		<description><![CDATA[Although complex, a standardized sustainability index per country, comparable to other countries, should be researched and presented. This would indicate levels of sustainability within countries, taking population growth/age, natural resources, pollution levels, etc. into account. Based on this, areas for education/action can be identified. This is both a earth system &#038; social science topic combined, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How can the world community achieve a shared, new, understanding of the complex, interactive and non-linear nature of the Earth System, against the prevailing, misleading and policy-impeding assumption of a mechanistic &#8216;Newtonian&#8217; world, amenable to reductionist technical fixes applied in incremental fashion?</title>

Systems thinking and analysis, including an understanding of ecological processes, has not been part of our schooling, culture and world-view. We are thus failing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists work diligently in their labs and publish in scientific journals results of their work. However, the media pick only stories about the man who bit the dog, neglecting the background. How can media be made aware of the importance of telling the truth, the whole, truth, and nothing but the truth?
