Full textWater is at the very core of sustainable development, critical for a thriving people, planet and prosperity. Water is regarded as a public good which is fundamental for health and life. Water is so important that it was debated as being a basic human right on many international platforms. Water access has plagued many parts of the world for a long period of time. In recent years, there have been increasingly urgent warnings of a global water crisis, as the human species consistently uses more water than is sustainably available. The international community tried to work towards overcoming these water-related issues by establishing the then Millennium Development Goals (hereafter referred to as MDGs), with MDG7.C focusing on access to safe drinking water. Even though MDG7.C was achieved in part, issues still remained regarding water access and quality. Sustainable Development Goal 6 (hereafter referred to as SDG 6) was then introduced and the scope of SDG6 is much wider than its predecessor, since the water access and scarcity problems are still prevalent today. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a dedicated goal on water and sanitation that sets out to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. SDG6 expands the MDG focus on drinking water to now cover the entire water cycle, including the management of water, wastewater and ecosystem resources, with water at the very core of sustainable development. The goal has, in essence, extended to include a much broader spectrum of issues that need to be solved which, in essence, unravels even more challenges along the way. As a result, it is imperative to determine whether SDG6 can allow for actual sustainable development in terms of freshwater resources. Thus, this thesis will discuss the advent of the Sustainable Development Goals (hereafter referred to as SDGs), in particular SDG6, as well as analyse how SDG6 impacts on International Environmental Law, with particular emphasis on International Freshwater Law. The main aim of this research is to determine whether the creation and implementation of SDG6 can result in overall freshwater sustainability and whether this can result in the furtherance of sustainable development.

Full textFor a society to function in a modern and prosperous way, electricity is a fundamental necessity. Access to electricity enhances the living standard of the population by generating positive synergies such as more people proceeding in education, economic growth and stability, improved welfare and collaborations with other nations. As the global population grows and the use of electricity increases, it is of great importance to increase the share of renewable energy resources in the energy mix to decelerate the climate change altered by greenhouse gas emissions. Rwanda is a small, landlocked country in East Africa with ambitious plans to electrify its full population of about 11.9 million by 2024 and to become a low-carbon economy. Today merely 41% of the population has access to basic electricity, where 30% are connected to the national grid and 11% are electrified by off-grid solutions. Rwanda is working with national strategies such as Vision 2020, Energy Sector Strategic Plan and National Energy policy to achieve their goals. These policies comprise, among others, United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. Rwanda is also a member of the Eastern African Power Pool, which enhances their future possibilities of expanded collaboration with neighbouring countries in terms of electricity trading. This study aims to analyse the national electricity sector of Rwanda, both the current state and future outlooks, to contribute to their achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy for All (SDG 7). The overall aim of the study is to find an energy mix which benefit Rwanda’s society, environment and economy. The objective of the thesis is to collect data about Rwanda’s electricity system and national policies through a field study in Kigali. The collected data is then compiled, and seven scenarios are modelled by using the tool OSeMOSYS through MoManI. The scenarios portray Rwanda’s work with national policies, potential exports and how the energy mix is affected when the price for photovoltaic decreases. The results show the importance of hydropower in Rwanda’s electrification system and how it in the majority of the scenarios constitutes for the largest share in the energy mix. The exports scenarios combined with national policies have a higher total system cost while scenarios with merely exports have either the same total system cost as the business as usual scenario or a bit lower. In four out of seven scenarios electricity access for all inhabitants is ensured by 2024 and SDG 7 is achieved. Based on this study, Rwanda needs to limit their national emissions, invest in more renewables and expand the national grid as well as providing rural areas with off-grid solutions to achieve SDG 7.

