Calls for urgent action to conserve biodiversity under global change are increasing, and conservation of migratory species in this context poses special challenges. In the last two decades the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) has provided a framework for several subsidiary instruments including action plans for migratory bird species, but the effectiveness

Ocean evaporation, represented by latent heat flux (LE), plays a crucial role in global precipitation patterns, water cycle dynamics, and energy exchange processes. However, existing bulk methods for quantifying ocean evaporation are associated with considerable uncertainties. The maximum entropy production (MEP) theory provides a novel framework for estimating surface heat fluxes, but its applica

Background: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researc
Title: The Carbon Impact of Component Production in China: Investigating the Impact of Carbon Border Adjustment Policies for a Global Manufacturing Company Authors: Fabian Bergman & Spiros Pavlidis Supervisor: Eva Berg, Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University Examiner: Louise Bildsten, Associate Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Enginee
A growing world population confronts humanity and the planet with several challenges due to its increased demand for food, space and energy, implying changes in land use. While agriculture currently provides enough food, it is destroying biodiversity and hence aggravates the planet ́s vulnerability to climate change. A paradigm shift might therefore be needed. Applying a political ecology lens, co
The literature on sustainability transitions increasingly recognizes that sectoral structures transcending national boundaries can both hinder and promote sustainability transitions. Yet there is only limited evidence on the roles of global actors in transforming entrenched socio-technical structures directly at the global scale. To explore the mechanisms of agency at the global scale, we develop
The thesis examines the feasibility of establishing a World Environmental Organization (WEO) in accordance with cosmopolitan principles. In the context of growing global environmental challenges, particularly climate change, the inadequacies of existing governance frameworks – i.a. marked by fragmentation, inefficiency, and limited compliance – highlight the need for institutional reform. The stud
In 2000, the Clinton Administration in the U.S. adopted the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which deregulated the U.S. trade with financial instruments on commodity markets. With respect to this adoption, it has been regarded as one catalyst for the Global food crisis 2008, where millions of individuals lacked provision and access to agricultural products and nutrition. From the perspective o
Industry is increasingly committed to reduce its ecological footprint. One specific area of increased industrial interest is the use of plastic-free packaging. Plastic packaging is efficient from a supply chain perspective, but as waste risks causing disastrous environmental effects. This case study assesses the environmental impacts (from cradle to grave) of plastic cushioning inserts vs. corruga
This paper looks into the responses of cocoa farming households to a negative shock in the global cocoa price with regards to how they invest into the future of their children. The specific child outcomes of focus are child employment rates, school attendance, and household expenditure on schooling and related activities. A differences-in-differences approach is used in line with previous literatu
Despite the hegemonic status of global health governance that favors the high-income countries (HICs), global health diplomacy (GHD) as a critical tool to manage health is an understudied subject particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This research illustrates how GHD is exercised in Indonesia by exploring the actors, their capacities, and the surrounding context. The aim of the
Four technical indicators are tested on 14 return-series, covering the years 2000 – 2016 and representing 3 different asset types: equity, commodity and currency, with a further division of equity into developed and developing markets. The indicators assessed are Moving Averages with fixed and variable holding periods, MACD, and RSI. The purpose is to determine if there are any differences in the
