Climate Responsive Procurement – A Pilot Study Of Local Authorities And Businesses In Scotland And England
With Fred Mear & Louis Ellam & Miles Weaver
Goal 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. SDG 13 is critical as it underpins many of the other SDGs. Much of the related work so far has focused on the need for climate responsiveness and the reporting of corporate social responsibility (CSR). There is a notable gap in the literature on how governments and businesses embed their climate responsive policies into their financial management systems. In particular, this research examines UK procurement processes.
