About the event:

On February 26, 2025, the scientific center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes» of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar «Hydrological modelling in soil constructions of Zaryadye park». The event will be held in a mixed format on the Microsoft Teams platform. The working language is Russian.

Zaryadye Park, which opened in Moscow in 2017, is a unique project in the field of landscape design, combining many modern technologies for creating and maintaining urban green infrastructure. The park contains areas that reproduce ecosystems of different climatic zones of Russia. All this makes Zaryadye an interesting object for research from the point of view of physical and biological processes occurring in the soil.

During the seminar, the results of research conducted on the territory of Zaryadye Park in the fields of soil science, hydrology and soil biology will be presented and discussed.

About the event:

On November 27, 2024 the Research center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the global change» Agrarian and Technological Institute RUDN University organizes an international scientific seminar «ESG consulting: relevance of the agenda, analytics and prospects». The event will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform. The working language is Russian.

ESG (E – environment, ecology; S – social, social policy; G – governance, corporate governance) is a set of principles for doing business that correspond to the general philosophy of sustainable development. Speakers will present an overview of the transformation of the sustainable development concept into the concept of ESG and social responsibility, problems and prospects for disclosing non-financial reporting, taking into account changes in international requirements.

In 2018, the president signed a decree “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024.” In 2021, the government issued a decree “On approval of the goals and main directions of sustainable (including green) development of the Russian Federation” and a decree “On approval of criteria for sustainable (including green) development projects in Russia and requirements for the verification system of financing instruments for sustainable development in the Russian Federation.”” Thus, these three letters E, S and G largely determine the development vector of companies, cities and regions. How exactly this happens in practice will be discussed at the seminar.

 

Event program:

17.30 – 18.00

SUN Lab presented the results of the third year of the SUN project

SUN Lab presented the results of the third year of the project “Smart technologies to monitor, model and evaluate ecosystem services provided by urban green infrastructure and soils to support decision making in sustainable city development under global changes”, supported by a Russian Science Foundation (RSF).

Research in the third year of the project was focused on 3 main objectives:

  1. monitoring of ecosystem services of urban green infrastructure based on the Smart Urban Nature network;
  2. interpretation of monitoring data for ecosystem services for various target groups and practical tasks;
  3. application of the results of monitoring and modeling ecosystem services to support decision-making in the field of sustainable development of the urban environment.

Smart Urban Nature portal concept: in search of ideas and solutions

Last Saturday, the SUN Lab team held the first strategy session in the format of a team brainstorming session.

We discussed the concept of the Smart Urban Nature portal. This is a portal that will allow us to collect, analyze, deliver and present information about the state of urban ecosystems. Such a multifunctional open-access platform, in our opinion, will be a useful tool for different categories of users. During our session we tried to identifine these categories.

SUN Lab celebrates the International Day of Forests by setting up TreeTalkers in Rostov-on-Don

When we drink a glass of water, write in a notebook, take medicine for a fever or build a house, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another.

Forest sustainable management and their use of resources are key to combating climate change, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet despite all of these priceless ecological, economic, social and health benefits, global deforestation continues at an alarming rate.
