Welcome to this symposium on Wednesday March 8th, where we look at poverty development in Sweden during the last 100 years & trends in men & women's incomes in Africa. Life expectancy in the Western world, like in Sweden, has expanded linearly by about 25 years during the 20th century, a bit more fo

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ

Den här veckan uppmärksammar svensk handel ”Black Week” med ”Black Friday” i spetsen, dagar då reapriser ska dra kunder till butikerna. Men hur går det här ihop med många företags hållbarhetsprofil? Det undrar Jon Bertilsson, marknadsföringsforskare på Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet. –”Black Friday” framstår för mig som ett symtom på en sjuk konsumtionskultur, både hos företag med fina hål

I kölvattnet av klimatförändringar och ett allt varmare och torrare klimat blir skogsbränder allt vanligare. I Ukraina ökar kriget risken ytterligare. Redan i mars i år bröt bränder ut runt Tjernobyl. Forskaren Lina Eklund befarar att en torr sommar kan leda till ytterligare bränder med katastrofala humanitära och miljömässiga konsekvenser.

Bees are usually considered to be the most efficient pollinators for crops, but a new international study shows that other insects are just as important. A variety of different insects are needed for our food supply. Several BECC researchers have provided data to the study. "We already know that honeybees and wild bees are of great importance to our food production. This study shows that other pol

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

A billion hectares – or an area a bit larger than the US – that is how much land that would be required globally to meet countries’ net-zero climate targets. For the first time researchers can show the rate and extent of projected land use changes, geographically and over time. The findings demonstrate a gap between governments’ expected reliance on land and the role that land can realistically pl

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

This article explores conservative Christian transnational advocacy, which defends what its leaders and supporters understand as the “natural family” against the perceived dangers of “gender ideology,” with a view to save Western civilization from imminent demise. We focus on the World Congress of Families (WCF) and investigate how it is organized transnationally. We draw on international relation
