FLOGEN Sustainability Framework is a unique definition of sustainability that consists of the 3 criteria that must be fulfilled simultaneously to reach sustainability determines and 3 pillars or actors that, depending on their actions, make possible or prohibit the simultaneous achievement of the 3 criteria of sustainability. The 3 pillars are: (1) Science and Technology, (2) Governance and Management and (3) Education and Civil Society, having Science and Technology in priority position. 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 shows that the FLOGEN Sustainability Framework is the benchmark for every project in life to achieve sustainability.
