Barriers with social and environmental compliance : A qualitative study of compliance in supply chains within the clothing industry

Ioannou, Nicolina January 2021 (has links)
There is an increased public pressure on clothing brands to consider environmental and social issues when sourcing from suppliers in developing countries, and to ensure that their supply chain partners do the same. However, social, and environmental issues within the clothing industry are complex with many actors involved. Avoidance of compliance with social and environmental requirements are not uncommon and contributes to the continuing exploitation of humans and environment in the country of production, thus hindering the possibility of social change. This study investigates the perceived challenges with sustainability initiatives in supply chains within the global clothing industry and takes on a qualitative research approach with an interpretive basis. This study investigates the barriers to achieve social and environmental compliance through a content analysis of four global clothing brands supply chain governance strategies, and by interviews with two NGOs. The empirical findings shows that suppliers face increase compliance requirements with additional costs on their side, but with no financial support from clothing brands. Consequently, the perceived injustice between input costs and gains contribute to that suppliers avoid compliance to balance their additional costs.

The Sámi – Confronted with Climate Injustices : Exposing inconsistencies within global climate mitigation measures

Schneider, Julia January 2023 (has links)
This study examines the cultural practices of the Sámi people and how they are affected by climate (in)justice within the European Union (EU). The establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has led many global actors such as the EU to commit and implement sustainable mitigation strategies. This paper explores if the EU in pursuit of sustainable development has neglected human rights issues through its mitigation strategies. This is important to understand in order to safeguard indigenous communities´ rights within the EU in light of the climate crisis and to avoid climate injustices in the form of racism, discrimination, and exclusion. This study makes use of three theoretical frameworks: green colonialism, environmental and climate justice, and textual analysis as a method to analyse gathered material. This paper argues that the Sámi and their cultural practices are neglected within decision-making processes and sustainable mitigation strategies, threatening Sámi livelihood security and their cultural identity. The analysis as part of a larger issue highlights tensions within sustainable development pursuits on a global level.

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Hazards, Environmental and Health Risks as the Latent Products of Late Modernity

Clarey, Bryan R 18 May 2012 (has links)
CAFOs raise tens of thousands of animals in confined cages and feedlots, feed them high calorie diets, and ship them to slaughter in record time. These factory farms (as they are sometimes called) devastate neighboring environments with the releases of toxic methane gas and animal waste. Progress in modernized agricultural production has enabled us to feed the growing population but unintended consequences for human health and neighboring communities are happening. This study examines environmental and human health impacts of CAFOs on Central Mississippi residents. Through analyses of existing studies and data and telephone surveys, the objectives will be met. Risk society theory is used to explain the increase of diseases and environmental risks associated with CAFOs in late modernity. The results do not indicate that neighboring residents of CAFOs in Central Mississippi are more likely to have ill health, a negative quality of life, or environmental degradation, overall.

