The Global Compact is s multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to promote and legitimize the practice of CSR. The role of this initiative in securing corporate accountability has received attention both among academics and non-academics. There have recently been some internal developments within the Global Compact relating to the possibility of this initiative to hold its participants to account.
The global climate change governance landscape is rapidly evolving. Non-state actors and institutions increasingly challenge the formal authority of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), operating in parallel with its intergovernmental processes. In particular, multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) carry out several policy functions, becoming established actors within
The new legal framework for marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) will be formally developed under the United Nations due to demands to fill a legal gap addressing BBNJ loss and justly sharing benefits from BBNJ. Since there is no global legal framework for BBNJ even though related agreements exist (i.e., United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and Convention on
BACKGROUND: Prior to COVID-19, >90% of caregivers of people with brain health challenges (dementia, mental ill health, intellectual disability) experienced high levels of distress, burden, loneliness and social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased these impacts, particularly since these caregivers are often older and physically vulnerable themselves. The aim of this cross-s
BACKGROUND: Decolonisation has become a global health priority, addressing inequities rooted in colonial histories that continue to shape power dynamics and knowledge systems. Nordic global health programmes bring together students and faculty from diverse backgrounds in a region defined by inclusive ideals but shaped by underexamined colonial legacies. This context offers a valuable setting to ex
In the past few years, numerous authors have highlighted the emergence of transnational climate initiatives, such as city networks, private certification schemes, and business self-regulation in the policy domain of climate change. While these transnational governance arrangements can surely contribute to solving the problem of climate change, their development by different types of sub- and non-s
Spring phenophases such as the beginning of leaf unfolding, measured in the Irish gardens of the International Phenological Garden (IPG) network, indicate an earlier spring occurrence hence a longer growing season. However, these measurements are limited to selected species of trees at a few point locations in the southern half of the country. The aim of this study was to develop a methodology, ba
Syfte med min uppsats är att undersöka huruvida det finns några indikationer på en möjlig maktförskjutning av staters ansvar för de mänskliga rättigheterna till att handla om företagen ansvar för dem, i Global Combact princip 1 och 2. För detta syfte har jag formulerat frågeställningen: Finns det i princip 1 och 2 i Global Compact indikatorer på att en maktförskjutning kan ske från stater till för
No-tillage (NT) practice is extensively adopted with aims to improve soil physical conditions, carbon (C) sequestration and to alleviate greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions without compromising crop yield. However, the influences of NT on GHGs emissions and crop yields remains inconsistent. A global meta-analysis was performed by using fifty peer-reviewed publications to assess the effectiveness of
B cells generate antibodies that are essential for immune protection, but their subgroups are poorly defined. Here, we perform undirected deep profiling of B cells in matched human lymphoid tissues from deceased transplant organ donors and blood. In addition to identifying unanticipated features of tissue-based B cell differentiation, we resolve two subsets of marginal zone B (MZB) cells differing
As products and supply chains (SCs) evolve, logisticians must revisit their under-standing of postponement. The postponement boundary problem acknowledges that value- adding operations' timing and location in global SCs are critical decisions, impacted by taxes and government regulations in different jurisdictions. However, when combining hardware and software
