• the importance to bring together different cultures, experiences and expertise to solve common environmental problems
• the improvement of international cooperation and investment
• the need for better educational policies to make people aware about the environmental impacts caused by the uncontrolled anthropogenic activities
• the importance to improve and exploit present technologies for achieving required degree of decontamination
