At the beginning of the 21st century a new dedication towards sustainability is obligatory and asks for a fundamental reorganization or complete replacement of established innovation systems. Such a process is steered by technology philosophy. The article explores and resolves the seeming differences between ecohumanism and ecomodernism by applying a dynamic perspective of emerging innovation systems. In the very early phases, where the general dedication, search heuristics and relevant knowledge space is determined, ecohumanism should shape the sustainability dedication by establishing general rules respecting the fundamental importance for subsequent innovation. Ecomodernism then helps in both the following explorative phases to effectively guide progress, as well as in the more and more exploitative phases to efficiently guide progress within these general rules. This dynamic combination of ecohumanistic and ecomodernistic thinking demonstrates how a mandatory sustainability focus can be implemented without falling back to a naive techno-optimistic view. The article highlights the relevance of our approach for green chemistry. The principles of green chemistry provide ecohumanist guideposts for technologies currently in the stage of ecomodernist intensification.

在21世纪初，对可持续发展作出新的贡献是义不容辞的，这要求对现有的创新体系进行根本性的重组或完全取代。这样的过程是由技术哲学引导的。本文运用新兴创新系统的动态视角，探讨并解决了生态人文主义与生态现代主义之间的表面差异。在非常早期的阶段，一般的奉献，搜索启发式和相关的知识空间是确定的，生态人文主义应该通过建立尊重后续创新的基本重要性的一般规则来塑造可持续性奉献。因此，生态现代主义有助于在接下来的探索阶段有效地指导进步，也有助于在越来越多的开发阶段在这些一般规则下有效地指导进步。这种生态人文主义和生态现代主义思想的动态结合，展示了强制性的可持续发展重点如何得以实施，而不会陷入天真的技术乐观主义观点。这篇文章强调了我们的方法与绿色化学的相关性。绿色化学原理为当前处于生态现代主义强化阶段的技术提供了生态人文主义的路标。

Enzyme catalysis is a key enabling technology for green and sustainable production of chemicals. Developing suitable enzymes is at the heart of this technology, which is currently changing by Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as machine learning. AI-based methods were used for enzyme discovery and design. We review the recent advances in generative AI models for enzyme design, with a particular focus on those that have been validated by experiments. Furthermore, we discuss the applications of the enzymes designed by generative AI, including artificial luciferases, non-heme iron (II)-dependent oxygenases, and P450 enzymes. We provide our opinions on several current issues encountered in computational enzyme design. With the fast development of new generative models in enzymes and the implementation of these models by the research community, we believe that the precise design of efficient enzymes with new catalytic functions and/or potential industrial applications will be a mature method in the near future.

Renewable polyesters with a good balance between impact strength and elastic modulus are rare, especially when combined with a high glass transition temperature (T_g). Meeting such performance would enable the substitution of polymers like acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate with chemically recyclable polyesters from bio-based, CO₂-based, or recycled sources. Recently, we showed that the low reactivity of isosorbide can be overcome. The synthesized copolyesters are very competitive regarding the goals of T_g, modulus, and impact strength. CO₂-based oxalate esters and isosorbide are an intriguing monomer combination. These polyesters offer a combination of outstanding mechanical-, thermal-, and barrier properties in combination with unique home compostability and marine degradability. In this minireview, we will highlight some recent polymer technology developments on high T_g (co)polyesters and we look at the recent behavior of consumers on their willingness to pay for sustainability, which can create a strong market pull that can help to accelerate the plastic materials transition.

在冲击强度和弹性模量之间有良好平衡的可再生聚酯是罕见的，特别是当与高玻璃化转变温度（Tg）结合时。达到这样的性能将使丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯（ABS）和聚碳酸酯等聚合物能够被生物基、二氧化碳基或可回收来源的化学可回收聚酯取代。最近，我们发现异山梨酯的低反应性是可以克服的。合成的共聚酯在Tg、模量和冲击强度方面具有很强的竞争力。以二氧化碳为基础的草酸酯和异山梨酯是一个有趣的单体组合。这些聚酯提供了杰出的机械、热、屏障性能，结合独特的家庭堆肥性和海洋降解性。在这篇小型综述中，我们将重点介绍高Tg （co）聚酯的一些最新聚合物技术发展，并研究最近消费者愿意为可持续性付费的行为，这可以创造一个强大的市场拉动，有助于加速塑料材料的转型。

