Spletna platforma pOZNavalec.si
Spletni medij pOZNavalec osvešča o trajnostnem razvoju in razvojnih tematikah doma in v tujini, bolj podrobno pa o ciljih trajnostnega razvoja, mednarodnem razvojnem sodelovanju in humanitarni pomoči. Ta kakovostni spletni medij prispeva k pluralnosti medijske krajine v Sloveniji, izdaja ga Društvo za Združene narode za Slovenijo.
Spletno platformo podpira Slovenska nacionalna komisija za UNESCO v okviru projekta UNESCO mladinska platforma.
Vabljeni k zanimivemu branju o Združenih narodih, svetu in Sloveniji ter o izzivih trajnostnega razvoja.
Poplave avgust 2023
Obsežne dele Slovenije so prizadele večdnevne močne poplave. Izražamo sočutje vsem prizadetim in globoko zahvalo vsem, ki so priskočili na pomoč v kakršni koli vlogi ali na kakršen koli način. Solidarnost je močno zakoreninjena v slovenski družbi.
Odpravljanje posledic bo dolgotrajno in boleče. Od nas bo zahtevalo veliko mero odrekanja na drugih področjih delovanja in razvoja.
Posledice žal niso le zaradi moči narave, ampak tudi našega ravnanja v preteklosti in našega odnosa do voda.
Za boljše razumevanje si lahko preberete tri prispevke:
Quo vadis slovensko vodarstvo – anketa iz leta 1995, objavljena v reviji Slovenski vodar, št. 2
Quo vadis slovensko hudourništvo? – strokovni prispevek iz leta 2016 na Mišičevem vodarskem dnevu
95 tez o vodarstvu – prispevek iz leta 2017 z 2. kongresa o vodah Slovenije
Verjamemo, da lahko v času podnebne krize ravnamo drugače in varujemo človeška življenja in premoženje v večji meri, tako da krepimo odpornost družbe in posameznika.
Agencija RS za okolje (ARSO) je že na svojih spletnih straneh objavila analizo “Nalivi in obilne padavine od 3. do 6. avgusta 2023” – MOPE, ARSO, Ljubljana, 32 str.
Hidrološke analize tega izrednega dogodka člani Unesco katedre objavljajo na Facebook spletni strani študija Vodarstvo in okoljsko inženirstvo, ki ga izvaja Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo, Univerza v Ljubljani.
Zanimivo branje o kvantitativnih metodah za ocenjevanje poplavne nevarnosti ponuja pregledni članek avtorjev Maranzoni in sod. (2023) Quantitative flood hazard assessment methods: A review, Journal of Flood Risk management, 16:e12855, https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12855, ki je na voljo v angleškem jeziku v prostem dostopu. Poplavna nevarnost se ne dotika le vprašanj o varnosti objektov in ljudi v njih, temveč tudi ljudi na prostem, tudi v prevoznih sredstvih.
Sprememba slovenske področne zakonodaje na področju varstva pred škodljivim delovanjem voda (vključuje poplave vseh vrst in vzrokov) je nujna.

The planned activities relate to risk reduction of water-related disasters due to floods and accompanying erosion phenomena. The problem has contemporary relevance in Slovenia and elsewhere in the world. Today, we mostly encounter the impacts of: climate change and anthropogenic actions as a response to hazards and the changed way of our life, subject to cultural and developmental diversity related to the society’s sensitivity, and development of new technologies and risk reduction actions.
Through an integrated approach to research and doctoral study programmes we will develop new solutions suitable for local natural and cultural conditions.
