The work is based on a combination of approaches: review of municipality reports and meta-studies on relevant municipal initiatives and interviews on specific measures with officials that have been involved in textile and fashion related actions. Literature was also reviewed on policy measures and influences that can have initiated the activities on sustainable fashion consumption at municipal levels. (Less)
