Abstract

As COP28 drew to a close in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the key message was that climate action is urgent so the promises made in previous conferences can become a reality. Reports, videos, and social media posts related to COP28 were encouraging, immediate, and meaningful actions with higher ambition and significant results to curb emissions and avoid the 1.5 °C temperature increase scenario. Another word is also in the discussion, however, attracting much less attention: that is integration . In other words, this very challenging climate action will require transitioning to greener energy systems, redesigning production and consumption systems, rethinking the role of traditional industries in our economies, and last, but not less important, reflecting upon our societal priorities and aspirations. For this, all stakeholders of a society are needed. And these integration efforts for sustainable behavior are not only needed at the governmental level, but also, on the regional, group, and individual levels [Brem and Puente, 2020].

编辑综合和可持续的净零实施：工程管理在可持续发展中的作用

随着 COP28 在阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜落下帷幕，会议传达的关键信息是气候行动刻不容缓，这样才能将前几次会议上做出的承诺变为现实。与 COP28 相关的报道、视频和社交媒体帖子都在鼓励人们立即采取有意义的行动，以更高的雄心和显著的成果来遏制排放，避免 1.5 °C 的气温升高情景。然而，另一个词也出现在讨论中，但却少有人关注：那就是 "一体化"。换句话说，这项极具挑战性的气候行动需要向更绿色的能源系统过渡，重新设计生产和消费系统，重新思考传统产业在我们经济中的作用，最后但同样重要的是，反思我们社会的优先事项和愿望。为此，需要社会的所有利益相关者共同努力。可持续行为的整合工作不仅需要政府层面的努力，还需要地区、团体和个人层面的努力 [Brem and Puente, 2020]。
