I somras publicerades en uppmärksammad forskningsstudie om hur trädplantering kan bidra till att rädda klimatet. Men många forskare har kritiserat trädplantering som en problematisk metod, som istället riskerar att ta fokus från att vi drastiskt måste minska utsläppen om vi ska klara klimatet. Hållbarhetsforskaren Wim Carton förklarar vad det finns för nackdelar med storskaliga trädplanteringar. Ä

På samma sätt som viruset hittade och förvärrade oupptäckta svagheter i mänskliga kroppar så har pandemin hittat och avslöjat svagheter i länders politik och samhällsstrukturer. Det är en av slutsatserna när 59 forskare från 38 universitet gått samman för att jämföra hur coronakrisen hanteras i 16 länder. I studien delas länderna in i tre kategorier – kaosländer, kontrolländer och konsensus-länder

Som svenskt lärosäte behöver Lunds universitet se till så att studenter med funktionsnedsättning kommer i jämförbar situation med andra studenter. Du som är kursansvarig eller examinator kan behöva göra justeringar för att undervisningen och examinationen ska vara tillgänglig för studenter som har en funktionsnedsättning.

Semiconductors – the “brains” behind electronic products and systems. Whether mobile phones, automotive, energy, home appliances, or artificial intelligence, these components (“chips”) play a key role. At the same time, Asian countries account for more than half of the world’s semiconductor chip production. Swedish semiconductor capability is now to be strengthened by Lund University together with

Naturbaserade lösningar ger stora möjligheter att ta itu med miljö- och samhällsutmaningar. De kan bidra till att mildra klimatförändringar och skydda biologisk mångfald. Men för att införa fler sådana lösningar i Norden krävs bättre styrning och finansiering, kompletterat med tydliga politiska prioriteringar. Det visar en ny forskningsrapport från Nordiska ministerrådet, där forskare från Lunds u

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in

In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group

Life can feel a little overwhelming in the times we live where society is less homogenous, and individualism prevails although many of our challenges require cooperation between different interests, ideologies, and countries. Human beings need to feel meaning, hope and motivation to overcome difficulties and to find new solutions. Therefore, we need to understand more about existential sustainabil

Everyone knows about source criticism, but researchers Jutta Haider and Olof Sundin want to emphasise source confidence. “There has been an intensive focus on the critical aspect. Pupils leave school with the attitude that you cannot trust anything, so source confidence is an important complement to source criticism. There must be confidence in our social institutions”, says Jutta Haider. Olof Sun

Around the world, coastal communities are exposed to the impacts of climate change, for example sea level rise and coastal erosion. But local governments are often politically and economically constrained in their abilities to implement timely and needed adaptation measures. These constraints can restrict adaptation options to practices that are too little and too late, or even result in measures

In the early 1990s, peacemakers, politicians and researchers believed that growing water shortages would lead to an increasing number of wars and conflicts around the world. It was thought that the disputes in the Middle East would become more difficult to resolve as water resources diminished. However, views have since changed on the role of water in conflicts. Instead of being a cause of war, it
