Sustainable Value Drivers

Speaker(s): Professor Frank Figge
9 Oct 2013 at University of Leeds

Sustainability Research Institute’s 2013-14 Seminar Series Eco-efficiency is often considered the gold standard for managerial decision making in an environmental context because it seemingly reconciles the efficient use of capital and the efficient use of environmental resources. We challenge this view by disaggregating eco-efficiency to provide an in-depth analysis of corporate eco-efficiency and to identify […]

Itinerant Farming to White House Arrests: a scientist’s view of the climate crisis

Speaker(s): James Hansen
16 May 2013 at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Public lecture at LSE, London The unfolding human-made climate crisis seems almost surrealistic from a scientific perspective. As knowledge of a climate emergency improves, policies change in ways that exacerbate rather than mitigate the situation. The tragedy is that actions needed to stabilise climate, rather than being painful to society, would have multiple benefits, including […]

Speaker(s): Andy Jordan

It can be especially productive of political conflict, pitting those who […]

This has contributed to a proliferation of private standards bodies and initiatives, the […]
