Sustainable construction implies more than just building new homes, offices and factories. It also implies using sustainable materials, safe building practices and new technologies taking into consideration, for example, engineering risks and the damage caused by climate change and urban pollution.
Pojem trajnostne gradnje pomeni več kot sama gradnja novih domov, pisarn in tovarn, pomeni namreč, da se pri sami gradnji uporabljajo trajnostni materiali, varne gradbene prakse in upoštevajo nove tehnologije (npr. tveganja pri inženiringu in škoda, ki nastane zaradi klimatskih sprememb in mestnega onesnaževanja).
It means encouraging builders and developers to employ sustainable construction methods and materials to reduce noise, disruption and waste in urban settings (see SHE).
To pomeni, da gradbenike in razvojne inženirje spodbujajo pri uporabi metod trajnostne gradnje in materialov, s čimer zmanjšujejo hrup, različne motnje in odpadke v mestnem okolju (glejte SHE). ).
Indeed, strategic EU policy directions in the field of urban sustainability – especially those articulated by the Lisbon Council, the EU Strategy for Sustainable Development, the Environmental Technologies and the Environment and Health Action Plans – will continue to need research support.
Smernice strateške politike EU na področju trajnostnega urbanega okolja - še posebej tiste, omenjene na Svetu v Lizboni, v Strategiji EU za trajnostni razvoj, Okoljskih tehnologijah in Evropski strategiji za okolje in zdravje – bo še vedno potrebno oblikovati na podlagi raziskovanj.
Meanwhile, greater international co-operation, such as the collaboration initiated with UN-HABITAT, is also critical to achieving Europe’s and the rest of the world’s sustainable development ambitions.
Poleg tega pa je bolj okrepljeno mednarodno sodelovanje, kot je sodelovanje z UN-HABITAT, prav tako izrednega pomena pri doseganju želja po trajnostnem razvoju v Evropi in drugod po svetu.
URBAN RESEARCH
Tudi kulturni vidiki
Urban (re)development has too often focused on maximising space and utility at the expense of cultural heritage. Protecting cultural heritage – both indoor and outdoor – from the ravages of time is not just for the benefit of tourists and admirers of art and culture; it also serves as a reminder of the past and a valuable (cultural) asset for years to come.
COMPASS zbira jasne smernice in »ekspertni sistem«, da bi pomagal upraviteljem arhitekturne kulturne dediščine (arhitekti, svetovalci, lastniki in oblasti, pristojne za kulturno dediščino) pri izbiri združljivih (odpornih proti soli) ometov in betonov.www.compass-salt.org
However, a shift in emphasis towards more applied research to stimulate takeup by practitioners and policy-makers of the many new tools, standards and systems developed by EU research projects may be required.
Vendar bo potreben večji poudarek na uporabnih raziskavah, s katerimi spodbujajo uporabnike in politike pri uporabi mnogih novih orodij, standardov in sistemov, ki so jih razvili v okviru raziskovalnih projektov EU.
More effort is also needed to develop further the environmental technologies to help put sustainable policies into practice across the Union.
Prav tako bo potrebno vložiti več truda v razvoj okoljskih tehnologij, da bi se trajnostne politike uporabljale v praksi po vsej Uniji.
COMPASS is compiling clear guidelines and an ‘expert system’ to help managers of built cultural heritage (architect, consultants, owners and heritage authorities) choose which compatible (salt resistant) render and plaster mortars to use www.compass-salt.org
Zaščita kulturne dediščine – tako v zaprtih kot odprtih prostorih –ni potrebna samo zaradi turistov in ljubiteljev umetnosti in kulture, temveč služi kot opomnik preteklosti in kot dragocena (kulturna) pridobitev za prihodnja leta.
What next?
Prihodnost … kaj sledi?
But keeping these cultural artefacts in good condition requires painstaking work and cutting-edge research and technology – i.e. chemical analysis, climate studies, materials science, archaeology, sociology, etc. – by multidisciplinary teams.
