This paper focuses on the notions of “time” and “temporality” of nuclear waste, as well as the different time horizons implied by practitioners of nuclear waste storage. In doing so, the paper develops understandings of a key problem defining nuclear waste storage in C21: namely, how to communicate information and memory over the 100,000 years that highly radioactive nuclear matter remains a threat to organic life. This question is notable not least because it involves the proposition of communicating with “deep time” future scenarios in which contemporary representational systems are ineffectual, and even the existence of the “human” is in doubt.
This paper takes the 2018 InGRID input note as the point of departure for an elaboration on an additional layer of governance less known among some domain-specific scholarly circles but no less relevant for their overall exploratory work of the diversity of steering and consultation mechanisms put in place by the European Union (EU) to promote integrationist dynamics and certain goals enshrined in the EU policies.
Youth initiatives supported by the Council of the Baltic Sea States should contribute to the growing body of literature on youth engagement in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. ReGeneration 2030 and the Baltic Sea Youth Platform are presented to highlight future avenues for the development of these initiatives and what research approaches would help to acquire a more structured insight not only about the hypothetical potential of these initiatives but also the delivered value-added. These findings would help the United Nations to keep apace with the mindsets of younger generations which are underrepresented among the organisation’s staff. Likewise, youth deserves to be heard due to the socio-economic challenges it faces not only in the Global South but also in the Global North.
