Nearly four in ten female upper secondary school students suffer from iron deficiency. Among vegetarians and vegans, seven in ten have low iron levels, according to a new study led by Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff. The research has received considerable attention in the press, radio and television. "We were surprised by the results," says Anna Stubbendorff. The past two weeks have been

She grew up in oil-rich Norway, with a father who travelled the world working in the oil sector. Little did Lina Lefstad know that just two decades later she would be a researcher at the forefront of efforts to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and tackle the climate crisis. What if we could easily capture carbon dioxide from combined heat and power plants and industrial sites, cool it to liqu

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

Wildfires and deforestation are spreading in the wake of an expanding cattle industry in the Amazon rainforest. Now, Jesica López is being recognised for her research, which has brought together politicians, landowners, farmers and Indigenous communities in an effort to halt this development. "We must understand that the Amazon is an ecosystem every human being on the planet depends on," she says.

Johan Rockström, Gunhild Stordalen and Christer Fuglesang are among the headline speakers – and so is Anna Stubbendorff, an Agenda 2030 PhD student specialising in sustainable diets. Ahead of the Key Symposium, “Planetary Health – connect the dots. What saves the planet saves our health”, we asked her three quick questions about her research, her message, and what she hopes the event will achieve.

For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

Production for the textile and fashion industry can, for many countries, represent a first step out of poverty. But what does this mean for those who work in the sector, and what happens when even poorer countries begin to compete by paying even lower wages for the seamstresses in the factories? Linn Ternsjö has studied the clothing manufacturing industry in Mauritius from a sustainability perspec

How can life-saving HIV treatments remain reliable when global aid is uncertain? What happens when animals are reduced to “carbon emissions” in sustainability debates? And how can urban forests be made safe at night without flooding them with artificial light, disturbing local wildlife?

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study by Anna Stubbendorff at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline deve

Climate change is damaging public health and is also leading to premature deaths. At the same time, the healthcare sector itself is responsible for significant emissions. Studies of intensive care and surgical care in Sweden show that over 60 per cent of the climate impact in intensive care is driven by the growing volume of single-use products, according to research by Linn Hemberg at Lund Univer

In the 1960s, Europe’s largest steel plant was built in Taranto, Italy. While transforming the local economy, it generated pollution that has been linked to illness and premature death among residents. In his doctoral thesis, Carlo Nicoli Aldini shows how law has both contributed to the crisis and been used as an instrument to seek justice by the local population. Carlo Nicoli Aldini recently comp
