Professor Emily Boyd will present immobility as a climate adaptation strategy at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. “The majority of people want to stay in place.

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.

Migrant farm workers are some of the most vulnerable people within the global agricultural system. Now climate change is increasingly affecting their health and wellbeing, as well as agricultural production, exacerbating poverty and inequality for people making their living on farm labour. Ongoing research at LUCSUS is studying how climate change, both extreme events such as droughts, floods and f

Women make up 70 per cent of Zimbabwe's agricultural labour but have little influence over farmlands and resources. Recent research shows that women farmers are uniting to challenge traditional norms and are gaining influence and respect while promoting sustainable agriculture. When men leave Zimbabwe's rural areas for work in cities and abroad, women farmers establish agricultural leadership comm

A novel research report maps how workers are experiencing efforts to decarbonise the steel industry in Sweden. It identifies how people’s expectation of change is marked by previous transitions, that blue- and white-collar workers view transitions differently, and how work is a source of great pride to people. "Our aim was to explore the societal impacts of change in different places. Through inte

A new study on agricultural development in Uganda suggests that it is possible to influence policy without alienating the country's notoriously volatile authorities. The findings challenge assumptions about mobilisation under repression and offer lessons for groups seeking social change in politically restrictive environments. Sustainability researcher Ronald Byaruhanga examined how farmers and ci

A new PhD thesis by Bernard Ekumah examines why agricultural development in Ghana continues to generate uneven and contradictory outcomes, especially for smallholder farmers. It argues that these outcomes are not primarily the result of isolated failures of policy design or implementation. Rather, they arise from structural contradictions embedded in the internal logic of Ghana’s neo-liberal agrar

Bakom en till synes anonym fasad i centrala Malmö, precis intill Mazetti-huset, pågår ett intensivt sceniskt liv. Här, i det som en gång var bryggerilokaler, ligger Bryggeriteatern – Teaterhögskolans egen scen. Under marken rör sig skådespelare, regissörer, tekniker, dramatiker, producenter och kostymörer mellan repetitionssalar, scen och verkstäder – osynliga för förbipasserande. Men under våren
