This event is based on FLOGEN Sustainability Framework as described by Dr. Florian Kongoli in his opening Plenary Lecture at the United Nations Meetings in Geneva in February 2022 (https://www.flogen.org/?p=33&an=2022&m=2). It covers 3 equally important sustainability pillars: (1) Science, Technology & Industry, (2) Governance & Management, and (3) Education & Civil Society that act together in unison to achieve simultaneously three equally important criteria of Sustainability (1) Environmental protection, (2) Economic Growth and (3) Social Development as described the publication: https://flogen.org/pdf/sips16_524FS.pdf. This framework is, since September 2024, a constitutional law of the City of Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, voted unanimously by the governing party, opposition parties and independents the city council, setting a global example for other cities (related videos here:
