Imagining on The New Development Concept of Life-Long Learning Towards Carbon Action Plan

Abstract

In this research, we aim to increase the efficient and environmentally safe resource use and the development of sustainable practices based on lifelong learning. To achieve this, the aggregated modeling has been undertaken via the concept of life cycle thinking. The following models are introduced: (1) a model for the market of products with carbon risk toward application in the development of carbon action plan; (2) a model for the diffusion of innovative knowledge, with conditions for its lifelong learning implementation; (3) the adaptation mechanisms at competence acquisition and decision-making. The perfect market theory, as the basic approach, is used to investigate the problems of corporate social responsibility and standardization in the field of sustainability. Having in mind the practical implications, the economic and technological integrated factors of the techno-economic system have been introduced, and their relationship with the tasks of sustainability, taking into account carbon risk, is considered, based on the quantitative measures. The novelty of the research is provided by the aggregated analytical results in order to form tools for quantitative modeling on the sustainability issues of communities, organizations, and individuals.
