Hur mycket växterna producerar styrs till stor utsträckning av klimatet samt hur mycket koldioxid som finns i atmosfären. Detta gör att de föNet primary production (NPP) serves as an indicator for plant-based resources such as food, timber and biofuel for human appropriation. It is defined by the annual production of plant matter and is mainly controlled by climate and human activities. Climate change in combination with human activities is altering NPP.

This is more than twice the number of people who have been newly displaced by conflict in the same period (IDMC, 2016). The small island developing states (SIDS) in the Pacific and the Caribbean belong to the most hazard-prone regions of the world. Yet, the dynamics of disaster-induced di

The internal dimension of an individual is a potential deep leverage point for a collective change toward sustainability that is currently overlooked. Especially in their professional context, certain individuals can create change beyond themselves and the enterprise subjected to them. The environment of individuals, however, influences the activated potential of individuals for contributing to th
