy sources in individual countries?

What is the role of particular social groups in the dissemination of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of a new, green economy?

The role of engineers is particularly important for enabling sustainable development, including sustainable pro-ecological development, based on the concept of a new, green economy. Engineers create new technological solutions, new energy technologies, ecological innovations, innovative ecological buildings, develop renewable energy sources in industry and other applications, create automation technologies for waste segregation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, develop electromobility, carry out investment projects to reclaim a devastated natural environment, etc. Apart from engineers, the key actors are the state as an economic entity and financial institutions, ie the main actors of external financing of environment-friendly investment projects, thanks to which sustainable sustainable development based on the concept of green economy is enabled and implemented. The role of politicians who set the direction of the necessary systemic changes is also important. Also important is the role of citizens who within the civil and information society are increasingly aware of the threats to the growing risk of climatic cataclysms that are a derivative of the progressive global warming. The role of mass media and new online media is important, including social media portals, thanks to which the level of social awareness for this type of important problems, particularly important in the 21st century, important for humanity, for the whole planet Earth is growing.

In view of the above, the current question is: What is the role of particular social groups in the dissemination of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of a new, green economy?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Probably the future of humanity in the 21st century depends probably on the next dozen or so years. The most depends on whether renewable energy sources and electromobility of the automotive industry will be implemented on an industrial scale.

Probably the future of humanity depends on the next decade. If, over the next few years, renewable energy sources replacing traditional energy based on the burning of minerals are developed on a massive scale, it might be possible for humankind to avoid a climatic catastrophe in the 21st century. The international climate agreement that currently (December 2018) concluded in Katowice in Poland may be a late and insufficient agreement, because most countries do not intend to develop high-budget projects for the construction and development of power plants based on renewable energy sources. In addition, changes in the automotive industry, changes leading to the development of motorization in the direction of electromobility are too slow. The problem is serious because it concerns the future of all humanity in the perspective of the next two to three generations, yet the necessary changes and reforms in the implementation of economic principles of sustainable pro-ecological development are too slow. With the current pace of changes, there may be a shortage of time to implement the necessary pro-ecological undertakings, and then the problem of global warming will become an irreversible process and will constantly accelerate!

In view of the above, the current question is: Probably the future of humanity in the 21st century depends probably on the next dozen or so years?

If, over the next few years, renewable energy sources replacing traditional energy based on the burning of minerals are developed on a massive scale, it might be possible for humankind to avoid a climatic catastrophe in the 21st century. Therefore, in each country, various types of renewable energy sources, electromobility in the automotive industry and eco-innovation should be developed in accordance with the level of development, financial possibilities, climate and economic conditions.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

If anyone of you is interested in this subject or conducts research in the field of the above issues, I invite you to the discussion.

Please, answer the following question:

What are the main barriers to the development of renewable energy sources?

Maybe big names in oil industry?

Lack of funds

investissement cost

In order to limit the importance of barriers, it should be developed to promote the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development of the global economy by educating the public, including through the emission of social campaigns in the mass media. Perhaps thanks to the text, the importance and strength of specific barriers to the principle of sustainable development of the global economy will gradually decrease.

The importance of education in the field of sustainable pro-ecological development?

In order to effectively develop education in education in the field of sustainable pro-ecological development, the basics of economics should first be included in the curriculum.

Education in the basics of economics should be universal, introduced to different levels of schools and fields of study because it is knowledge fulfilling the role of introducing to even more important issues, especially important for the future development of civilization in the 21st century. The issues of sources and consequences of the progressive global warming as well as the necessary changes, reforms that should be introduced into everyday existence, the production of economic goods, etc. to develop a sustainable ecological environment are among those particularly important issues that should also be included in general education. development based on the concept of green economy. If these pro-ecological reforms were implemented mainly in the period of the next decade to 2030, then there will be the possibility of slowing down the adverse process of global warming. If these pro-ecological reforms on the scale of the global economy are not realized then at the end of the twenty-first century planet Earth will be visited by powerful climatic cataclysms, which may threaten the life of all humanity and most other forms of life on Earth.

In view of the above, the current question is: The importance of education in the field of sustainable pro-ecological development?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

The role of the media in promoting sustainable pro-ecological development?

The problem of greenhouse gas emissions is still too little propagated in the media.

Still too few social campaigns are being undertaken to promote this particularly important topic in the context of the future of human existence on Earth in the 21st century.

In view of the above, the current question is: The role of the media in promoting sustainable pro-ecological development?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Lack of the financial supports

Cost of production and supply deficit to refinery plants.

Politicians are mostly the cause of socioeconomic and technical failures.

Poor financial planning

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations: In my opinion, sustainable pro-ecological economic development should be an important determinant of shaping economic policy. Do you agree with my opinion? For many centuries, the economies of countries and enterprises have developed without knowing or ignoring the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development. On the other hand, in the 21st century the realities have changed, the global warming process is accelerating and if the reforms of pro-ecological changes, development of renewable energy, recycling development, development of environmental protection etc. are not implemented, in the short term the global warming process will become an irreversible process and at the end of the 21st century the planet Earth, humanity and many other forms of life on Earth are threatened by climatic extermination due to the high rise of negative anomalies and climatic cataclysms.

In our recent experience in Eastern Canada, 1) logistics & transportation (primary transp), 2) pre-process activity, finally 3) the locations of pre-process were acknowledged as main barriers.

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG

In the context of global warming progress, the following question is still valid:

What actions should be taken to remove or replace these barriers to the chances of developing renewable energy sources?

