That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study by Anna Stubbendorff at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline deve
Recently, the Agenda 2030 Graduate School gathered for a kickoff retreat that marked the start of this year’s joint work. Set in a calm environment conducive to reflection and in‑depth conversation, the retreat combined focused discussions with opportunities to exchange perspectives on sustainability research and engagement in an increasingly complex global context.

Climate change is damaging public health and is also leading to premature deaths. At the same time, the healthcare sector itself is responsible for significant emissions. Studies of intensive care and surgical care in Sweden show that over 60 per cent of the climate impact in intensive care is driven by the growing volume of single-use products, according to research by Linn Hemberg at Lund Univer
In the 1960s, Europe’s largest steel plant was built in Taranto, Italy. While transforming the local economy, it generated pollution that has been linked to illness and premature death among residents. In his doctoral thesis, Carlo Nicoli Aldini shows how law has both contributed to the crisis and been used as an instrument to seek justice by the local population. Carlo Nicoli Aldini recently comp

Most patients with mycosis fungoides, a rare form of lymphoma, live for years with a relatively mild disease. But in some cases it develops into a more serious condition. Angelica Johansson has identified biological changes that may help explain why the disease progresses in about a quarter of patients. Her work also shows that patients report unexpectedly high quality despite living with a chroni
In his doctoral thesis, Juan Antonio Samper explores how conflict, extractivism and resistance shape the Colombian Andinoamazonia.
