Organisational Change Management for Sustainability
This book is aimed at providing clarity through a systemic and systematic approach to organisational change management for sustainability.Chapter 2 of the provides an overview of sustainable development and sustainability discourses, focussing on the economic, environmental, social, and time dimensions, as well as their interactions.Chapter 3 explains what organisations are, the types of organisations (civil society, corporations, education, public sector, and hybrid), the levels and system elements (individuals, groups, organisation, and system), attitudes (informational, emotional, and behavioural), the stakeholders that affect and are affected by the organisation, and the interactions between organisations (from competition to collaboration).Chapter 4 focuses on how organisations have been addressing sustainability, divided into 1) efforts to contribute to sustainability (i.e. focussing outside the organisation), and 2) engagement efforts (i.e. those focussing inside the organisation, e.g. through the use of tools, initiatives, and approaches for sustainability, and collaboration).Chapter 5 discusses change, types of change (internal vs. external, proactive vs. reactive, etc.), change strategies, change frameworks, and change for sustainability in organisations.Chapter 6 focusses on three key mechanisms for sustainability: Leadership, Governance, and Assessment and reporting (with examples from Higher Education Institutions, corporations, and public sector organisations).Chapter 7 discusses on the different drivers (internal, connecting, and external) that foster sustainability in organisations.Examples from empirical research are presented. Chapter 8 delves into resistance to change, particularly on the barriers that slow down or stop sustainability in organisations, as well as the strategies to overcome the barriers to change.Examples from empirical research are presented. The seventh chapter focuses on the different strategies that help reduce or eliminate resistance to sustainability in organisations.Examples from empirical research are presented. Chapter 9 focusses on where sustainability efforts have started (incorporation) and how have they been adopted throughout the organisation (institutionalisation).Examples from empirical research are presented. Chapter 10 presents the effects of external stimuli, such as COVID-19 on organisational change management for sustainability.

Fashion and Sustainability: Design for Change
This book examines how sustainability has the potential to transform both the fashion system and the innovators who work within it. Sustainability is arguably the defining theme of the twenty-first century.The issues in fashion are broad-ranging and include labour abuses, toxic chemicals use and conspicuous consumption, giving rise to an undeniable tension between fashion and sustainability.The book is organized in three parts. The first part is concerned with transforming fashion products across the garment's lifecycle and includes innovation in materials, manufacture, distribution, use and re-use.The second part looks at ideas that are transforming the fashion system at root into something more sustainable, including new business models that reduce material throughput.The third section is concerned with transforming the role of fashion designers and looks to examples where the designer changes from a stylist or creator into a communicator, activist or facilitator.

Can one distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling. Recycling involves processing used materials into new products of the same or similar quality, while downcycling involves converting materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves creating new products of higher quality or value from used materials. Each of these processes has different environmental and economic impacts, with upcycling generally being the most sustainable option.

Can one distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling. Recycling involves breaking down materials to create new products of equal or lesser quality. Downcycling refers to the process of turning materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves transforming waste materials into products of higher value or quality. Each process plays a different role in the circular economy and sustainability efforts.

Does waste reduction go beyond waste recycling?
Yes, waste reduction goes beyond waste recycling. While recycling is an important part of waste management, waste reduction focuses on minimizing the amount of waste produced in the first place. This can be achieved through practices such as reducing packaging, reusing items, and implementing more sustainable production processes. By focusing on waste reduction, we can decrease the overall environmental impact of waste and move towards a more circular and sustainable economy.

Agricultural Innovation for Societal Change : Towards Sustainability
Over the centuries, agriculture has developed through technological steps illustrated by various agricultural revolutions.This book describes and analyses significant agricultural changes since the mid-1960s in the context of development, innovation and adoption by revisiting resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago, and considering overall development changes up to the early 2020s.It is a platform for discussing current issues for future global food security in the context of globalization and free global trade which have influenced economic growth in many countries but also created environmental concerns and a rapid increase in the number of transnational corporations (TNCs).Sustainable food production is now a global priority and therefore ecological footprints must be reduced - this book provides examples of possible technical changes required to achieve this.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient: political attention must be paid to declining biodiversity, the increasing global exploration of natural resources, demography, increased consumption, waste mountains, expanding migration and antibiotic resistance.Agribusiness TNCs will challenge national governments and international donors in both research and development, increasing competition for leadership.A gradual societal change, incorporating an understanding of biological fundamentals, is necessary for achieving sustainability and for leading us towards the next agricultural revolution.

What is waste separation and recycling?
Waste separation is the process of sorting different types of waste materials into separate categories such as paper, plastic, glass, and organic waste. Recycling involves taking these separated materials and processing them to create new products, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. By separating waste and recycling, we can help conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and minimize the impact of waste on the environment.

Is plastic waste good for the environment?
No, plastic waste is not good for the environment. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to decompose, and during that time it can release harmful chemicals into the soil and water. Plastic waste also poses a threat to wildlife, as animals can become entangled in it or mistake it for food. Additionally, the production of plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of natural resources. Therefore, efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic waste are essential for protecting the environment.
