Keskisuomalaiset yritykset ilmastokasvattajina

2017

Ilmastonmuutos vaikuttaa koko globaaliin yhteiskuntaan ja muuttaa ihmisten, yritysten ja valtioiden toimintaympäristöä. Uuteen perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmaan sisältyvät oleellisesti kestävä kehitys, johon kuuluu ilmastokasvatus sekä koulun ulkopuolisten tahojen kanssa oppiminen. Yritysten on huomioitava ilmastonmuutos toiminnassaan ja ne voisivat hyötyä vastuullisesta osallistumisesta ilmastokasvatukseen sidosryhmissään. Suomen ilmastopaneelin hankkeen tutkimuksessa selvitettiin keskisuomalaisten yritysten suhtautumista ja toimia ilmastonmuutokseen suhteen sekä kiinnostusta ilmastokasvatushankkeisiin. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin verkkokyselyllä Keski-Suomen Yrittäjien ja Kauppakamarin av…

What is (not) the point of just transition in food systems?

2022

Food systems are confronted with a low-carbon transition challenge. The need for significant emission reductions in industrial food systems implies significant systemic transformations in food production, processing, and consumption. The wide-reaching impacts of such transformations have evoked public discussion and academic research on just transition in food systems. The undisputable legitimacy of the idea of just transition makes it an attractive concept for all food system actors who might be affected by low-carbon transition policies in direct and indirect ways. Some of the claims that are being made are warranted claims for justice, some merely defend the achieved privileges and benef…

Right to Food and Geoengineering

2023

AbstractClimate change poses grave risks to food security, and mitigation and adaptation actions have so far been insufficient to lessen the risk of climate-induced violations of the right to food. Could safeguarding the right to food, then, justify some forms of geoengineering? This article examines geoengineering through the analytical lens of the right to food. We look at the components of food security and consider how the acceptability of geoengineering relates to the right to food via its impacts on these components. Our examination shows that results vary greatly between different forms of geoengineering: while some forms of geoengineering fail to respect the right to food, certain o…

German and British parliaments and conceptions of the global climate threat during the United Nation Earth Summit of 1992

2019

Ever since the beginning of international climate conservation politics there has been variation across nations in political traditions in debating the climate issue. Political decision-makers have interpreted the scientific findings on global warming with different emphases, thereby giving rise to variation in views on preferred national or international solutions. These tensions first became evident before and during the Earth Summit of the United Nations in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, when the United Nations Climate Change Convention was prepared and eventually signed. This article discusses the historical background of international climate conservation politics and illustrates the tensions…
