How can we improve cooling sustainability for factory workers? Learning from the case of Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry
The ready-made garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a mainstay of the economy, a strong driver of economic growth and a major contributor to GDP and export earnings. The industry accounts for 82% of exports by value and 12-15% of GDP. In 2021-22 it generated USD42.6 billion to the economy and employed around 4 million people, of whom 60% are women. As such, it provides financial independence to young women of modest education – a rarity in low- and middle-income countries.

Disentangling the Effects of Cooperation on Local Pollution Efforts in the Mekong Delta
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing industries in Vietnam, both nationally and internationally. This specific industry in the VMD is not only currently dealing with climate change, which affects economic gains and pond productivity but also production itself has led to severe environmental impacts, including pollution and mangrove cover loss. Our research project aims to disentangle the mechanisms for local farmer cooperation to eliminate water pollution from aquaculture-prevalent communities.
Dystopia and crisis: How can we imagine a better world when the world is burning?
What could be done about the crisis of imagination that is afflicting much of the world?
We can easily imagine ecological disaster or technological futures but struggle to picture how welfare, health or democracy could be better a generation from now. Geoff Mulgan, author of Another World is Possible will share both diagnosis and prescription, looking in particular at the role of universities in helping societies to think ahead.

Beyond Imperfect Justice: Legality and Fair Labelling in International Criminal Law
In Beyond Imperfect Justice (Brill, 2022), Dr Talita Dias (Jesus College & ELAC, Oxford) explores how the principles of legality and fair labelling have developed in international criminal law, from Nuremberg to the International Criminal Court and beyond. It features a comprehensive survey of domestic and international case law, treaties, and other materials, carefully unpacking the different rationales and elements of each principle and the various rules to which they apply.