Toda, da se te kulturne umetnine ohranijo v dobrem stanju, je potrebno veliko težkega dela in najnovejših raziskav ter tehnologij – npr. kemične analize, študije podnebja, znanosti o materialih, arheologije, sociologije itd – ki jih vodijo multidisciplinarne skupine.
The new tools, technologies and standards produced by European research projects are already being applied to solving real problems (see COMPASS). ).
Ta nova orodja, tehnologije in standarde, ki so rezultat evropskih raziskovalnih projektov, že uporabljajo pri reševanju pravih težav (glejte COMPASS). ).
Stronger integration between urban and land-use research is a vital future goal for Europe, especially to extend the study from urban to regional settings.
Močnejša povezava med raziskavami urbanega okolja in rabo zemljišč je v prihodnosti pomemben cilj za Evropo, še posebej, da bi razširili raziskavo iz urbanega tudi na regionalno okolje.
Emerging issues, such as sustainable growth, tourism and culture, environment and health, vulnerable urban and coastal areas, natural and man-made hazards, demographic changes, as well as the impacts of globalisation, will also dominate future research.
Novo nastala vprašanja, kot so trajnostna rast, turizem in kultura, okolje in zdravje, ranljivi urbani in obalni predeli, naravne nesreče in tiste, ki jih je povzročil človek, demografske spremembe, kot tudi vpliv globalizacije, bodo prav tako prevladovala v prihodnjih raziskavah.
More attention could also be paid to the economic (i.e. external costs) and technological (i.e. ETAP) approach to sustainable development.
Več pozornosti bo namenjeno tudi gospodarskemu (npr. zunanji stroški) in tehnološkemu (npr. ETAP) pristopu k trajnostnem razvoju.
‘city in the

Only by acting on the best available research and information can the right policy decisions be made to ensure sustainable urban development takes place now and in the future.
Samo če naša dejanja temeljijo na rezultatih najboljših dostopnih raziskav in informacij, lahko sprejemamo prave odločitve, da zagotovimo trajnostni urbani razvoj sedaj in v prihodnosti.
• Towards the Seventh Framework Programme: www.cordis.lu/fp7
• Priprava 7. okvirnega programa:www.cordis.lu/fp7
A central focus of EU urban research has been to develop better tools and technologies for stimulating informed and participatory decision-making.
AWAST je razvil metode in programsko opremo za ocenjevanje in izboljšanje upravljanja trdnih odpadkov. null
In urban settings, land-use policy has to accommodate a range of (often conflicting) functions and interests to achieve true sustainable development.
V urbanih okoljih se mora politika do rabe zemljišč v želji doseganja pravega trajnostnega razvoja prilagoditi mnogim (velikokrat nasprotujočih si) funkcijam in interesom.
EU-funded research is helping to improve urban quality of life.
Raziskave, financirane s strani EU, pomagajo pri izboljševanju kakovosti urbanega življenja.
Improving the urban environment – and city dwellers’quality of life – has become a major issue in the global effort to achieve sustainable development.
Izboljševanje urbanega okolja – in kakovosti življenja mestnih prebivalcev – je postalo zelo pomembno vprašanje v globalnem poskusu doseganja trajnostnega razvoja.
Cities house most of Europe’s population and consume most of its resources.
Večina evropskih prebivalcev živi v mestih, ki porabijo večino svojih virov.
Steps to create sustainable urban living must be underpinned by high-quality research.
Pot do trajnostnega načina urbanega življenja mora biti podkrepljena z visokokakovostnimi raziskavami.
Policy-makers face several challenges in generating sustainable built environments.
Politiki se pri gradnji trajnostnih okolij soočajo s številnimi izzivi.
Implementing integrated planning policies for land use and transport – to limit the harmful effects of overcrowding and optimise infrastructure use (see LUTR) – is just one of them.
Implementacija integriranih načrtovalnih politik za rabo zemljišč in prevoz – z namenom, da se omeji škodljive vplive prenatrpanosti in optimizira uporabo infrastrukture (glejte LUTR) – je le ena od teh.
Nowhere is the goal of achieving sustainable development more at risk than in our cities, home to 80% of Europeans and most of the social and environmental challenges.
