Den svenska turismnäringen växer. Under 2017 omsatte turismnäringen i Sverige 317 miljarder SEK, en ökning med 7,4 % från föregående år (Tillväxtverket, 2018). Fler event och ökad turism medför en ökad påverkan på miljö och klimat men samtidigt fler arbetstillfällen och gynnad samhällsutveckling. I samband med detta väljer flera arrangörer att på ett eller annat vis hållbarhetsmärka sitt evenemangThe Swedish tourism sector is expanding. The turnover of 2017 ended on 317 billion SEK, which is an increase with 7,4 % from the year before (Tillväxtverket, 2018). Increased tourism and more events lead to a bigger impact on the environment while at the same time enhancement in tourism development.

This thesis contributes to the growing body of literature which examines the utilization of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The Sino-Swiss Free Trade Agreement (SSFTA) was not only China’s first FTA with a continental European country, but also a milestone for the Swiss foreign policy. However, the Swiss government needs to demonstrate that the SSFTA works in practice and delivers the negotiated ben

The entrepreneurial pitch plays an integral role in attracting financial capital for a new venture. Notably, previous research has shown that (1) female entrepreneurs are often subjected to discriminatory practices when applying for external capital and (2) entrepreneurs’ communication skills and personal attributes influence investor decision making. Building on these findings, this study explore

This study is a literature review of three market-based instruments used for land management; environmental offsets, payments for ecosystem services (PES) and certification, and how they could be used to mitigate environmental impacts from sugarcane cultivation in Brazil when purchasing biopolymers. The study showed that certification is the most common market-based instrument in Brazil. Offset an

Version 3 av ecoinvent är den första databasen att erbjuda möjligheten att koppla samman livscykelinventeringar (LCI) utefter olika länkningsalgoritmer. Genom dessa länkningsalgoritmer tar ecoinvent nu fram bakgrundslivscykelinventeringar med både medeldata och långsiktig marginaldata (t.ex. över elmarknader i olika länder). Idealt sett representerar långsiktig marginaldata över elmarknader den ytVersion 3 of the ecoinvent database is the first background database to offer the possibility to link life cycle inventories (LCI) according to different linking algorithms. Using those algorithms, ecoinvent now provides both average and long-term, marginal background LCI data, (e.g. for electricity markets for different countries). Long-term, marginal data for electricity markets ideally represen

The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ

Due to their outstanding mechanical properties, fibre reinforced materials allow a substantial reduction of mass for modern vehicles, thus making energy-efficient mobility viable. However, the cost for material and manufacturing of parts made out of carbon exceed the allowable costs for a broad market. New preforming technologies offer a potential to manufacture composite parts in a highly automat

Minimizing changeover times are considered critical by manufacturing industries to decrease non value adding processes, while at the same time being able to respond to changing customer requirements quickly. It is a hard task to manage but in this case a critical part was identified within a package manufacturing machine. The goal was then to find out if this specific part could be redesigned to s

The future prospects of the aerospace industry are bright, with the 2009 aerospace forecast stating that the world commercial aircraft fleet will more than double over the next 20 years. Although, the future use of aircraft materials, and accompanied assembly processes, are rather uncertain. The future of assembly processes has to be assessed in order for suppliers of assembly power tools to devel
