She has survived a brain tumour and hates empty phrases such as “seize the day” and “live in the present”. Despite this, after the tumour operation Ulrika Sandén both researched and wrote a book on what she calls “Contentment in the moment”, an approach to life that she assimilated during her years in Vesterålen in northern Norway. “The present can be terrible. It’s more a matter of affecting the

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla

Established ways of measuring carbon emissions can sometimes give misleading feedback on how national policies affect global emissions. In some cases, countries are even rewarded for policies that increase global emissions, and punished for policies that contribute to reducing them. “We have developed a new method that provides policy makers with more useful information, in order to set national t

The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid. A climate model developed by researchers from Lu

Out of 283 districts in Europe, only two collective regions perform well in both social and environmental sustainability. This is concerning as it suggests that the EU farm subsidy scheme, the Common Agricultural Policy, is failing to deliver on its aim to protect rural livelihoods, landscapes and the environment. – Currently, public money in the EU is paying for bad performance.