The existence of transboundary environmental externalities requires international cooperation over environmental policies. Therefore, the interaction between trade and the environment has become vital for sound economic policy making. Recently, the number of preferential trade agreements has risen exponentially, and they increasingly include disciplines aimed at achieving non-trade objectives. These include deep reforms in regulatory rules and harmonization with partner countries on issues such as environmental policies and regulations. This paper focuses on recent literature examining the linkage between deep and shallow trade agreements and environmental policies. We also discuss the recent carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) introduced by the European Union (EU) as an example of how a deep trade agreement (such as the EU) offers a practical channel through which environmental policies can be implemented, harmonized, and enforced internationally.

跨界环境外部性的存在要求在环境政策方面进行国际合作。因此，贸易与环境之间的相互作用对于制定健全的经济政策至关重要。最近，优惠贸易协定的数目成倍增加，其中越来越多地包括旨在实现非贸易目标的纪律。其中包括监管规则的深度改革，以及在环境政策和法规等问题上与伙伴国的协调。本文着重于研究深层和浅层贸易协定与环境政策之间联系的最新文献。我们还讨论了欧盟（EU）最近引入的碳边界调整机制（CBAM），作为一个深度贸易协定（如欧盟）如何提供一个切实可行的渠道，通过该渠道，环境政策可以在国际上实施、协调和执行。

Biocatalysis is widely renowned for its remarkable efficiency, selectivity, and known for operating under mild conditions. While most enzymatic reactions progress without light irradiation, recent studies have identified light as a crucial factor in the activation of certain naturally occurring enzymes. These findings have spurred the rapid advancement of photoenzymatic catalysis in the past few years, where enzymes are not typically known for light activation perform excited-state chemistry with or without the presence of external photocatalysts to facilitate new-to-nature transformations that are challenging for traditional chemical synthesis. In this review, we summarize the experimental and computational methods used to investigate the catalytic mechanisms of repurposed photoenzymes with new-to-nature reactivity and discuss how these insights can inform the design of new photoenzymatic catalytic systems.

生物催化以其显著的效率、选择性和在温和条件下操作而闻名。虽然大多数酶促反应在没有光照射的情况下进行，但最近的研究已经确定光是激活某些天然酶的关键因素。这些发现在过去几年中促进了光酶催化的快速发展，在有或没有外部光催化剂存在的情况下，酶通常不以光激活而进行激发态化学，以促进对传统化学合成具有挑战性的新自然转化。在这篇综述中，我们总结了用于研究具有新自然反应性的再利用光酶的催化机制的实验和计算方法，并讨论了这些见解如何为新的光酶催化系统的设计提供信息。

The global food system is reported as a significant contributor to health-related problems and environmental degradation; therefore, international organizations and public authorities increasingly support more sustainable food systems as part of their commitment to the sustainable development goals. Accordingly, an increase in individuals’ interest and propensity toward sustainable food consumption is being observed. Several studies have been conducted investigating the motives of sustainable food consumption behavior, including well-known models with theoretical backgrounds, goal-directed perspectives, and nudge interventions. Among these, nudge interventions are mainly effective in shifting individuals toward consuming more sustainable foods. In this context, this study reviews the recent literature by exploring nudge interventions in the experimental setting for sustainable food consumption. In addition, it summarizes the implications of these studies to make suggestions to policymakers.

Plasma activation and co-conversion of N₂ and C₁ gases pose a promising opportunity to address the urgent need to decarbonize the production of fertilizers and chemical products. This review summarizes recent studies demonstrating advances in plasma-assisted co-conversion of N₂ and C₁ gases (i.e., CO₂, CO, and CH₄) to value-added products including nitrogenous fertilizers, C–N bond-containing chemicals, and in situ resource utilization products such as O₂. Additionally, we identify key opportunities for continued research to discover and develop these technologies for real-world applications based on plasma tuning, plasma-catalyst synergy, and techno-economic considerations.