Full textVivimos en un mundo complejo e interconectado que impregna diferentes escalas. sectores o problemas de decisi ón. Esta visión es destacada por la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas, que además pone de manifiesto los desafíos globales actuales. reconoce su interconexión y hace una llamada a la acción internacional. Por otro lado. es ampliamente reconocido que la naturaleza conectada de los problemas a los que nos enfrentamos actualmente se ha abordado mediante enfoques "estancos". separando las complejidades del mundo real en disciplinas especializadas. campos de investigación, instituciones y ministerios. cada uno centrado en una parte de la verdad. De igual manera. es reconocida la necesidad de un cambio de paradigma en los procesos de toma de decisiones hacia enfoques m ás holísticos e integrados. La toma de decisiones basada en evidencias lleva implícita procesos complejos en los que se integran una amplia gama de información de diferente naturaleza. Hoy en día, los datos cuantitativos disponibles pueden respaldar estos procesos. pero faltan metodologías para integrar estos datos de manera efectiva. Con el objetivo de contribuir en esta dirección, esta tesis se centra en el uso de modelos de Redes Bayesianas (BNs), como un enfoque válido para abordar problemas complejos y, en última instancia, para apoyar la toma de decisiones. En la práctica, se emplea comúnmente por separado el conocimiento de expertos y los datos empíricos para construir y aplicar estos modelos. A pesar de la utilidad de esta práctica, en una era en la que los datos son má¿ numerosos, más rápidos y más detallados que antes, hay espacio para explorar hasta dónde pueden llegar estos datos. En este sentido, esta tesis propone un enfoque de Redes Bayesianas basadas en los datos que permite combinar el conocimiento experto y la información cuantitativa existente para, en última instancia, apoyar la toma de decisiones. Se proponen dos métodos sistemáticos para tal fin. En primer lugar, se emplea dicho enfoque para replicar marcos conceptuales basados en indicadores compuestos (IC), que representan el conocimiento experto, mediante el uso de algoritmos de aprendizaje de estructuras, que caracteriza este enfoque de Redes Bayesianas basado en datos. En segundo lugar, se utiliza el enfoque propuesto para identificar las interrelaciones existentes dentro de un contexto complejo, junto con una técnica estadística (bootstrapping) para reducir la incertidumbre de los resultados y con un análisis bibliográfico exhaustivo (conocimiento experto) para demostrar la robustez de los resultados obtenidos. Para testear y validar el enfoque propuesto, esta tesis toma como punto de referencia el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 6 que forma parte de la Agenda 2030, con especial atención al sector del agua, saneamiento e higiene. Nuestros resultados ponen de manifiesto la potencial utilidad del enfoque adoptado. Primero, este enfoque permite la integración de conocimiento experto y de información cuantitativa a la hora de construir las RBs, y replica con precisión los marcos conceptuales basados en IC. Como valor añadido, esta combinación mejora la capacidad de inferencia del modelo, y reduce y cuantifica las variables clave que explican una variable objetivo predefinida. En segundo lugar, el enfoque adoptado es útil para dar cabida a un análisis e interpretación exhaustivos de las complejidades e interdependencias de cualquier contexto en cuestión. Como valor añadido, la identificación de las interconexiones se realiza exclusivamente en base a los datos disponibles. Considerar dichas interconexiones hace que este enfoque sea más adecuado que el uso de IC. En tercer lugar. la naturaleza sistemática dé las contribuciones metodológicas asociadas al enfoque propuesto puede adaptarse a diferentes problemas complejos. En este sentido, se considera que se contribuye a ampliar el conocimiento sobre la validez, fiabilidad y precisión del uso de modelos de Redes Bayesianas.

Full textEnvironmental goals are commonly set to guide work towards ecological sustainability. The aim of this thesis is to develop a precise terminology for the description of goals in terms of properties that are important in their practical use as decision-guides and to illustrate how it can be used in evaluations of environmental policy.
Essay I (written together with Sven Ove Hansson) identifies a set of rationality criteria for individual goals and discusses them in relation to the typical function of goals. For a goal to perform its typical function, i.e., to guide and induce action, it must be precise, evaluable, approachable (attainable), and motivating.
Essay II argues that for a goal system to be rational it must not only satisfy the criteria identified in Essay I but should also be coherent. The coherence of a goal system is made up of the relations that hold among the goals, most notably relations of support and conflict, but possibly also relations of operationalization. A major part of the essay consists in a conceptual analysis of the three relations.
Essay III contains an investigation into the rationality of five Swedish environmental objectives through an application of the rationality criteria identified in Essays I-II. The paper draws the conclusion that the objectives are not sufficiently rational according to the suggested criteria. It also briefly points at some of the difficulties that are associated with the use of goals in environmental policy and managemen

