In recent years ecological innovations have been created mainly in the field of renewable energy sources, improvement of waste segregation techniques, recycling, treatment of polluted water, reclamation of a devastated natural environment, energy-efficient construction, electromobility etc. However, more and more eco-innovations, new technological solutions, technical improvements which is part of sustainable ecological development, is also created in many other fields of science.
In view of the above, are examples of pro-ecological undertakings, technological improvements compatible with sustainable ecological development or ecological innovations that are also created in one of the following or other related fields of science, for example: Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Anthropology Theory, Medicine, Electrical Engineering , Artificial Intelligence, Genetics, Business Administration, Risk Management, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Automation & Robotics, Climatology, Agriculture, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Medical Intelligence, Artificial Neural Networks, Ecosystem Analysis, Power Engineering, Construction, Food production, Forest ecology, Biology, Geoscience, Government Programs, Behavioral Sciences, Biodiversity Assessment, Green Architecture, Greenhouse, Waste, Household Products, Information Society, Innovation Management, International Entrepreneurship, Internet Technologies, Knowledge Creation, Bioelectric Energy gy Sources, Business Model Innovation, Cataclysmic Variables, Chromatography, Clean Energy, Cleantech, Climate Prediction, Collaborative Innovation, Commercialization, Computational Intelligence, Computer Science and Engineering, Conservation Biology, Consumer Behavior, Corporate Governance, Creative Economy, Crisis Communication, Cyber Security, Data Analysis, Database Administration, Development Cooperation, Digital Ecosystems, Economic Ecoindicators, Ecosystem Ecology, Energy Industry, Ecological Modeling Ecological Economics, Ecological Indicators, Discovery, Earth Sciences, Earthquake Forecasting and Geocataclysm, Econometric Analysis, Economic Integration, Economics of Innovation, Ecosystem Engineering, Electricity, Electronic Systems, Energetic Materials, Energy Technologies, Environment, Environmental Biodegradation, Flora, Food Consumption Life Sciences, Logistics Management, Materials for Sustainable Energy, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Nanomaterials, New Media Technology, Recycling, Physics of Global Warming, Plant Protection, Predicive Analytics, Production Planning, Project Development, Public Economics, Public Policy, Public Policy, Sociobiology, Space Science, Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Development Strategies, Technology Forecasting, Transport Economics, Water Resources, Weather Forecasting, Wildlife Conservation, World Economy, ...?
In view of the above, the current question is: What areas of knowledge will be involved in shaping sustainable pro-ecological economic development in the 21st century?

In addition already mentioned areas of knowledge, sustainable pro-ecological ecologic development may greatly benefit from Indigenous Ecological Knowledge systems and ethnological sciences in developing countries.
Thanks for initiating this discussion. In the energy field, I believe, the energy storage would be a key component. Most of the renewable energy technologies would need a robust storage system for a desired reliability in providing the energy. You can see the attached report on designing the optimum size of energy storage systems.
(1) Energy - production, transport and distribution of power/electricity: renewable energy (solar & wind); smart grid solutions; decentralization of production; advanced storage (battery) solutions.
(2) Electromobility - small affordable BEVs (200 km range, fast charging); Emopeds, Ebikes, Escooters; long haul trucks; ferries. maybe small planes.
(3) Lighting - LED-based solutions.
(4) Biotech
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.

Thank you, Dariusz Prokopowicz
I totally agree with you. I think ignoring the environmental impacts of our activities will lead us to the irreversible process of global warming besides pollution of air and water resources. As you name it "Pro-Ecological Economy" would probably be the only way to stop our way down the hill. Having a normative view through pro-ecological economy, we would think about the ecological consequences of our activities. Although environmental economists have tried to account for the environmental impacts of activities by assigning monetary values to depletion of natural resources (such as Kyoto Protocol), their efforts have not been successful. I think their failure is due to sticking to the principles of the conventional economic measures. However, as you suggested, pro-ecological economy, which accepts the intrinsic value of natural resources (and other creatures) and understands that it is not possible to measure everything in monetary values, might be a solution for sustainable development.
Dear Dariusz,
The problem is that economic policies are heavily dependent on politics and the rise of populism in the world, not only in Europe, does not helo green policies. Look what Trump is doing by negating climate change and supporting fossil fuels and coal. Had Elon Musk not been a wealthy entrepreneur, Tesla would have been bankrupt by now ang big ICE manufacturers like Toyota and Volkswagen would continue to produce vapourware (that is just talk and talk and no action).
The Green Waistcoats in France protest is directed also against eco-tax. OK, Macron did a lot of mistakes but the fact is that eco-policies are not popular.
In East-Central Europe is even worse, and the fact that the frontrunners of the post-1989 democratization drive, Poland and Hungary, now led the autocratic backsliding drive does not help either. My point is that one needs political consensus in order to enforce green policies, and at the EU level Euroscepticism, from Greece to Italy and from Hungary to the Brexiting UK, obviously is a hindrance. Without political will, nothing works in this respect.
Maybe this is of some help?

