EU har en övertro på hur snabbt gasberoendet kan minskas. Importstopp av metaller kan leda till att Kina tar viktiga marknadsandelar från väst. Den dyrare maten drabbar inte Sverige särskilt hårt. Och sänkt bensinskatt slår mot fattiga länder. André Månberger, som forskar om energisäkerhet, reder ut hur kriget i Ukraina påverkar tillgången och priserna på energi, metaller och andra råvaror.

I decennier har den svenska skogen brukats intensivt genom kalhyggen och trädplanteringar för att få ut så mycket virke som möjligt. Kultur och starka traditioner gör att skogsbrukare upplever att det är svårt att få kunskap om, och stöd, för andra skogsförvaltningsmetoder. Det menar forskare vid Lunds universitet som studerat hinder för ett hyggesfritt skogsbruk. –  Sverige har mest skog i hela E

Perhaps this is why the autumn’s budget bill now feels a little thin on ideas and forward-thinking in those parts relating to our sector. In addition, the Government has
