Sustainability Research Institute

Sustainability Research Institute: Working papers

The SRI Working Papers are an opportunity for SRI members to publish ongoing research at an early stage. The series contains a diverse range of material, from literature reviews, case studies and policy debates to analytical and theoretical pieces. All of the topics covered relate to work under the Institute's research groups: business and organisations for sustainable societies, economics and policy for sustainability, environmental change and sustainable development, and social and political dimensions of sustainability. Papers which are developed further and published elsewhere may be withdrawn.
