Abstract:

In 2015 the 17 Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by 193 member states of the United Nations. The SDGs are highly ambitious and their underlying processes are interconnected by causal relationships. Work towards fulfilling them therefore requires considering how solutions for one goal will impacts others. In this study target-oriented backcasting is applied to examine set goals in the future, as well as to determine the current state and trends of development. This is done in an effort to determine conflicts between targets and resource limitations of future development. The findings s

Abstract:

The aim of this qualitative interpretive study is to look into SDG implementation in Sweden from a governance for sustainable development perspective. This research is to be seen as a first attempt at mapping the state of governance for sustainable development in relation to SDG implementation in Sweden – further research is both necessary and welcomed in order to get a complete picture of the situation. Seven key components of governance for sustainable development developed by Gibson et al. (2005) are used as a theoretical framework for the study. Those key components are; policy integration

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a well-known and comprehensive framework for sustainable development.

Abstract:

An important outcome of a university business education is to shape individuals who are capable of working in and operating businesses that deliver economically profitable, socially responsible and ecologically viable services.

Research evidence indicates, however, that students often graduate without these skills. A potential reason for this is the design of tourism curricula based on weaker conceptualisat

The role of taxation in gender inequality is something that is perhaps not considered earnestly enough. Both in South Africa and within the context of global initiatives such as the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which are aimed at eradicating all forms of gender-based discrimination, the importance of understanding the gender consequences of tax policy, whether intended or not, should not be underestimated.

Företag är idag ständigt granskade och kravet på att visa transparens blir mer och mer efterfrågat från företagets intressenter. Intressenters efterfrågan på kommunikation om hur företag arbetar med hållbarhet är inget undantag. Hållbarhetsredovisning är enligt svensk lagstiftning inte en speciellt detaljerad lag utan företag har stora möjligheter att kommunicera ut det som deras intressenter efterfrågar samt det som de själva önskar kommunicera. Under 2015 skapade FN Agenda 2030 som täcker vår världs stora ekonomiska, sociala och miljömässiga problem. Agenda 2030 grundas i 17 globala miljömål
