“…It's rather indicative that the US scientists (and namely J. Forrester from the MIT, world-known specialist in global dynamics) initially being the initiators of this project later handled it in the hands of European consortium 'The Club of Rome' (the cumulative results of its half-a-century reports see in: Von Weizsäcker and Wijkman, 2018). It's characteristic as well, that the projects aimed at the saving of natural ecosystems are mainly concentrated in the EU and the Eastern Asia.…”

Drawing on theoretical works in geopolitics and sociology as well as on my own works in these fields, the author came to the following conclusions. First, human history consists of the periods of sustainability and transitions. Second, the history shows that the scientific and technological innovations including that of in the social technologies have usually been the drivers of geopolitical transformations. Third, we are now living in a complex and mobile sociobiotechnosphere (hereafter the SBT-system). Fourth, such complex system is needed in interdisciplinary approach. Fifth, a cornerstone of this system existence is the variety of metabolic processes including social ones. Sixth, the contradictions between various attitudes and models of transition process toward the Fourth industrial revolution are the main impediments for a smooth transition period. Seventh, an adequate concept of our living environment is a necessary precondition for the successful transition period. Eighth, the existed social institutions are lag behind the pace and time rhythms of ongoing transformations. Ninth, the decision-making acts should be replaced by an interrupted process going one step forward in comparison with the transformations of any SBT-system. Tenth, the existing concept of global social ecosystem should be reconsidered.

The urgency of the research topic lies in the author's search for the elimination of environmental and other threats to the existence of mankind. The population of Homo Sapiens increases quantitatively, intensify the rate of degradation of the natural environment and accelerates the movement to the total Collapse. Scientists in the world create only "appeals" and-warnings‖ of danger, but even the UN decision and three environmental forums 1992, 2002 and 2012 do not indicate real means of salvation. The purpose of the study is a critical analysis of the works of scientists of the world and their environmental projects and plans. The objectives of the study are to offer a real way of saving humanity through the replacement of industrial technologies with environmentally safe nootechnologies, the development and use of the noosciences. The methodology of the study is based on the authors' foundations of the basis of many new exact and humanitarian noosciences-noophilosophy, nooecology, noohistory, noosociology, noocognitiology, and others. We use the noointegral, systemic and noohistorical methods within the framework of a promising principle of global evolutionism with transdisciplinary approaches. The result of the study is unquestionable evidence that in the flow of nanotechnologies since 2000 ecologically safe appears, which we propose to call "wise"-neotechnologies. Their number is small and the number is growing slowly, but the trends of world science evidenced by the inevitability of the victory of nootechnologies and elimination of all industrial technologies. The main result of the study is the list of noosciences and nootechnologies, which are "terms from the future". They form the Nooglossary for which we received the copyright certificate-a legal document of our author's priority. The conclusion is that humanity will be saved not by the "third industrial revolution" by J. Rifkin and not by the "fourth" K. Schwab or-smart-activity‖, but by the development of the nooosciences (noowave No. 4) and the massive use of environmentally safe nootechnologies. Nooera has already begun, but humanity does not notice it yet. The first nootechnologies exist, but they are still too small. We have created the Nooglossary to accelerate the progression of noofuture.

“…There have been currently stormy discussions about development of the human potential because of a new humanitarian technological economy and planetary challenges, affecting the state of preserving our civilization (Weizsäcker & Wijkman, 2018). The term 'human development' is referred to as a certain individual's potential that permits a person not only to perform the given functions, but also to manifest one's own activity.…”
