Before this project, I've spent some time over the summer reflecting what I want to do. I've evaluated my lead questions and thought about changing it, to something that focuses on a certain aspect of sustainability efforts. These could be divided in to environmental efforts and social effots. But I find them so intertwined, and feel like this is reassured in the Agenda 2030, where our rights to "prosperity" is defined through our environment and freedom to enjoy it. However, the solutions look very different. I'm thinking that if they are both allowed to come through in the text, through various solutions, they might be able to be portrayed as truly connected as they are.

Evaluating the sources. Over the summer, I wanted to focus more on the stakeholders in relation to each other and what/how their actions make a difference. I realized that this needs to be put into a bigger perspective, such as governmental policies, as this is promoted so frequently in the literature. Therefore, I will need to do more research in to legislations and laws in the industry.

I want to ensure that the reader gets and idea of how genuine the sustainability claims we are all exposed to, are addressed in the dissertation. My experience is that one might start to feel quite neutral towards the word, as we're also faced with reports and news of cases of greenwashing. This needs to be done in order to understand what actions are required to be considered as genuinely sustainable.

Multistakeholder collaboration in a digital age

Multistakeholder collaboration in a digital age

# data[].attributes.body
Digital technologies create new opportunities, but also challenges for collaboration between the public and private sectors and civil society.

How can the risks and harms associated with emerging digital landscapes be addressed through multistakeholder engagement and action?

Own reflections: The presence of ITC presents a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical with the digital and biological worlds. It impacts all disciplines, economies and industries, and challenges the idea about what it means to be human. It is often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution.

Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum means that "that organizations might be unable to adapt; governments could fail to employ and regulate new technologies to capture their benefits; shifting power will create important new security concerns; inequality may grow; and societies fragment."

Stakeholders, i.e. companies, educational systems, organisations and governments - exam further: internal / external

So many interesting examples, specially the execution from CPHW but I would need to rework the dissertation and focus the lead question to something digital/technological.

I've found so many amazing artists who work with the upcycling of everyday objects, both individually and with large fashion houses such as Gucci. I think they're a great example how these actions give birth to a new type of creation and a new branch of artist. I'm wondering if there is space within the text for an example of these types of collaborations.

As I watched the River Blue documentary, I wanted to see what needed to be done to tackle the issue of water consumption, which has led to pollution and water scarcity in both China and India. Deep diving in to this was really rewarding and led to a shift in what I considered would be reasonable solutions. I was positively surprised by the suggestion of cross-collaborations. I would like to find further examples of such collaborations and see how/why/what is being done.

As I've decided to further focus on the attitude and behavior of the consumer, I've had to research further in to the topic. I've found various sources, although few that determine the actual behavior and more so the attitude amongst millennials and gen z.

Is it necessary to make the distinction or does it benefit the dissertation to allow both types of business to be featured, when relevant? Through my research I've found more examples of conventional fashion brands taking sustainable actions, therefore they will be naturally featured.

Turned out to be more of an update in my fashion lexicon and fashion history in 90's, but a great insight into how the industry's framework and largest players. Not useful in terms of sustainability efforts, since this wasn't the focus. Although, the fact that the fashion cycle was taking serious mental toll on designers, such as Alexander McQueen, showed yet another aspect of how the pace of the industry is unsustainable.

As polyester makes up 60% of global fiber production, Livia Firth, the co-founder of Eco-Age, argues that a synthetics-based production can never become sustainable. “The majority of recycled plastic fibres are recycled plastic bottles, so when you throw away the garments, they [still end up as] pollution.” (Chen, 2021) - what's being done about this? Fairbrics raising funds to fund the development of sustainable polyester.
