1. 1. Georgian Environmental Kuznets Curve: An Appropriate Estimation.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Farahim Suleymanli; [2022]
   Keywords : Environmental Kuznets Curve; integrated processes; Planetary Boundary; Environmental Degradation Index; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. READ MORE

3. 2. The Nuclear Option : A Global Sustainability Appraisal of Civil Nuclear Energy

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

   Author : Sebastian Arnström; [2020]
   Keywords : nuclear power; solar power; wind power; sustainability; sustainable development; sustainable energy development; sustainability of nuclear power; nuclear accidents; nuclear weapons proliferation; nuclear fuel depletion;

   Abstract : Energy production systems are essential for human progress. They fuel the technologies that underpin economic growth and are prerequisite for efficient food production, education and healthcare. On the flip side, they also incur substantial eco-social costs. READ MORE

4. 3. How did Jupiter form?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Calle Ahlgren; [2019]
   Keywords : Planet formation; Planet migration; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Two relatively new concepts in planetary science are planetary migration; wherein the planets migrate through the protoplanetary disk as they form, and pebble accretion; wherein the planetesimals which become terrestrial planets and giant planet cores grow through the accretion of small pebbles. Planetary migration has become a generally accepted concept but there is still much to be learned even about how it affected the formation of our own solar system. READ MORE

5. 4. Assessment of Sustainability Maturity Models for Business Transformation

   University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för strategisk hållbar utveckling

   Author : Inna Chilik; Kim L. Edens; Kurt Klusch; Peter Ralph; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Business organisations, given their size, influence, and global impact on finite planetary resources, are the key economic drivers contributing to unsustainable growth. Sustainability Maturity Models (SMMs) were developed as a tool to assist organisations to recognise and incorporate practices identified as pivotal to achieving business transformation. READ MORE
