Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The book showcases examples of university engagement in community initiatives and reports on the results from research and from a variety of institutional projects and programmes. As a whole, the book illustrates how actors at the community (microlevel) and other levels (meso and macro) can make valuable and concrete contributions to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, more specifically, to achieving the objectives defined at the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.It is one of the outcomes of the “Second World Symposium on Sustainability Science”, which was jointly organised by the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (Brazil), the Research and Transfer Centre “Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management” and the “European School of Sustainability Science and Research” at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), in cooperation with the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP).

Integrating Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development
Addressing Challenges and Creating Opportunities
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is a truly interdisciplinary publication, useful to scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies and private companies, undertaking research and/or executing projects focusing on social responsibility and sustainability from across the world.Sustainable development has become a matter of central concern to both public institutions and enterprises. Indeed, for many companies, a due emphasis to environmental issues is not only positive from the point of view of environmental gains, but also to the image of the business. Often, but not always, this is reflected in the preparation of formal strategies and programmes, which entail their institutional strategies and visions. The wide area of social responsibility, often known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), entails elements of social equality and environmental accountability, and eco-efficiency. Due to their complexity, the interrelations between social responsibility and sustainable development need to be better understood. There is also a real need to showcase successful examples of how public institutions and companies are handling their sustainability challenges. It is against this background that this book has been produced.

Sustainability is now a widely spread concept, and much progress has been achieved since the 1970s, when it started to be widely discussed. At present, many international organizations and scientists are active in implementing sustainable development as a whole and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in particular. Nevertheless, the main research agenda is being led by some countries, providing a good opportunity for other nations and regions which have not yet been so active, to bring their viewpoints to the global discussion. One of these regions is Latin America.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectorial and cross-cultural interactions among the various stakeholders working in the field of sustainability in Latin America and beyond, this book pursues two main aims:a) to provide research institutions, universities, NGOs, government agencies, and enterprises from the region with an opportunity to present their works in the field of sustainability andb) to document and promote ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of sustainability projects, especially successful initiatives and good practice across the Latin America region.Last but not least, a further aim of the book is to present methodological approaches and experiences deriving from case studies and projects, which aim to show how sustainability may be enhanced in practice.

This book brings together cutting edge research on sustainability, cleaner production, and circular economy transitions, offering readers a broad and integrated view of how societies and industries can move toward more resilient, equitable, and resource efficient futures. Drawing on selected contributions from the 13th International Workshop on Advances in Cleaner Production, it examines real world challenges and solutions across multiple sectors, including energy systems, agriculture, textiles, manufacturing, and supply chains. The chapters explore topics such as climate resilient energy transitions, nexus based sustainability evaluation, strategies for critical raw materials, alternatives to problematic plastics, biodegradable materials innovation, and justice oriented supply chain management. They also investigate circularity in the built environment, digital product passports, life cycle assessment applications, and the role of leadership in advancing circular practices within small and medium enterprises. With case studies from countries including Brazil, China, Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, Turkey, Mexico, and Canada, the book highlights how interdisciplinary methods, technological advances, and ethical governance frameworks can support cleaner production, inform policymaking, and accelerate the global shift toward sustainable development.
