Tracking Environmental Impacts in Global Product Chains
Tracking environmental impacts in global product chains - Rare Earth Metals and other critical metals used in the cleantech industry. Metals form a central part of the global economy, but their extraction and supply are linked to several environmental and social concerns. This study aims to create a picture of the supply chain of Rare Earth Metals (REMs) and other critical metals used in the clean technology (cleantech) sectors of electric vehicles and solar panels. The study examines how Nordic cleantech companies are aware and acting on the challenges related to the lifecycle of these metals and what are the potentials to minimise environmental and social impacts. Recommendations of the study can be summarised as three initiatives: establishment of an awareness platform and roundtable initiative (short-term), research and information gathering (mid-term), and development of closed-loop solutions (long-term).
Transitioning to Quality Education
Transitioning to Quality Education focuses on the fourth UN Sustainable Development Goal. According to SDG 4, every learner should acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development (UN 2015, 17). Thus, the aim of sustainability education is to foster learners to be creative and responsible global citizens, who critically reflect on the ideas of sustainable development and the values that underlie them, and take responsible actions for sustainable development (UNESCO 2017). Sustainability is strongly connected to attitudes and values, therefore, applications of sustainability are complicated. Quality education requires teachers to have competences, knowledge, and skil...
Mapping Education for Sustainability in the Nordic Countries
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-511/ The project is concerned with sustainability in compulsory education in the Nordic countries and is part of the Iceland Presidency Project for the Nordic Council of Ministers initiated in 2018. The overall focus of the Presidency Project is on young people but this report looks at policy, curricula, teacher education and school practices. The analysis shows both similarities and differences across the Nordic Region. Compulsory education in the Nordic countries share some striking similarities, reflecting a strong emphasis on certain aspects of sustainability such as equality, democracy.Although sustainability education has a clear application in the fields of social and political life and economic activities in all of the Nordic countries, it is still the case that when sustainability education is discussed, an environmental perspective is most often taken.

Winning Strategies for a Sustainable Future
Since the first Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, many states have been looking for a new concept of economic and social progress. The environmental crises of the last years, as well as the global economic and financial crisis, require an even more profound shift in thinking - toward a policy committed to sustainability and intergenerational equity. But how can this goal be achieved? The publication for the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2013, "Winning Strategies for a Sustainable Future," presents pioneering approaches from different continents. Bhutan, Costa Rica, Finland, Ghana and Tasmania are examples that show sustainability is feasible. These principles also open up new perspectives for Germany. Today, we know that sustainability is the great challenge of the 21st century. The guiding principle of sustainable development implies taking economic, social and environmental concerns into account in a balanced manner. Our focus in this regard must be improving the quality of life for all people.
THE ESCAPADES OF ALINA JAMES
Rini Bhatia is a passionate writer who loves to pen down her wild imagination. She was not into reading that much until she read books by great authors like, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. Her desire to read books by such authors in particular made her realize that she only liked one genre of books - mystery. Her first book ‘THE ESCAPADES OF ALINA JAMES’, written by her at the age of thirteen, is a result of her burning passion to write short stories based on crimes and mysteries. Her writing style is simple, yet so gripping that it is difficult to put the book down.
Erfolgreiche Strategien für eine nachhaltige Zukunft
Seit dem ersten Erdgipfel in Rio de Janeiro 1992 sind zahlreiche Staaten auf der Suche nach einem neuen Verständnis von wirtschaftlichem und gesellschaftlichem Fortschritt. Die Umweltkrisen der letzten Jahre sowie die globale Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise erfordern ein noch stärkeres Umdenken - hin zu einer nachhaltigen, generationengerechten Politik. Doch wie lässt sich dieses Ziel erreichen? Um die Diskussion und das Lernen voneinander voranzutreiben, wurde eine weltweite Recherche durchgeführt. Das Ziel dabei war, Best Practices zu identifizieren, die die deutsche und globale Debatte zur Gestaltung erfolgreicher Nachhaltigkeitspolitik anregen können. Die Publikation stellt wegweisende Ansätze aus verschiedenen Kontinenten vor. Die Beispiele Bhutan, Costa Rica, Finnland, Ghana und Tasmanien belegen: Nachhaltigkeit ist machbar. Auf dieser Grundlage ergeben sich auch für Deutschland neue Perspektiven.
Marat
Who is Marat? A man hard to find, hard to leave, and impossible to forget. This book is a journey. Fascinating. Surprising. Obsessive. The dream of love is turned into reality, it is waiting for you somewhere... in a dusty corner of the world, in an inexplicable twitching of the heart, in an hourglass.
