1. 1. Student Sustainability Consciousness : Investigating Effects of Education for Sustainable Development in Sweden and Beyond

   Författare :Daniel Olsson; Niklas Gericke; Jelle Boeve-de Pauw; John Piccolo; Jan Činčera; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Education for sustainable development; effects; environmental and sustainability education; holism and pluralism; students; sustainability consciousness; Biology; Biologi;

   Sammanfattning : Environmental and sustainability education has been an important part of education worldwide for many years, aiming to foster pro-environmental behavior among young people. Education for sustainable development (ESD) and its teaching components holism (the approach to the content) and pluralism (the approach to teaching) has been launched as the educational approach to support this aim by empowering young people with action competence for a sustainable future.

3. 2. On sustainability assessment of technical systems : experience from systems analysis with the ORWARE and ecoeffect tools

   Författare :Getachew Assefa; Björn Frostell; Thomas Nybrant; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; technology assessment; interdisciplinarity; sustainability; sustainability assessment; industrial ecology; substance flow analysis; material flow analysis; life cycle assessment; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Engineering research and development work is undergoing a reorientation from focusing on specific parts of different systems to a broader perspective of systems level, albeit at a slower pace. This reorientation should be further developed and enhanced with the aim of organizing and structuring our technical systems in meeting sustainability requirements in face of global ecological threats that have far-reaching social and economic implications, which can no longer be captured using conventional approach of research.

4. 3. Sustainability performance of multi-utility tunnels : Sustainability assessments for furthering knowledge and understanding

   Författare :Filip Bergman; Joakim Johansson; Niclas Svensson; Stefan Anderberg; Sofia Lingegård; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-utility tunnel; Cable and pipe networks; Subsurface infrastructure; Sustainability assessment; Urban underground;

   Sammanfattning : The multi-utility tunnel has received increased attention as an alternative method for the installation of subsurface infrastructure for the distribution of electricity, water, sewage and district heating. In previous research, the multi-utility tunnel (MUT) has been described as a more sustainable technology compared to the conventionally used technique where the cables and pipes are placed with open-cut excavation (OCE), especially when the entire life cycle is taken into account.

5. 4. Management of Sustainability in Construction Works

   Författare :Urban Persson; Byggproduktion; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction works; assessment model; sustainability; Management;

   Sammanfattning : The present global environmental condition is a consequence of the increasing consumption of natural resources whose depletion exceeds what is physically possible to sustain in the long term. The construction sector is a considerable contributor to this resource depletion and sustainability is adopted in the form of the theory of ecological modernization. LÄS MER

7. 5. Sustainability of the Swedish Sugar Sector : Assessment Tool Development and Case Study Appraisal

   Författare :Barry Ness; LUCSUS; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; integrated assessment; DPSIR; scale; sugar beet; sugar; Sustainability science; sustainability assessment; proximity analysis; Scania; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the development of tools and methods for assessing sustainability and applies them to an assessment of the Swedish sugar production system. The thesis’ aims are to compile an overview of the existing approaches for assessing sustainability, to suggest a method(s) for structuring and analyzing complex sustainability issues, and to appraise sustainability impacts from Swedish sugar production.
