Kommunalt miljöarbete: En studie om hållbar innovation i svenska kommuner

Sammanfattning: In this study, the environmental work of 6 municipalities is examined and analyzed. Through collected data and theories about sustainable innovation, a table with various recommendations is produced to hopefully help and support the municipalities with their environmental work and this is done to achieve the environmental goals of Agenda 2030. A qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interview was used to collect data for this study. Based on the collected data that was analyzed, the researchers could find what the municipalities need help with, what deficiencies each municipality has and factors that affect the execution and results of the environmental work. The researchers used an abductive method in the study, where they continuously compare the empirical chapter with the theory in order to come up with different recommendations. The results of this study show recommendations that the municipalities can use to improve environmental work and that can hopefully lead to achieving the environmental goals.
