Världen har fått röd flagg i klimatfrågan och måste akut sänka sina koldioxidutsläpp för att nå målen som sattes i Parisavtalet. Trots detta står IKT-sektorn för 2-6 % av världens växthusgasutsläpp och andelen förväntas växa kommande år. IKT behöver ta sitt ansvar för att bygga gröna applikationer. Det finns mycket forskning om grön mjukvaruutveckling, men knappt någon om man faktiskt använder pri

The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas
Energy cooperatives are seen as a way to achieve energy democracy in both academic and activist circles, with often an implicit expectation that they also contribute to energy justice. These assumptions are increasingly being questioned, often on the grounds of the limited diversity of energy cooperative membership. I conducted semi-structured interviews with four German energy cooperatives in ord

The historically rapid growth of modern cities has a tearing effect on our planet, which requires a systematic transformation from linear to circular resource usage and consumption. Scientists and decision makers world-wide propose Circular Cities as a part of the solution, but empirical evidence and theoretical models of their practical implementation is lacking. This study explores the framework
Generally regarded as a sustainable country, Costa Rica faces the future challenge of maintaining their renewable energy performance amidst climate change impacts and the need to integrate intermittent renewables. This thesis explores the opportunities and barriers for Costa Rica to achieve 100% renewable electricity while maintaining energy security, despite its developing nation status. Through
Water scarcity is increasing across different geographical regions of Vietnam. Central drivers of scarcity include population growth and climate change which increase demand and sectoral competition. The legal system is keeping pace to address this trend, but gaps remain in terms of implementation and enforcement. This purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of those gaps via polyce
The decrease in fertility rate has become an increasingly pressing matter worldwide. This research employed the Copenhagen School-rooted theory of securitization in analyzing the discourse on falling fertility rates within South Korea’s defense white papers from 2012 to 2022. In contrast to the mainstream security studies, the argument is that state-specific fertility rates can be considered a thr
