5. 3. 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.

6. 4. Energy efficiency in Swedish SMEs : Exploring barriers, knowledge creation and the role of municipal energy efficiency programs

   Author : Fredrik Backman; Jenny Palm; Patrik Thollander; Max Åhman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Policy programs; energy efficiency networks; Community of Practice COPs ; barriers; knowledge creation; Policyprogram; energieffektiviseringsnätverk; Community of Practice COP ; barriärer; skapande av kunskap;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to analyze how municipalities support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their work to improve their energy efficiency. The purpose of this study is to increase the current understanding of how the methods and tools used by municipalities to assist SMEs in improving their energy efficiency influence the end results in terms of achieved energy efficiency, and how knowledge related to energy efficiency is created within SMEs.

   Abstract : The fashion industry contributes to shaping the state of the planet: impacts of production and consumption of textile fast-fashion are rising, and the growing number of sustainability-oriented actions have not slowed current trends. The industry’s (un)sustainability is mainly researched within two epistemic communities: fashion studies concerned with social sustainability, and circular economy focused on material biophysical and technological aspects of material cycles along the value chain.