From time to time, conferences and climates summit are held in various countries around the world. In principle, everyone agrees on the importance of implementing the necessary pro-ecological reforms in economic processes. In addition to representatives of mining companies of energy resources for the traditional energy of burning mineral and traditional power plants, everyone agrees that in order to slow down the global warming processes that are unfavorable for the natural environment, it is necessary to implement pro-ecological reforms as soon as possible. above all, to develop renewable energy sources on a larger scale. In addition, pro-ecological innovations on an industrial scale should be implemented as soon as possible.
Recently, this type of climatic summit took place in Katowice in Poland. It was the UN climate summit, the so-called COP (Conference of the Parties) on climate policy on Earth. UN climate summits, i.e. COP (Conference of the Parties) are global conferences during which climate policy is negotiated. Poland twice hosted them - in 2008 in Poznań and in 2013 in Warsaw. In December 2018, the climate summit is held for the first time now in Katowice in Poland. During this summit, conferences were held, discussions on the need to develop a sustainable development policy and the need for ecological development, renewable energy sources to generate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the future, and ultimately to limit the average annual temperature on the Earth's surface.
From the discussions it follows that it is necessary to develop ecological innovations, new pro-ecological energy sources, and to develop the electromobility of transport means. It is necessary to develop and implement on a large scale renewable energy sources. In addition, it is important to increase the scale of afforestation, as forests and the flora contained in them absorb a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.
As part of the UN climate summit of December 2018, the following were held: the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP24), 14th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 14) and the Conference of the Paris Agreement signatories (CMA 1). About 20,000 people from 190 countries took part in the event, including politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scientific and business spheres.
The lecture delivered during the climatic summit shows that in recent years the warming of the Earth's climate has accelerated significantly and therefore, in the black scenario of future climate changes, the temperature on the Earth's surface can rise by 4 ° C to the end of the 21st century. If this happened, then the scale of climate-related cataclysms that are dangerous to human beings will increase many times, including droughts, floods, fires and weather anomalies in many places around the world. The problem is very serious globally and therefore a lot depends on whether international cooperation will develop in order to limit these problems and their negative effects.
In view of the above, it is necessary to change the development strategy based on intensifying the exploitation of the Earth's resources on the sustainable development strategy. It is necessary to develop new energy technologies based on renewable energy sources to slow down the progressing greenhouse effect of the Earth in order to reduce the risk of dramatic natural cataclysms. It is necessary to develop ecological innovations, while it may not be too late. It is necessary to save the Earth from destruction for future generations.
The 21st century is the last moment to introduce global sustainable development based on the development of renewable energy and ecological innovations. Sustainable development should be analyzed and measured in correlation with the analysis of economic growth and the share of individual sectors in the country's economic development, including the transformation of traditional energy sources into renewable energy, environmental reclamation and recovery of recyclable materials, and ecological innovations.
Unfortunately, perhaps the only major positive effect of these conferences and climate summits is the promotion of the need to apply these pro-ecological reforms in the media. However, the scale of real actions in this direction, the scale of expenditure growth supported by subsidies from state budgets for the development of energy based on renewable energy sources, the development of electromobility, improvement of sorting and recycling processes is still small in relation to the needs.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

In addition, I note the interesting discussion inspired me to the following considerations:
To what extent does the development of eco-innovation and renewable energy improve the protection of the environment, natural biological ecosystems and biodiversity?
In my opinion, the development of innovative ecological technologies and eco-innovations as well as renewable energy sources and their implementation into economic processes is a growing important factor of sustainable green economic development based on the green economy concept.
In a situation where pro-ecological innovations are developed, including energy-related innovations, including new technologies of renewable energy sources, then pro-development anti-crisis, Keynesian socio-economic policy obtains additional attributes of modernity taking into account the protection of natural resources of the environment, protection of natural biological ecosystems and biodiversity.
In this situation, the classic pro-development anti-crisis, Keynesian social and economic policy is transformed into an ecological socio-economic policy implemented into the economy as part of the promotion of sustainable proecological socio-economic development taking into account the new green economy principles, including care for the protection of natural environmental resources, protection natural biological ecosystems and biodiversity.

Sir we can speedup our renewable resources and to use sustainable way by
1. The government has to install solar panels or wind power or other resource generator based location like coastal willages suit for wind energy for everywhere eith full free of cost (some have government to get by tax)
2. Awerness should insists from childhood itselp then only the speed will increases like children's growth
3. Scientists also alter their belongs from non renewable to renewable resources