Over the years, the question has many faces and many speeches. From the moment in which the Governments of the State and the municipality, since the years of 1950, made the popular representations of the slums part of its political representations, the power of discussion, participation and claim this portion of the population was diminished and dispersed. This fact paved the way for handling investments and public policies that have increased social inequality and, consequently, in places such as the neighborhood of Caju, promoted business growth policies, so intense and predatory who created in concomitance to social problems, severe environmental injustice frames. In search for the strengthening of this stage of debate, this research seeks to collaborate with the portrait of a region barely visible in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, and that since its occupation as housing area, has been transformed into environmental scanning utility territory, where inequalities arise and imprison an increasing population in the circuits of social and environmental risk. The result is a fragile reality display, and the deeper discussion about the social and environmental situation in the neighborhood of Caju / Desde o final do período monárquico, e já no nascimento da república, o problema social da pobreza e das favelas já impactava a formação da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Ao longo dos anos, a questão adotou muitas faces e muitos discursos. A partir do momento em que os governos do Estado e do Município, desde os anos de 1950, tornaram as representações populares das favelas parte de suas representações políticas, o poder de discussão, participação e reivindicação dessa parcela da população foi diminuído e disperso. Tal fato abriu caminho para a manipulação de investimentos e políticas públicas que aumentaram a desigualdade social e, por conseguinte, em locais como o bairro do Caju, promoveram políticas de crescimento empresarial tão intensas e predatórias, que criaram, em concomitância aos problemas sociais, graves quadros de injustiça ambiental. Na busca pelo fortalecimento deste palco de debates, esta pesquisa pretende colaborar com a composição do retrato de uma região, pouco visível no município do Rio de Janeiro, que, desde sua ocupação como área de moradia, vem sendo transformada em território utilitário de exploração ambiental. Nela, as desigualdades afloram e aprisionam uma população cada vez maior nos circuitos de risco social e ambiental. O resultado desta pesquisa é a exposição de uma realidade frágil e a discussão mais profunda sobre a situação social e ambiental do bairro do Caju.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 8841136 bytes, checksum: aaa642f094b0481f15236b39854feb0a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-16 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This is a study of Environmental Education, management and participation. It is the analysis of a situation of degradation and, at the same time, the revitalization of the “Piabas” Stream, in Campina Grande, PB. It was felt as an environmental injustice and the main concepts that guided the study were perception, (in) environmental justice, environmental education and management, from the perspective of citizenship and participation. The general objective: to Investigate the advances and limitations of the mobilization process/inter-institutional articulation by revitalising the Piabas Stream, in Campina Grande, PB; The specific goals were defined as follows: Analyze the perception and motivation of the Community in the process of revitalization, as well as the existence of channels of access in regards to the public; Characterize the main environmental problems in the riverside communities of the Piabas Stream from the point of view of local residents; Gather information about environmental actions carried out in the area, especially those regarding the Social Environmental mobilization revitalising the Stream of Piabas. As we tried to understand the complexity of the question, we have outlined a methodological path based on bibliographic and documentary research. In addition, we used the technique of participant observation, the application of semi-structured questionnaires and a photographic record. The analysis of the data took place from categories such as satisfaction regarding the situation of pollution, the diagnosis of the situation, and desire for change, critical to the public powers that be, such as State, Legislative, Executive and Judiciary, as well as suggestions for improvement and self-criticism. The results point to the fact that there is a potential conflict, that the definition of roles and responsibilities is not yet clear for the majority, that the public power has been relatively silent, that the schools, the teachers and children are actors with potential for transformation are essential, that the Community, despite being dissatisfied, has little if mobilized and that the linkage came to formalize and to unite forces in a movement of resistance some years ago, but who needs the strength of Community willing to enter and stay in the fight and, above all, modify their way of working and relationship with the environment in which they live, because that is the only way that there will be no transformation and revitalisation of the Piabas Stream and the dignity of the population contingent. / Este é um estudo de Educação Ambiental, gestão e participação. Trata-se da análise de uma situação de degradação e de, ao mesmo tempo, revitalização do Riacho das Piabas, em Campina Grande-PB. Entendeu-se como uma situação de injustiça ambiental e os conceitos principais que nortearam o estudo foram percepção, (in) justiça ambiental, educação ambiental e gestão, na perspectiva da cidadania e da participação. O objetivo geral: Investigar os avanços e limites do processo de mobilização/articulação interinstitucional pela revitalização do Riacho das Piabas, em Campina Grande-PB; Os objetivos específicos foram assim definidos: Analisar a percepção e motivação dos comunitários no processo de revitalização, assim como a (in)existência de canais de acesso à esfera pública; Caracterizar os principais problemas ambientais nas comunidades ribeirinhas do Riacho das Piabas sob o ponto de vista dos moradores locais; Levantar informações acerca das ações socioambientais realizadas na área, especialmente aquelas referentes à mobilização socioambiental pela revitalização do Riacho das Piabas. Como buscou-se compreender a complexidade em questão traçou-se um caminho metodológico baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Além disso, utilizou-se a técnica de observação participante, a aplicação de questionários semiestruturados e o registro fotográfico. A análise dos dados deu-se a partir de categorias como (in)satisfação quanto à situação de poluição, ao diagnóstico da situação, desejo de mudança, críticas ao poder público, sugestões de melhoria e autocrítica. Os resultados apontam para o fato de que existe um conflito potencial, que a definição de papéis e responsabilidades ainda não está clara para a maioria, que o poder público tem sido relativamente omisso as escolas, os educadores e as crianças são atores com potencial de transformação imprescindíveis, que os comunitários apesar de estarem insatisfeitos pouco tem se mobilizado e que a articulação veio para formalizar e somar forças em um movimento que resiste há anos, mas que precisa da força de comunitários dispostos a entrar e permanecer na luta e, acima de tudo, modificar sua forma de atuação e relação com o meio em que vivem, pois só assim haverá transformação e revitalização do Riacho das Piabas e da dignidade daquele contingente populacional.

