Abstract:
FLOGEN Sustainability Framework determines in details the role of the 3 pillars or actors that, depending of their actions, make possible or prohibit the simultaneous achievement of the 3 criteria of sustainability. Among the 3 pillars, which are (1) Science and Technology, (2) Governance and Management and (3) Education and Civil Society, the Science and Technology has priority. This is because science and technology with their developments disrupt society routine and serve as a basis for good government and management decisions, for reinventing education as well as reorienting civil society activities. Frequently though, the science and technology are paid lip service when decision makers say they make decisions based on science thus recognizing its role. Furthermore, the role of science and technology as a solution provider is almost ignored. In fact, the role of science is equally supporting, disrupting but also a grand solution provider. The paper proves that they are both equal sides of the same medal and an intrinsic relation exist between all the above components and conclude that there is a strong bonding force that links and brings them together