Full textKlimatförändringen påverkar för närvarande länder runt om hela världen. Sverige står inför en ökad risk för jordskred, översvämningar och en stigande havsnivå som kommer att orsaka stora skador på infrastrukturen i framtiden. Mål 13 för hållbar utveckling siktar på att mildra konsekvenserna genom att stärka olika klimatanpassningssystem och minska människors påverkan på miljön. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie var att undersöka Sveriges engagemang för mål 13 och framstegen hittills. Dessutom skulle studien identifiera vilka nationella klimatinitiativ som fanns och hur integrerat mål 13 var på lokal nivå. Genom officiella dokument från den svenska regeringen och FN, vetenskapliga forskningsartiklar, och intervjuer med involverade aktörer på lokal nivå, producerades en detaljerad översikt av Sveriges arbete med hållbarhetsmål 13. Forskningen visade att Agenda 2030 och mål 13 är väl integrerade i de olika nivåerna. Med de initiativ som nyligen genomförts verkar Sverige vara på väg i rätt riktning för att uppnå de olika delmålen under hållbarhetsmål 13. Vissa områden inom Sveriges klimatarbete förefaller dock fortfarande sakna lämplig vägledning och kan komma att kräva förändringar inom en snar framtid om mer framsteg ska kunna uppnås. Konsumtionsbaserade utsläpp producerade utanför Sveriges gränser är fortfarande höga, ett specifikt nationellt klimatscenario har inte utarbetats och kommuner anser sig ibland sakna nödvändiga resurser och stöd för att effektivt planera för klimatförändringar. Dessutom försvårades arbetet på lokal nivå av att delmålen för mål nummer 13 i vissa fall inte hade tydliga indikatorer. Detta begränsade i slutändan i vilken utsträckning Sveriges framsteg kunde identifieras och mätas med avseende på dessa mål.

Full textBackground The teaching at School is, among other things, dependent on frame factors. This study is specifically looking at the allocated teaching hours, the subject content and the indicators for grading that the curriculum dictates as well as the overall aim of the Swedish school system to generate future generations of sustainability minded citizens. The Home and Consumer Studies (HCS) teachers’ situation is difficult with an overambitious curriculum compared to its allocated hours. One possible solution to that problem could be an integrated curriculum. Objective The aim for this study was to study the Swedish HCS teachers’ experience of and attitudes towards integrated curriculum and sustainable development. Method The study had a quantitative approach and a digital questionnaire was sent out to all active HCS teacher in Sweden, at the beginning of the autumn term of 2016. Results The questionnaire was answered by 5 % of the Swedish HCS teachers and showed that a large majority (91 %) of the teachers had experienced integrated curriculum and that teamwork including all other school subjects had been done. The advantages of integrated curriculum outweighed the disadvantages. Lack of time, mainly lack of allocated planning time, was the greatest hindrance to integrated curriculum. The study showed that the HCS teachers saw that integrated curriculum has the potential to contribute to improved time efficiency with increased goal completion and job satisfaction as a result. The study also showed that the teachers need to improve their knowledge of sustainability. Conclusion The head of schools could contribute to increased integrated curriculum activities by influencing the local frame factors, for most by enforcing satisfactory timetable solutions that ensures the possibilities of cooperation and ensuring adequate in-service programs for educators. This could contribute to better work situation for the teachers, increased professionalism and improved status of the subject.