Cilj, doseči trajnostni razvoj, ni nikjer drugje bolj ogrožen kot v naših mestih, kjer živi 80 % Evropejcev in kjer smo soočeni z družbenimi in okoljskimi izzivi.
Urban dwellers face overcrowding and related problems: traffic, congestion, pollution, waste, and the effects of these on health and the quality of life in society.
Mestni prebivalci se srečujejo s prenaseljenostjo in s tem povezanimi težavami: promet, prenatrpanost, onesnaženje, odpadki in učinki le-teh na zdravje in kakovost življenja v družbi.
Other challenges include…
Drugi izzivi vključujejo …
• limiting urban sprawl by promoting mixed-use settlements, regenerating inner city areas and discouraging private car use
• omejevanje širjenja urbanega okolja s spodbujanjem naselij z mešano uporabo zemljišč, obnovo mestnih središč in spodbujanje uporabe javnega prometa
• redeveloping inner city derelict industrial and brownfield sites – a huge problem across Europe (see NORISC) )
• ponovni razvoj zapuščenih industrijskih in onesnaženih področij mestnih središč – velik problem po vsej Evropi (glejte NORISC) )
But cities are also incubators for new ideas to combat this environmental hangover.
Toda mesta so istočasno tudi valilnica novih idej, kako premagati te okoljske težave.
The urban scene inspires fresh economic solutions (competitiveness, knowledge generation, employment, etc.), environmental action (against pollution, waste, urban sprawl, dereliction and contaminated land, public transport, etc.), and social responses (combating exclusion and slum formation, building green spaces, etc.).
Urbane podobe spodbujajo nove gospodarske rešitve (konkurenčnost, ustvarjanje znanja, zaposlovanje itd), okoljevarstvene akcije (proti onesnaževanju, odpadkom, širjenju urbanega okolja, izsuševanju in onesnaževanju zemlje, javni promet itd.) in družbene odzive (boj proti izključevanju določenih družbenih slojev in oblikovanje revnih četrti, gradnje zelenih površin itd.).
In fact, cities are now being seen as intrinsic to any strategy aimed at sustainable development.
Dejansko so mesta sedaj glavni element vsake strategije trajnostnega razvoja.
• improving the number and quality of green and recreational areas to improve urban life (see GREENSPACE) )
• povečanje števila in kakovosti zelenih in rekreativnih površin za izboljšanje mestnega življenja (glejte GREENSPACE) )
GREENSPACE studied how urbanites both perceive and use green zones – for aesthetics, recreations, as places to meet, etc.
• obnova sosesk in obremenjenih območij, kjer prevladujejo okoljske in družbene težave, ki potrebujejo poseben pristop
Research has developed the processes, tools and technologies supporting sustainable redevelopment in all of these areas.
Z raziskavami so razvili procese, orodja in tehnologije, ki podpirajo trajnostni ponovni razvoj na vseh teh področjih.
But how can we make our urban environments more pleasant places?
Toda kako lahko urbana okolja naredimo bolj prijazna?
This was first addressed in the EU’s Fifth Research Framework Programme (FP5), later touched on in FP6, and is on course to being developed in future programmes.
Evropski voditelji že vedo, da osamljena prizadevanja, ne glede na to, da so mišljena dobronamerno, ne zadostujejo za odpravo težav pri urbanem trajnostnem razvoju.
Meanwhile, the waste generated by Europe’s cities is also a major concern to authorities.
Da bi se lahko soočili s temi izzivi, je potreben širši - vseevropski pristop.
The European Waste Management Cluster offers sustainable waste solutions on its website ( www.wastesolutions.org ).
Tega problema so se lotili prvič v 5. okvirnem raziskovalnem programu (OP5) EU, kasneje pa tudi v OP6.
EU research is helping to streamline local urban governance.
Sedaj poskušajo le-to vključiti v bodoče programe.
The future of food safety
Prihodnost varnih živil
Detection is the best medicine
Odkritje je najboljše zdravilo
The EU has made a long-term commitment to providing the necessary knowledge base to secure the highest levels of food quality and safety.
