Trade shocks can have various impacts on the economic activities of a country, yet it remains uncertain whether such shocks influence the environmental behaviors of firms. Albert Duodu shows, in a recent investigation, that trade shocks originating from countries with less stringent environmental regulations can spur significant demand for emission-intensive goods from Swedish firms, subsequently

En varmare värld påverkar hälsan, jobben, migrationen och välfärden. Vi kan inte längre prata om klimatet som en separat fråga, anser hållbarhetsprofessorn Emily Boyd. – Klimatförändringar har länge setts som något separat från samhället. Man talar ofta om negativa effekter på vår naturliga miljö snarare än om hur ett förändrat klimat kan komma att påverka vår vardag. Det gör att många människor,

Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see
