Hur mäter vi ett lands utsläpp av koldioxid mest rättvisande? Genom hur mycket utsläpp produktionen ger upphov till inom landets gränser? Eller ska vi ta hänsyn även till utrikeshandeln på olika sätt? Ekonomihistorikern Astrid Kander från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet förespråkar att de nuvarande måtten kompletteras med egenutvecklade ”teknikjusterade klimatfotavtrycket” som även mäter ex

Under sommaren har Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet fått två prestigefyllda ackrediteringsbesked. Fakulteten är nu ackrediterad i fem år av både EQUIS och AMBA, och tillhör de 1 procent av ekonomihögskolor globalt som har båda ackrediteringarna. John Abrahamson, ordförande för Ekonomihögskolans fakultetsstyrelse, och Lars Ljungälv, ordförande för fakultetens rådgivande kommitté, är samstämmi

Living in a community with access to clean water and functioning sanitation is a basic requirement for people’s good health. In Kazakhstan in Central Asia, people cannot depend on a reliable water supply and many are at risk of contracting serious infectious diseases. However, the country now wants to focus on improving public health and has turned to Lund University for help. Approximately 2.1 bi

The energy sector is one of the sectors that need to undergo both rapid and far-reaching transformation to limit the effects of climate change. What is the significance of basic research, which investigates new theories and new approaches, in driving development? Solar energy has great potential to become one of our most important energy sources. The energy in the sun’s rays corresponds to more th

Living forests with diverse plants and animals, forests where you can hike, hunt or pick berries and mushrooms – will they still be there when the pressure on forestry production increases? Is it possible to increase production in a sustainable way, without reducing the possibility of achieving environmental and sustainability goals? Great hopes are being placed in the forest to provide the raw ma

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A team of former Lund University students have developed a smart plant wall, that can be monitored via an app and therefore minimizes the amount of maintenance needed. The smart wall measures things like indoor temperature, humidity and water levels to make sure the plants are thriving - and therefore improving the in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Currently, it can take weeks and even months to produce results on how the future climate could affect agriculture. Now, researchers at Lund University are looking to change this and have produced simplified models, so-called emulators, to make it simpler – and above all, faster – to link vegetation, finance and clima

Indian women are younger and leaner than Swedish women when they develop gestational diabetes, a new study from Lund University shows. The researchers also found a gene that increases the risk of gestational diabetes in Swedish women, but which, on the contrary, turned out to have a protective effect in Indian women.