Evropska unija se je dolgoročno zavezala, da bo zagotavljala potrebno znanje za zagotavljanje najvišje stopnje kakovosti in varnosti živil.
This is one of the seven thematic priorities of the EU’s current Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) and is set to become an important component of the forthcoming‘food, agriculture and biotechnology’theme in FP7.
To je ena od sedmih tematskih prioritet Šestega okvirnega programa Evropske unije (OP6), ki bo postala pomemben del naslednjega tematskega sklopa OP7 (živila, kmetijstvo in biotehnologija).
Micro-organisms are so tiny that they can only be seen through a microscope.
Mikroorganizmi so tako majhni, da se jih vidi samo s pomočjo mikroskopa.
Despite their invisibility to the naked eye, they are powerful members of the biological world and have the potential to pack a lot of punch.
Kljub dejstvu, da s prostim očesom niso vidni, so pomemben del biološkega sveta in so sposobni prenesti veliko udarcev.
They have their good side (adding flavour, helping in the fermentation process, etc.) but can turn bad due to changes in environmental conditions.
Imajo dobro lastnost (dodajo okus, pomagajo pri vrenju itd.), vendar lahko zaradi okoljskih pogojev učinkujejo tudi negativno.
Our surroundings are teeming with legions of them, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
Naše okolje je polno kolonij bakterij, virusov in plesni.
Before that causes too much alarm, most of these invisible creatures are harmless and many are actually good for us.
Večina teh nevidnih bitij je neškodljivih, pravzaprav celo koristnih.
Pathogens are viruses, bacteria or any other micro-organisms that cause disease.
Patogeni so virusi, bakterije in drugi mikroorganizmi, ki povzročajo bolezni.
Owing to their potential harmfulness, it is critical that they are detected and removed as swiftly as possible from our food.
Zaradi njihove možne škodljivosti je pomembno, da se jih čim prej odkrije in odstrani iz naših živil.
Current testing methods tend to focus more on the final product rather than the entire food chain.
Trenutni načini testiranja so bolj osredotočeni na končen proizvod kot pa na celo prehrambno verigo.
With 25 research partners in 16 countries, PathogenCombat is working to develop new molecular-based methods to detect, predict and characterise pathogens from fork to farm. www.pathogencombat.com
PathogenCombat sodeluje s 25-imi partnerji v 16-ih državah pri razvoju novih molekularnih načinov odkrivanja, napovedovanja in določanja patogenov “od vilice do kmetije”. www.pathogencombat.com
However, some micro-organisms are bad for our health.
Vendar so nekateri mikroorganizmi škodljivi za naše zdravje.
They can find their way into our bodies and cause us serious harm.
Najdejo pot v naše telo in nam lahko resno škodujejo.
We can catch these harmful micro-organisms through contact with other people or contaminated animals, and from our food.
Te mikroorganizme dobimo ob stiku z drugimi ljudmi ali od okuženih živali in celo s hrano.
Retailers should use tools that allow them to control food cost effectively.
Trgovci bi morali uporabljati pripomočke za dober nadzor nad proizvodi.

Zoonoses are diseases which cross the species barrier from animals to humans.
Zoonoze so bolezni, ki se iz živali prenesejo na človeka.
They include salmonella, rabies, and some forms of influenza.
Vključujejo salmonelo, steklino in nekatere oblike gripe.
These diseases can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected animal or by eating contaminated food.
Te bolezni se lahko prenašajo z neposrednim stikom z okuženo živaljo ali z uživanjem kontaminirane hrane.
This makes controlling zoonoses outbreaks – which can spread rapidly – critical.
To oteži nadzor nad izbruhi zoonoze – ki se lahko hitro širi.
However, such efforts are hampered by disciplinary divisions between human and animal doctors.

Accurate labelling is crucial because consumers have the right to be certain that their food contains nothing more or less than what the label states.
Pravilno etiketiranje je izredno pomembno, saj imajo potrošniki pravico vedeti, da hrana ne vsebuje ničesar več in ničesar manj, kakor je napisano na etiketi.
