Cornerstones : 1972 Stockholm, 1987 Brundtland Commission, 1992 Rio, 2002 Johannesburg, 2012 Rio. Pillars: 3+1 – Environmental protection (Stockholm and Rio) – Economy (Rio) – Society (Johannesburg) – Human (in Hungarian National Sustainable Development Framework 2012-2014) Date: 03/07/20152 What is sustainable development? Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű

„Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” – Our Common Future, 1987 Date: 03/07/20153 What is sustainable development? Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű

Serious problems were identified 11 priorities to fight against these problems, for example: – protection of natural values – combating climate change – sustainable water management – strengthening of sustainable production and consumer habits – transformation of energy economy – sustainable economic regulation National Sustainable Development Strategy (2007) Date: 03/07/20155 Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű

Intervention fieldsTargetsDevelopment areas Horizontal type technological innovations Sustainable resource management, resource efficiency, decrease of environmental loads. Nanotechnology, biotechnology, use of photonics, bio-based products, advanced materials. AirDecrease air pollution made by transportation and households. Improving public transport vehicles and traffic control, upgrading heating and energy efficiency. WasteRecycling, decreasing the organic content of waste, reducing waste production, less hazardous waste, selective collection of waste. Low-waste technologies, separately collected waste processing, usage of waste as secondary raw materials. WaterDecreasing specific water use in industry and agriculture, waste water recycling, ensuring high quality drinking water supply. Water-efficient key technologies, water-saving agricultural technologies, iron and manganese removal technologies for drinking water. Noise and vibration Decreasing noise pollution in settlements, vibration protection. Noise barriers, noise and vibration reducing traffic developments, sound insulation in buildings. Construction industry Eco-friendly construction, sustainable resource-management, energy-efficient buildings. Building materials from renewable sources, usage of secondary raw materials and renewable energy sources, thermal insulation. Renewable Energy Efficient use of different renewable energy resources. Heat pump energy use, waste heat capturing, heat energy recovering system, geothermal energy use, solar energy in households, biomass, small wind turbines, efficient energy storage, photovoltaic technologies. RemediationRemediation of polluted compartments (soil, water) and monitoring, giving priority to the green remediation. Bioremediation, innovative technologies, in-situ processes. Agriculture and soil protection Decreasing environmental pressure, soil protection, more efficient water use, decreasing the use of pesticides, reducing soil pollution and waste production. Eco-friendly technologies, organic farming technologies, efficient use of nutrients, irrigation and water recycling technologies, biological agents with integrated pest management, waste energy recovery, usage of geothermal energy. National Environmental Technology Innovation Strategy 2011-2020 (2011) Date: 03/07/20158 Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű

Overall objective: increase the population carrying capacity and population holding capacity. It has three aspects: – Sustainability – Territorial and societal cohesion – City-country connection These are divided into 7 strategic fields (like protection and sustainable use of natural values and resources, and the improvement of the qualitiy of rural environment), which contain 50 programs in total. National Rural Strategy (2012) Date: 03/07/20159 Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű
10
It defines mid-term objectives for the years of 2013- 2016 It prescribes more than 100 measures along the 40 action directions. Connection of green economy and industrial property under chapter 4.3.2 Relevant fields of green economy from the aspect of industrial property – alternative energy sources – innovations in the field of environment protection industry – environmental innovations in agriculture – innovation connecting to waste management Jedlik Plan – The National Strategy for the Protection of Intellectual Property (2013) Date: 03/07/201510 Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű
11
In the period 2007-2012 the number of patent applications grew from 74 to 122 concerning green technologies. Lagging fields: – Biomass – Geothermic energy – Vechicles – CO 2 emission reduction Improvement observed: – Wind energy – Energy storing – Heat insulation – Waste management Jedlik Plan – The National Strategy for the Protection of Intellectual Property (2013) Date: 03/07/201511 Presenter: dr. jur. Barna Arnold Keserű
12
Strategies were adopted yearly concerning sustainable development All of them foster green technologies The overall picture remained the same, the strategies can’t achieve serious successes Main problems: – Low IP activity in public financed research centers – Low intensity of R&D&I – Insufficient money in the SME’s – No obligation for patenting in tenders – Absence of using IP valuation methods Conclusion Date: 03/07/201512 Presenter: dr. jur.
