17. Emerging Powers in Global Climate Politics: The discursive story-lines used by the BASIC countries regarding the climate crisis, responsibilities and burden sharing in the UNFCCC

20. Shaping the Climate Action trajectory within the Fashion Industry : a case study of a Small Medium Sized Enterprise
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Naturresurser och hållbar utvecklingAbstract : The apparel and footwear industry’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the fifth largest per industry, equal to that of livestock, after electricity and heat, oil and gas, agriculture, and transportation (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017). For industry-wide emissions reduction, investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency programs across highest impacting life cycle phases offer the most effective solution. READ MORE