Transparent labelling also allows people to make informed choices about what type of food they eat and gives farmers and food companies the freedom to choose the food they grow and produce.
Pregledno etiketiranje prav tako omogoča ljudem, da obveščeno izberejo kakšno vrsto hrane bodo jedli, in daje kmetom in prehrambenim proizvajalcem svobodo, da izberejo živila, ki jih bodo pridelovali in proizvajali.
In Europe, today, we are fortunate.
V Evropi imamo danes srečo.
In the space of a generation, our diets have become more varied and diverse, with ingredients and dishes from all over the continent and the world.
Naša generacija ima bolj pestro in raznoliko prehrano, s sestavinami in jedmi z vsega kontinenta in sveta.
The food on our plates has never been safer, with hightech quality control tools complementing tough European and national legislation.
Hrana na naših krožnikih ni bila nikoli tako varna, saj se njeno kakovost, ki mora biti v skladu s strogo evropsko in nacionalno zakonodajo, preverja z vrhunskimi tehnološkimi orodji.
Safe food often means food that is free of contaminants.
Varna živila pogostokrat pomeni, da leta niso kontaminirana.
Consolidated production and distribution chains filter out sub-standard and contaminated produce.
Povečana proizvodnja in tržne verige izločajo podstandardne in kontaminirane proizvode.
However, they are not perfect and sometimes fail to detect harmful contaminants.
Vendar leta nista popolna in jima včasih ne uspe odkriti škodljivih kontaminentov.
Paradoxically, the consequences of such rare breakdowns can be the rapid spread of contaminated food products owing to the interconnectedness of modern supply chains.
Evropska unija je pred kratkim sprejela nov zakon o označevanju in sledljivosti živil z namenom, da zagotovi, da so vsa živila, ki se prodajajo v Evropi, jasno označena.
As the global trade in genetically modified (GM) foods grows, the EU needs to satisfy consumer demands – and Union regulations – that transgenic products entering Europe be clearly labelled and controlled.
To pomeni, da je izredno pomembno zagotoviti, da do kontaminacij ne pride oz. da se v primeru, če se pojavijo, le-te odkrije in se na njih hitro odzove.
Nevertheless, in recent years, a series of high-profile food scares – including mad cow disease (BSE), dioxins and salmonella –has shaken consumer confidence.
Vendar je v preteklih letih vrsta odmevnih dogodkov, povezanih z živili – vključno z boleznijo norih krav (BSE), dioksini in salmonelo – zamajala zaupanje potrošnikov.
Since then, the European Commission has been working hard to regain consumer trust and protect public health.
Od takrat se Evropska komisija močno trudi ponovno pridobiti zaupanje potrošnikov in zaščititi javno zdravje.

Na pravi poti
This means that it is becoming increasingly important to ensure that contamination does not occur and to detect and react to it rapidly if and when it does.
Medtem ko svetovna trgovina z gensko spremenjenimi (GS) živili narašča, mora Evropska unija zadovoljiti zahteve potrošnika – in uredbe Unije – da so transgeni proizvodi, ki vstopijo v Evropo, jasno etiketirani in nadzorovani.
Trust in food chain
Zaupanje v prehrambno verigo
Understanding the health risks of chemical pollutants in food is a complex, multidisciplinary task, and European research in this important field is currently fragmented.
Razumevanje zdravstvenega tveganja zaradi kemičnega onesnaževanja hrane je zapletena in večdisciplinska naloga, zato so evropske raziskave na tem pomembnem področju trenutno razdrobljene.
Under the CASCADE umbrella, researchers will carry out multidisciplinary investigations spanning such scientific areas as physiology, chemistry and toxicology to tackle the problem on multiple fronts. www.cascadenet.org
Pod okriljem CASCADE bodo raziskovalci izvedli večdisciplinarno raziskavo, v katero bodo vključili področja, kot so fiziologija, kemija in toksikologija, da bi se s problemom spoprijeli z več strani. www.cascadenet.org
