1. 1. Expectations and reality of sustainable stormwater management : A review of implementation of Nature-Based Solutions - A case study of Southern Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Katarzyna Zofia Dziubanii; [2024]
   Keywords : Nature-based solutions; green infrastructure; ecosystem services; planning process; spatial planning; urban planning; stormwater management; sustainability; climate change mitigation; Naturbaserade lösningar; grön infrastruktur; ekosystemtjänster; planeringsprocess; fysisk planering; stadsplanering; dagvattenhantering; hållbarhet; klimatförändringar;

   Abstract : The shrinking of permeable areas in favour of urban development is a phenomenon described in both scientific literature and policy documents. Changes in rainfall intensity and frequency following climate change are expected, but predicting the exact magnitude of these changes remains unclear. READ MORE

3. 2. Mandating transparency on deforestation and ecosystem conversion

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Moritz Driescher; [2023]
   Keywords : sustainability reporting; mandatory disclosure; deforestation; ecosystem conversion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The production of eggs, meat, and dairy products in the EU indirectly contributes to deforestation and ecosystem conversion (DEC) in Latin America due to extensive imports of soy for animal feed. This thesis explores under which preconditions the mandatory European Sustainability Reporting Standards for the agriculture and farming sector can increase transparency in the opaque soy supply chains and incentivize reductions of imported DEC.