Full textCom a aprovação do Programa Internacional de Geociências e Geoparques (IGGP) pela UNESCO, em novembro de 2015, foi criada a nova designação ‘Geoparques Mundiais da UNESCO (UGGps). Assentes numa abordagem holística, e num sentido de pertença territorial dos seus habitantes, onde se acrescenta a criação de empresas locais e de produtos locais inovadores, estes territórios visam um verdadeiro desenvolvimento regional sustentável. Neste contexto, esta investigação foi centrada nos propósitos da Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, procurando compreender se e como os UGGps contribuem para esse esforço universal. Para tal, este estudo baseou-se numa seleção de 33 UGGps, localizados em 22 países europeus, e com base em quatro fontes: os Relatórios de Atividades (PRs) relativos ao biénio 2015-2016, os resumos apresentados em duas conferências de Geoparques (Rokua, 2015 e English Riviera, 2016), um questionário preenchido pelos gestores dos UGGps selecionados (2017) e um conjunto de entrevistas realizadas a elementos da equipa, habitantes locais e parceiros do Marble Arch Caves UGGp (2019). Esta metodologia permitiu obter dados de 91 ‘PRs’, 95 resumos, 22 questionários e cinco entrevistas. Tendo em consideração o conceito de ‘Geoparque’, os cinco pilares da Agenda 2030 - Pessoas, Planeta, Prosperidade, Paz e Parcerias -, conjuntamente com os 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) e as 'Dez Principais Áreas de Foco' definidas pelo IGGP, este estudo focou-se em procurar responder a três questões de investigação: 1) Como é que os UGGps europeus contribuem efetivamente para a concretização dos 17 ODS da Agenda 2030? Em caso afirmativo, se estes contribuem para mais do que os 'Oito ODS' selecionados pelo IGGP?; 2) Como é que algumas dessas contribuições podem ser contabilizadas, tendo por base uma abordagem qualitativa?; 3) Como é que algumas dessas contribuições podem ser usadas como exemplos de boas práticas, demonstrando o real impacto na concretização de alguns dos 17 ODS, no âmbito das estratégias definidas pela UNESCO neste domínio?. A partir da análise dos dados obtidos foi possível atingir os principais objetivos deste estudo, e chegar a uma resposta positiva às questões de investigação colocadas. Consequentemente, foi exequível demonstrar que os UGGps, direta ou indiretamente nas suas atividades, contribuem para os 17 ODS. Foi também viável provar que os UGGps contribuem efetivamente para mais do que os 'Oito ODS'. Com a metodologia aplicada, foi possível identificar os pontos fortes, os pontos fracos, as oportunidades e as ameaças que os UGGps enfrentam atualmente, no que se refere aos ODS e, neste contexto, foi elaborada uma proposta para um novo modelo de ‘Relatório Anual de Atividades’ para os UGGps, contemplando esta realidade. Este estudo traz ainda uma nova luz sobre o efetivo envolvimento das comunidades locais nesses territórios e a necessidade de adaptação a novos desafios, (e.g. pandemia COVID-19). Espera-se que esta investigação possa abrir novos caminhos e gerar ideias inovadoras para projetos científicos relacionados com a contribuição dos UGGps para a consecução dos 17 ODS da Agenda 2030, permitindo contribuir para ações futuras e planos estratégicos desenvolvidos pelas estruturas de gestão dos UGGps.

As the climate change and global warming getting worse, the sustainable development has become the most important issue around the world. There are multiple and interrelated aspects of the sustainable development, including society, economy, and environment. The development of Kaohsiung’s economy was based on heavy industry. However, the high economic growth has severely degraded the environment, such as the environmental capacities have been over the limits due to human pollution. Fortunately, Kaohsiung city government has strived hard to make progress toward sustainable development. For example, the environmental quality has been improved by conducting river renovations and air pollution monitoring. In order to achieve the goal of sustainability in Kaohsiung, the current study has developed the goal programming model which is based on the performances of some key indicators. Such indicator set was carefully selected by referring many domestic and foreign literatures. Meanwhile, the unique natural environment and society of Kaohsiung and statistic data were also considered when selecting the indicator set. Once the indicator set was ready, the regression analysis has been conducted to describe the future trends of each aspect in relation to the indicators. Finally the goal programming model was formulated and the scenario analyses were performed to explore the outcomes under various policies. The results echo the spirit of sustainable development, that is, the administrative policies have to take into account of all aspects, such that the sustainability is achievable.

