Lundin Oil-rättegången är inne i sitt slutskede. Rättprocessen kan få betydelse för hur domstolar bedömer företags ansvar för krigsförbrytelser och hur bolag väger risker i konfliktområden. Det menar rättssociologer vid Lunds universitet som har följt rättegången sedan starten 2023. Två tidigare bolagschefer misstänks för att genom avtal med Sudans regering ha främjat militära operationer som lett

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

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

Underground fungi play a central role in the fragile ecosystems of atoll islands. The unique symbiotic relationship between these fungi and rainforest trees is vital for the restoration of nature and ultimately for the survival of coral reefs. New research shows how fungi help nutrients to move between the forest and the sea. Palmyra Atoll is a remote and uninhabited cluster of small islands halfw

A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks

Att bo ensam i eget boende sliter mer på jordens resurser än att bo med andra, eftersom alla ska ha egna utrustningar – brödrost, tvättmaskin och så vidare. De nordiska länderna sticker ut: nästan hälften är ensamhushåll. Hållbarhetsforskaren Tullia Jack har intervjuat ensamboende om orsakerna och hoppas på nya former av kollektivboenden. – Delat boende är en lågt hängande frukt för att sänka kold
