Hållbarhetsforskaren Maryam Nastar kommenterar värmeböljan i Kanada och Nordamerika utifrån sin forskning om extremväder. Hon är verksam vid Lunds universit

I den colombianska regnskogen breder boskapsskötseln ut sig och leder till skogsbränder och avskogning. Det hotar både miljö, klimat och urbefolkning i Amazonas. Effektivare användning av befintlig betesmark och alternativa försörjningsmöjligheter är några faktorer som krävs för att regnskogen ska skyddas, visar en ny avhandling av Jesica López.

When municipalities and sharing organisations argue how the concept should develop, they often use sustainability claims to back up their standpoints. In her thesis, Lucie Enochsson explains how sharing organisations and municipalities argue about the benefits and threats of the sharing economy. T

Klimatförändringarna är en realitet för samhällen över hela världen, vilket tvingar regeringar och internationella organisationer att föreslå klimatanpassningsåtgärder.