Full textEntre muitos danos irreversíveis, o sourcing e a produção de alimentos são os principais contribuintes para a indignação da pegada ecológica e têm sido tema pelos movimentos ambientais modernos. Com isto, as organizações foram encorajadas a agir e adaptar uma estratégia que proteja as necessidades da sociedade e das empresas, por meio de iniciativas voltadas para o propósito corporativo. Apesar de algumas marcas serem construídas sobre sustentabilidade, como a Starbucks, outras adotam o propósito num estágio de maturidade tardio, como a Nestlé. Esta última tem estado sob escrutínio de backlash dos media, devido a alegados casos de má conduta, dececionando os seus consumidores e afetando as suas avaliações perante a marca. Os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODSs), particularmente o ODS #17, oferecem uma oportunidade para as marcas atuarem juntas por um futuro melhor. Assim, um estudo foi conduzido para analisar o impacto do backlash dos media sobre marcas bem estabelecidas (mainstream vs. sustentáveis) nas avaliações dos consumidores e o desempenho da informação sobre ODS #17 - Parceria para os Objetivos como moderador da relação. Os resultados mostram que o backlash dos media tem impacto significativo nas avaliações. No entanto, o ODS #17 como ferramenta informativa de garantia de práticas sociais e ambientais ainda não é suficiente para mitigar totalmente esses efeitos negativos – pode, sim, ser uma ferramenta poderosa para informar e orientar as marcas por meio de ações com propósito. No entanto, as marcas e organizações ainda precisam de comunicar melhor acerca do seu contributo para causas sociais e ambientais.

Full textThis study examines how design can promote positive behavioral change for adult gamers, focusing on sustainable behaviors. Gaming is the fastest growing segment within the entertainment industry and the growth is contributing to a raised number of accessories gamers consume. Electronic waste is a growing concern where the user doesn’t see themselves as a part of the problem, but at the same time pressure the manufacturers to act sustainable. A design process shows how motivation from norms and social pressure can facilitate interactions that shapes the user behavior in a positive way. By identifying an unwillingness to change from both the manufacturers and consumers of gaming accessories, the study shows that it is not enough to develop sustainable alternatives if one aims to facilitate a sustainable behavior. From the design process the study creates a design proposal, Kolla klockan, that exemplifies how a designer can work with sustainable development from the use of behavioral change as a tool to do so, instead of the more traditional methods more commonly promoted within the field of design.

Full textUrban planning plays an important role when working for achieving sustainable development. According to the Swedish Environmental Code, a screening has to be executed for every local plan to investigate whether or not the plan generates significant environmental impact. The screening process is however often based on poor knowledge about the environmental aspects that are evaluated, and neither is there room for adaptation of the plan to eliminate identified environmental impact. An improved strategy for the screening process is needed, which has emphasis on the adaptation and a reduction of the environmental impact early in the process. In this master thesis, the screening process for local planning was studied at the municipality in Örebro, a medium sized city in Sweden. The purpose of the study was to establish a new more holistic working process for screening within local planning, to facilitate and enhance sustainable urban planning. Interviews were carried out at the planning department of the municipality, and sustainable development theories and the law were studied. Municipality targets that related to sustainability were extracted from their policy documents and summarized. The objective was to investigate whether an alternative strategy with suitable process tools could be created for screening within local planning at the municipality that is also applicable in practice and in line with prevailing laws and policies. The thesis resulted in a strategy document and two accompanying checklists, and the conclusion is that a new strategy should include an iterative and multidisciplinary working process, along with an alternation between checklists, depending on scope of the local plan. This strategy should be applicable within the municipality organization without compromising the environmental assessment quality when carrying out an extensive local plan that entails a potentially big environmental impact.