For so much, the research dove in the new universe of the political ecology and of the movement for environmental justice that you relate environmental problems and social inequalities as originated of a model of unjust development, where the negative environmental damages relapse, in his majority, for the poorest populations and discriminated. This environmental focus differs of the traditional ecological studies about shortage and preservation of natural resources, there be to analyze the environment and the social actors jointly. He took place, in the first chapter, a literature revision on the environment and the environmental damage, the origin of the movement for environmental justice, through authors of the field of the right, environmental sociology, political ecology and ecological economy, and later the relationship of the movement with the development of a nation. In a second moment, it was studied the environmental conflicts as form of environmental injustice, through the approach of the social sciences, being outstanding the concept, the types of conflicts, the currents that look for solutions for the conflicts and the methodological bases in political ecology for the environmental conflicts. In the third chapter the research was accomplished, through the analysis of public civil actions environmental proposed by the Public prosecution service of the state of Paraíba and Amazon, being the results distributed in tables and graphs that indicate that the state in the state of Paraíba there are still few environmental actions when compared with Amazon; that the more predominant environmental conflict is the space that it elapses of the human action; the larger time of the conflicts is the ones that elapse of territorial disputes and the ones that involve great enterprises; the request of the Public prosecution service and the judicial decision tend her an obligation of to do or not to do to repair the damage environmental with condemnation in money and the Judiciary Power of the state of Amazon related environmental degradation and risks to the human beings in most of their actions, taking communion with the premises of the movement for environmental justice and political ecology that analyze the environment and populations for the consequences. / A pesquisa analisou a atuação do Poder Judiciário através do exame das decisões judiciais decorrentes de ação civil pública proposta pelo Ministério Público Federal do Estado da Paraíba e Amazonas diante de um dano ambiental. O foco de analise é a relação humana e ambiental com ênfase na questão ambiental não apenas em termos de preservação, mas distribuição e justiça. Para tanto, a pesquisa mergulhou no novo universo da ecologia política e do movimento por justiça ambiental que relacionam problemas ambientais e desigualdades sociais como originadas de um modelo de desenvolvimento injusto, onde os danos ambientais negativos recaem, em sua maioria, para as populações mais pobres e discriminadas. Este enfoque ambiental diferencia-se dos tradicionais estudos ecológicos sobre escassez e preservação de recursos naturais, haja analisar o meio ambiente e os atores sociais conjuntamente. Realizou-se, no primeiro capítulo, uma revisão de literatura sobre o meio ambiente e o dano ambiental, a origem do movimento por justiça ambiental, através de autores do campo do direito, sociologia ambiental, ecologia política e economia ecológica, e posteriormente a relação do movimento com o desenvolvimento de uma nação. Em um segundo momento, estudou-se os conflitos ambientais como forma de injustiça socioambiental, através da abordagem das ciências sociais, sendo destacado o conceito, os tipos de conflitos, as correntes que buscam soluções para os conflitos e as bases metodológicas em ecologia política para os conflitos ambientais. No terceiro capítulo foi realizada a pesquisa propriamente dita, através da análise de ações civis públicas ambientais propostas pelo Ministério Público Federal do Estado da Paraíba e Amazonas, sendo os resultados distribuídos em tabelas e gráficos que indicam que o estado no Estado da Paraíba ainda há poucas ações ambientais quando comparado com o Amazonas; que o conflito ambiental mais predominante é o espacial que decorre da ação humana; o tempo maior dos conflitos são os que decorrem de disputas territoriais e os que envolvem grandes empreendimentos; o pedido do Ministério Público e a decisão judicial tendem a uma obrigação de fazer ou não fazer para reparar o dano ambiental cumulada com condenação em dinheiro e o Poder Judiciário do Estado do Amazonas relacionou degradação ambiental e riscos aos seres humanos na maioria de suas ações, comungando com as premissas do movimento por justiça ambiental e ecologia política que analisam o meio ambiente e suas consequências para as populações.

