Welcome to our first Panel Discussion with Envirot

Welcome to our first Panel Discussion with Envirotravel X HaSS! During this event we invite representatives from Hagaintiativet, LRF, Naturskyddsföreningen and F.d. Oxfam to discuss if Negative Emission Technologies are - Key in the fight against climate change or just tricky greenwashing?
🌿
The first participant is Nina Ekelund from Hagaintiativet. Hagaintiativet is a business network that focuses on reducing the CO2 emission and the climate impact of different business corporations. The initiative includes for instance Axfood and Stockholm Exergi.
🌿 The second participant is Jens Berggren participating from LRF. LRF is an interest and business organisation for the green industry with approximately 140 000 individual members. LRF wants to create the appropriate conditions for sustainable and competitive companies and to develop a favourable base for social life and enterprise in rural areas.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Across regions, from the local to the global, we work with people to bring change that lasts.
🌿
This panel discussion will be aimed to present different view and perspectives on NET, Negative Emissions Technologies, which is the topic of this years Envirotravel. We will discuss questions like:
- Are NETs a good approach? Why/Why not?
- Of all the alternatives in using the forest (BECCS, Bio-Fuel, Environmental friendly materials, etc), what is prio one?
- How should we approach to compensation abroad for national emissions?
🌿
See you on Thursday the 20th of May! The panel discussion will start on 4pm and there will be time for questions at the end.

In the middle of February we gathered the teams and started the planing off the destinations.

~~
Team Coast 🌟 Emma Fahle - Bachelor’s degree in Economics 🌟 Janelle Gutke - SMIL student with a focus on Political Science 🌟 Duyen Dinh - Master in Innovation and Industrial Management 🌟

Today we spend an extra thought on Planet Earth 🌏!

Welcome to our upcoming lecture about Environmenta

Welcome to our upcoming lecture about Environmental law with a focus on Negative emission technologies (NET), with Professor David Langlet. Since the topic of this year’s Envirotravel is NET, this is a co-join lecture between HaSS and EnviroTravel.
🌿
Currently a number of technologies that could generate negative emissions are being explored and all of them are associated with uncertainties and risk. Among these are bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), afforestation and reforestation, and ocean fertilisation. Law plays a potentially crucial role in enabling such technologies and also in handling the associated risks. In some regards, law can also be an obstacle to the deployment of relevant technologies.
🌿
We welcome David Langlet, a Law professor at Handelshögskolan, who is specialised within the field of Environmental Law. David’s lecture will reflect on some legal developments aimed at facilitating or handling these technologies and also some remaining challenges confronting regulatory systems, should more technology intensive approaches like BECCS be employed at large scale.
🌿
See you on Thursday the 29th of April! Find our Facebook event for more details.

Online Lunch Lecture - Arkivet!
♻️
Do you want to learn more about how to build a successful business based on circular fashion? Did you know that 80% of the climate impact comes from Swedish clothing consumption during the production phase and that climate impact can be reduced by 49% by using a garment twice as many times as the average? Join us on Zoom to find out how Arkivet is combining high fashion with a sustainable mindset!
♻️
Arkivet is a modern second-hand store with feminine clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories for the environmentally and fashion-conscious customer. For Arkivet, sustainable fashion is about going from wear-and-tear consumption of clothes, shoes, and accessories to a more long-term use where the clothes can “live on” with new owners. In August 2020, they opened their store on Järntorget (only 10 minutes from Handelshögskolan).
♻️
For this lunch lecture, we welcome Caronline Hamrin, CEO and founder of Arkivet. She is an entrepreneur with a background in business and interior design. Caroline will walk us through her journey within the fashion industry and her take on the future.

ABOUT HASS

Handels Students for Sustainability is a part of the Student Union of the School of Business Economics and Law at Gothenburg University. Our aim is to provide students with tools for integrating sustainability to their future careers.

FIVE PILLARS

Our organization has its foundation in five ground pillars, defining all our activities and projects

Knowledge

Knowledge is the basis for commitment. Without knowledge we cannot make any difference. Therefore, Handels Students for Sustainability will act to give students the possibility to broaden their knowledge about sustainability issues. Furthermore, Handels Students for Sustainability will spread knowledge of ecological, economical and social challenges, in balance between academia and practice.

Incentive

We want to make use of engagement and make sustainable development to a natural incentive in students’ future lives and careers. Handels Students for Sustainability will relate sustainability challenges to all students at the Gothenburg School of Business, Economics and Law ; whether they study on basic or advanced level; law, logistics, economics or environmental science.

Empowerment

To create difference, it requires not only knowledge and willingness. It also requires courage, leadership and tools for change. We want to give our members that. Handels Students for Sustainability will give practical experience and support in project management and change management to develop students’ abilities to drive change in enterprises, organizations and society.

Effect

A sustainable development requires our knowledge used in actions. Our projects will influence and contribute to a perceptible effect in society. Handels Students for Sustainability will act to create a measurable effect towards a more sustainable society.

Context

Many students lack a context and a forum for discussion around important sustainability issues. Handels Students for Sustainability want to contribute to this by creating spaces for discussion, reflection, community and personal development around questions concerning ecological, social and economical sustainability.
