2. 1. Systems Perspectives on Modelling and Managing Future Anthropogenic Emissions in Urban Areas : Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Carbon Studies in Stockholm, Sweden

   Author : Jiechen Wu; Maria E. Malmström; Daniel Franzén; Daniel Müller; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anthropogenic emissions; Urban development; Future; Substance flow analysis SFA ; DPSIR.;

   Abstract : Managing anthropogenic emissions in urban areas is a major challenge in sustainable environmental development for cities, and future changes and increasing urbanisation may increase this challenge. Systems perspectives have become increasingly important in helping urban managers understand how different changes may alter future emissions and whether current management strategies can efficiently manage these emissions.

6. 4. Industrial Ecology Approaches to Improve Metal Management : Three Modeling Experiments

   Author : Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Amir Rashid; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; element flow analysis; industrial ecology; product systems; end-of-life; DPSIR; pressure-based driver-oriented approach; environmental management; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

   Abstract : A linear model of consumption − produce-use-dispose − has constantly increased the pressure on the environment in recent decades. There has been a great belief that technology will solve the problem, but in many cases it is only partly contributing to the solution. For a full solution, the root causes of problems need to be identified. READ MORE

7. 5. Re:ally re:think – seeking to understand the matters of sustainable fashion

   Author : Celinda Palm; Sarah Cornell; Tiina Häyhä; Fredrik Moberg; Mathilda Tham; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Fashion; Sustainability; Social-ecological system; Critical realism; Transdisciplinarity; Circular economy; Driver-state-response; DPSIR; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Academic studies of sustainable fashion, and the discourses of actors in business and policy, under-define fashion as a system by treating the social and ecological aspects of fashion separately. This reduces the potential for academic findings to provide knowledge useful for transformation of the fashion system and obstructs desired outcomes from policy and business responses to fashion’s negative social and environmental impacts.