A natureza é privatizada via licenciamento ambiental, mediante atuação articulada entre Estado e capital, respaldados pelo mito do Desenvolvimento Sustentável promotor da aliança impossível entre crescimento e proteção ambiental, discurso amortecedor de resistências e maquiador de impactos e conflitos ambientais, processo que desenha a crise ecológica e sua relação direta com o modelo hegemônico capitalista. Valendo-se do método dialético, mediante revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa documental em documentos públicos relativos ao processo licenciamento ambiental da duplicação da rodovia BR-116/392 no RS, de informativos produzidos pelo licenciado (DNIT) e de jornais locais, a pesquisa objetivou identificar limites e potencialidades da Educação Ambiental (EA) na gestão ambiental pública como medida mitigadora e compensatória de impactos ambientais e sociais, e suas implicâncias na participação das comunidades atingidas para o controle social do Estado e na distribuição do ônus e do bônus de obras e/ou atividades efetivas ou potencialmente poluidoras, na perspectiva do enfrentamento da injustiça ambiental. Para tanto, especificidades da EA neste cenário foram identificadas e relacionadas com a sua potência em manter (EA Conservadora) ou superar a injustiça ambiental e a degradação na natureza (EA Transformadora) aproveitando-se do caráter contraditório do Estado. Destacou-se a influência do Liberalismo e do Neoliberalismo no arcabouço legal brasileiro, apontando o papel contraditório e atuante do Estado frente aos ímpetos da acumulação do capital concluindo-se que as políticas ambientais, onde está inserida a EA, em geral não tem obtido êxito em mitigar e/ou compensar a crise ecológica na escala necessária, mas tão somente regular a degradação e a apropriação privada da natureza, reificando quem ganha e quem perde neste processo. Por fim, são apontados aperfeiçoamentos a EA vinculada ao licenciamento ambiental. / The private appropriation of nature and degrading is uneven, as it excludes the oppressed classes, called environmental injustice phenomenon. Nature is privatized via environmental licensing by the articulation between state and capital, backed by the myth of Sustainable Development promoter alliance impossible between growth and environmental protection, shock resistance and speech makeup of environmental impacts and conflicts, a process that draws the ecological crisis and its direct relationship with the hegemonic capitalist model. Making use of the dialectical method, through literature review and documentary research in public documents relating to the licensing process of doubling the highway BR- 116/392 in RS, licensed by the produced information (DNIT) and local newspapers, the survey aimed to identify limits and potential of environmental education (EE) in public management as mitigation and compensatory measure environmental and social impacts and their implications on the participation of affected communities for social control of the state and distribution of the burden and the bonus works and/or effective activities or potentially polluting, in view of the environmental injustice confrontation. Therefore, specific EE in this scenario were identified and related to its power to keep (EE Conservative) or exceed environmental injustice and degradation in nature (EE Manufacturing) taking advantage of the contradictory character of the state. Highlighted the influence of liberalism and neoliberalism in the Brazilian legal framework, pointing the contradictory and active role of the state to the front of capital accumulation outbursts concluding that environmental policies, where it operates the EE in general has not been successful to mitigate and/or compensate for the ecological crisis on the scale required, but only regulate the degradation and the private appropriation of nature, reifying who wins and who loses in this process. Finally, improvements are pointed EE linked to environmental licensing.
