This makes them crucial actors in facing sustainability challenges. A framework that allows for a holistic approach to sustainability is the triple bottom line, which advocates for joint consideration of social,economic, and environmental development. In p

The constantly increasing awareness of protecting the environment has put electrical roads in the spotlight as an alternative solution to fossil driven means of transport. Dan Zethraeus has developed an innovative idea for a prototype electrical road which conductively supplies power to the cars whilst driving. The concept is to place a line of short rail segments in the middle of the drive lanes

Due to changes in land use, as well as impacts from the climate change, our inland waters are now exposed to problems such as eutrophication and brownification. This complicates management to develop clean drinking water, as well as it leads to anoxic bottoms and reduces primary production. This literature review aims to see if wetlands can work as a natural filter to reduce both nutrients (nitrog
