The Jackets paper is a collaborative piece written by eight colleagues at NIH. The paper documents our process towards understanding what can characterize the sustainable production and consumption of outdoor clothing. Based on this, we offer a set of guidelines and assessments that one can make when one considers buying a new hiking jacket.
The Jackets paper is published open access in the Canadian Journal of Environmental Education. To listen to an introduction to the paper, please watch the video below.
Following the paper, a chronicle has been published in Utemagasinet (in Norwegian).
These publications are a part of our ongoing work to embed sustainability into our teaching and research at NIH.
