Deutsch: Nachhaltige Fischerei / Español: Pesca sostenible / Português: Pesca sustentável / Français: Pêche durable / Italiano: Pesca sostenibile
Sustainable fishing refers to the practice of catching fish and other marine resources in a way that ensures the long-term viability of the species and the ecosystem. It aims to balance the needs of the fishing industry with the preservation of marine biodiversity. This approach is crucial for maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems and supporting the livelihoods of communities dependent on fishing.
Deutsch: Nachhaltiges Landmanagement / Español: Gestión sostenible de la tierra / Português: Gestão sustentável da terra / Français: Gestion durable des terres / Italiano: Gestione sostenibile del territorio
Sustainable land management (SLM) is a holistic approach to land use that seeks to balance the needs of the present with the preservation of resources for future generations. It integrates environmental, economic, and social dimensions to ensure the long-term productivity and resilience of land resources. This approach is crucial in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, land degradation, and biodiversity loss.
Deutsch: Nachhaltige Mobilität, Español: Movilidad Sostenible, Português: Mobilidade Sustentável, Français: Mobilité Durable, Italiano: Mobilità Sostenibile
Sustainable mobility in the environmental context refers to a transportation system that is environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially equitable. Its goal is to meet the needs of society for movement and access without producing excessive negative impacts on the environment or compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own mobility needs.
Deutsch: Nachhaltige Technologie / Español: tecnología sostenible / Português: tecnologia sustentável / Français: technologie durable / Italiano: tecnologia sostenibile
Sustainable technology in the environmental context refers to the development and application of devices, systems, or methods that utilize resources in a way that does not deplete or permanently damage these resources. These technologies are designed to have a minimal environmental impact and to support enduring ecological Balance, thereby promoting sustainability in various industries and sectors.
Deutsch: Nachhaltiger Verkehr / Español: transporte sostenible / Português: transporte sustentável / Français: transport durable / Italiano: trasporto sostenibile
Sustainable transportation in the environmental context refers to transportation methods and systems designed to minimize their environmental impact. This approach to transportation supports the mobility needs of societies while being eco-friendly, economically viable, and socially inclusive.
Deutsch: Synthesizer / Español: Sintetizador / Português: Sintetizador / Français: Synthétiseur / Italiano: Sintetizzatore
A synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates audio signals to produce a wide range of sounds, from imitations of acoustic instruments to entirely novel timbres. While primarily associated with music production, synthesizers also play a role in environmental applications, particularly in sound design, acoustic research, and bioacoustic monitoring. Their ability to generate precise, controllable frequencies makes them valuable tools in both artistic and scientific contexts.
Deutsch: Synthetisch / Español: Sintético / Português: Sintético / Français: Synthétique / Italiano: Sintetico /
The Synthesis describes the combination of two or more parts, whether by design or by natural processes. Furthermore, it may imply being prepared or made artificially, in contrast to naturally. The resulting product is called 'Synthetic'.
Deutsch: Synthetisches Schmiermittel / Español: Lubricante sintético / Português: Lubrificante sintético / Français: Lubrifiant synthétique / Italiano: Lubrificante sintetico
Synthetic lubricant is a chemically engineered substance created from synthetic compounds rather than crude oil, which is traditionally used in conventional lubricants. These lubricants are designed to provide superior mechanical and chemical properties for various applications in industries and vehicles.
A systematic sample is a sampling design that utilizes regular spacing between the sample points, in one sense or another. The EMAP design selects samples via the triangular grid. Spatial arrangement of the selected resource units is not always strictly systematic, but the systematic grid is an important aspect of the design.
