  3. From gas guzzlers to nearly emission free vehicles VW Golf 1974 (Benzin, 55 kW, 810 kg) Clean Engine Vehicle (CEV)(LNG, 44 kW, 1‘055 kg) 40.4 g/km 3.5 g/km 1.3 g/km 165.7 g/km 8.6% (off. EU-Fahrzyklus) COHC NOx CO2Efficiency 0.15 g/km 0.10 g/km 0.00 g/km 109.5 g/km 15.4% (off. EU-Fahrzyklus) Challenges and possibilities Klaus Woltron

  4. Bulbs who give light instead of heat Factor: 25 Edison- lamp (1880) Energy saving bulb 75-100 lm/W 3 lm/W Efficiency: (Lichtstrom pro bezogene Leistung) Challenges and possibilities Klaus Woltron

  5. Fuel made of wood Ecogas Pilot plant for production of biogas made of wood Site: Güssing (Austria) Product: fuel for engines 1000- hour test end June, 2004 Target: 20 resp. 100 Megawatt- plant Challenges and possibilities Klaus Woltron

  6. New fuelling techniques Klaus Woltron

  7. Buildings without CO2- emissions Factor 8 MINERGIE-P EAWAG/Zurich 1970 200 kWh/m2a Energy input 25 kWh/m2a Challenges and possibilities Klaus Woltron

  8. Taming capitalism: from pure profit to more complex target/incentive systems Paradigm change Circuit of control in capital allocation (Woltron, GAIA 1/2004) Challenges and possibilities Klaus Woltron

  9. Opportunities and chances for universities The challenge to set examples

  10. Core elements of education values • Safeguarding human development • Integration of civilization- systems in the system of nature and synchronization with the potential of ecological systems • Integration of all this into scientific and technological long-term targets Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  11. Innovation • Innovation is necessary to bridge the gap between needs of a growing population, increasing living standards and the physical limitations of the planet. Klaus Woltron

  12. Innovation and technology: Some crucial remarks • Under what conditions can we use the technology we invent? …….in nuclear energy, biotechnology, and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). • Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). IPRs are crucial for risk-taking investments in new technologies and products. • How do we make technologies available to the developing countries at a cost they can afford? • While innovation and technology are important tools to address sustainable development, there is no guarantee that they are sufficient to close the gap between a growing population and the physical limitation of the planet. There is a clear need for more efficient use of resources. • Growing public distrust in science ………… Björn Stigson, WBCSD Klaus Woltron

  13. Sustainability as basic principle of innovation • Sustainability is a driving force for innovation • Innovations are the driving forces for competitiveness and wealth. • Innovations ask for boldness, risk taking and entrepreneurship • Sustainability demands interconnected, interdisciplinary competences • Sustainability is top managements/the rectors business. … a pioneer's affair! Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  14. Opportunities and responsibilities Good Corporate Governance Swiss Re’s corporate responsibility framework Shareholders Corporate Governance Clients Suppliers Employees Communities NGO’s Corporate Sustainability Management (Streiff, Swiss Re, Club of Vienna, 2004) FinancialResources Corporate Philosophy Code of Conduct HumanResources Natural Resources Klaus Woltron

  15. Good professional perspectives Much more important in former times…. Rising challenge! Source: Föhrenbergkreis Vienna, 2000 Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  16. Big companies change their attitude Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  17. Consequences for targets of universities • All these challenges mankind only can work out with motivated, well educated, cooperating people with a high tolerance for frustration. • People responsible for others therefore have to actualize and sharpen their knowledge - • How to establish clear and fascinating targets for their students and colleagues; • How to balance and communicate these targets with social, environmental and commercial criteria to make them acceptable for professors, students and the public; • How to resolve conflicts within the organization, to train people in crisis management and make them fit for continuing change and uncertainty; • How to design universities as a trustful and just haven for students. Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  18. Hierarchy of Values (sketch) (or the opposite?) Klaus Woltron

  19. Trans – discipline research • Interdisciplinary teaching and research is partially exotic in our academic world. • Financing of cross – section projects seems to be more difficult than within the limits of traditional disciplines. • Therefore also the rules and regulations for trans – discipline research should be evaluated in respect to their ability serving the sustainability idea as a genuine trans – disciplinarian matter. Does it happen? Klaus Woltron

  20. Recommendation: The thumbtack principle …then into width • Tell them the ongoing stories • Give them the values • Give them the basics in special knowledge • Give them the matrix skills • Give them the basics in understanding sustainability • Train them to use these basics in their special discipline • Set up practical projects • Cooperate with industry and public institutions • Set a personal example First: Into depth… Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  21. Be prepared for setbacks and disappointments… 40% of all plans fail 30% of all new enterprises disappear within the first five years 50% of all mergers and re – development plans fail One has therefore to live with disappointments and failures. Without frustration tolerance you are chanceless in tomorrow's world. Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron

  22. The best plans are useless without the will to succeed.... Sub – consciousness drives our inspiration, intention, mood, and perception. Consciousness and action follow afterwards! Opportunities and responsibilities Klaus Woltron