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Best wishes

The problems is not so much the sources but problems of reliability/storage/networks. If these can be overcome, renewables had their chance in the markets.

In my opinion the basic barriers in most countries for the development of renewable energy sources is the lack of financial resources in state budgets and lobbying of the mining sector of energy raw materials and the energy sector based on classic energy sources.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

Please reply

I suggest the following questions and research problems in the above topic:

Will it be possible in the future to fully sustain economic development in harmony with ecology?

Sustainable development is very important in the context of the increasing use of resources and environmental pollution.

The basic issue that must be achieved within the framework of full sustainable development is the renewal of resources, reduction of economic growth to the optimal level ensuring renewable resources, reduction of environmental pollution, creation of biodegradable substitutes for fossil fuels, replacement of traditional energy based on mineral combustion for technological innovations in in the field of energy, including the development of energy based on renewable energy sources, etc. To this should be added a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to slow down the negative aspects of the oceogenic climate of the Earth. There is so much to do in these themes and, above all, a great deal to do in the 21st century so that it would not be too late.'

To effectively carry out this process, it is necessary to develop universal, precise measures of sustainable development that will be used globally and will be recognized as the standards for assessing the process of achieving and achieving sustainable economic development in harmony with ecology.

But it is very difficult to establish precise measures for the sustainable development process. Sustainable economic development in correlation with ecology should be measured to determine if it is being implemented. It is necessary to define precise determinants that on one hand will determine the pace of economic development and on the other hand will take into account specific issues of ecology. It should be a set of quantified indicators based on selected measurable and quantitative data, so that the whole analytical process can be considered as a research objective method. The best solution will therefore be to develop an analytical scoring method, for which the basic components of this method will be defined economic and ecological quantitative indicators.

In the light of the above, the question arises:

Is sustainable development possible taking into account the full harmony of economic development with ecology?

Even if it is unrealistic, what are the reasons for building a theoretical model that would present such a fully balanced development?

Please, answer, comments.

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG,

In the context of the progressive warming of the Earth's climate, the following question is of particular importance:

How will the technique of building infrastructure of cities and metropolises change due to the ongoing global warming process?

Does the development of smart city technology and ecological innovations, renewable energy sources, etc., ie the dissemination of sustainable pro-ecological development of cities and metropolises, facilitate the process of settling new environments in connection with the ongoing global warming process?

What kind of new environments did the people experience when fleeing from the drained continents? Probably if the end of the twenty-first century due to the progressive procesm global warming average temperature of the Earth's surface to increase by 3-4 degrees Celsius to most areas in tropical, subtropical and temperate some of the areas will not be suitable for survival. People will have to emigrate to the arctic regions.

In addition, technologies for colonizing new environments should be developed. Perhaps in a few decades new cities will be built underground, at the bottom of the seas and oceans, in Earth's orbit and possibly also on the Moon and on Mars if humanity in the next several decades will properly modernize the space travel technique and colonize the possible planets in our System sunlight.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

How will human civilization change in a few decades due to the ongoing global warming process?

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Best wishes

Interesting discussion, following

1) political challenges where energy / electricity providers have monopolies guaranteed by laws

2) demand side challenges, that purchasing power / awareness of consumers slow down introduction of alternative forms of energy

3) technological issues, that make alternative energy at times less dependable, or consumers think that the alternative energy is not safe, what provision is concerned.

Joining the above discussion, I would like to add a few words about the issue of determinants and barriers to the development of renewable energy sources. The problem is very important, so it requires clarification and investigation. The discussion conducted on the Research Gate website shows that there are many barriers to the development of renewable energy sources. In addition to financial barriers, political and business barriers related to the lobbying of mining enterprises acquiring energy minerals and power plants producing energy in the formula of classic energy based on the combustion of hard coal, lignite, petroleum oil and other minerals are also important.

In the context of the above considerations, the following key questions arise:

- Are political and business barriers more serious in the face of financial barriers regarding the development of renewable energy sources?

- Does the subsequent negative effects of the global warming process, such as the increasing number of forest fires in various climate zones, contribute to the change of energy policy and implementation of pro-ecological reforms?

- Should the most economically developed countries financially support the implementation of environmentally friendly reforms in the energy sectors of less developed countries?

- Should the goal of reducing barriers to the development of renewable energy sources be international cooperation to improve the issue of coordination of pro-ecological reform processes carried out in different countries?

What do you think about this topic?

What is your opinion on this topic?

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

Thank you very much

Dr. Prokopowicz,

This is a very interesting discussion.

Specifically in the context of distributed generation of photovoltaic energy, I developed jointly with fellow researchers a research to identify the ways and barriers to the adoption of this technology under the political, technical, managerial, social and economic dimensions. To this end, interviews were conducted with professionals from utility companies, photovoltaic industry associations, photovoltaic system installers, users, policy makers and other key stakeholders.

Among the main barriers identified are the poor quality of photovoltaic systems, the high cost of initial investment, the dependence on financing for purchase of solar panels, consumer culture, lack of knowledge about photovoltaic technology, the inefficient after-sales services, the dependence on imports of solar panels from China and lack of policies to encourage photovoltaic generation. The results of this study allow the understanding of the diffusion of the distributed generation of photovoltaic energy in countries of emerging economies or in regions where the implementation of PV systems is still incipient.

If you are interested in knowing in depth all the barriers raised by respondents and literature, the article is available in the journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, under the heading "Paths and barriers to the diffusion of distributed generation of photovoltaic energy in southern Brazil". The link for consultation is as follows: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364032119303193.
