The European Union (EU) aims to increase the overall carbon sink through the 2030 climate and energy policy framework, which includes the newly reviewed instrument and regulation of Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The regulation is considered an important component in the EU climate mitigation strategy which aims to manage and track the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in sec
This study has been conducted to show the meaning of how background factors and attitudes affect the usage of chemical products in urban gardens in Lund. This was performed with the use of a questionnaire that was sent out to two Facebook groups, Lunds Trädgårdssällskap and another private group oriented towards people who live in or come from Lund. From an environmental perspective, this study is
The sport of disc golf has grown rapidly during the last five years, meaning a rapid increase in production of discs, and therefore also in the use of virgin plastics. The discs are usually produced with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or thermoplastic elastane (TPE). The disc golf market is dominated by a handfull of brands that all have one thing in common, their work on sustainability is eithe
The forest industry has big problems with the bark beetle attacking trees. This results in that they must log the damaged trees, which leads to an economic loss. For a tree to be able to stand against a big populations of bark beetles, it needs to have a strong defence or be surrounded by other trees via associational resistance. Furthermore, natural enemies to the bark beetle can also act as a de
Bioenergy derived from agricultural biomass has potential to phase out fossil energy sources while strengthening the bioeconomy. To estimate the agricultural sector's potential to meet the rising demand for renewable energy sources, it is crucial to understand what motivate farmers to sustainably increasing agricultural feedstock production. Through eight semi-structured interviews, and online
In this study an evaluation of the ways in which the shopping mall NOVA Lund can improve its current waste management practices was conducted. This was done because NOVA plans to upgrade their waste management system. A survey was conducted where the staff of the 68 stores and 7 restaurants were inquired on the current system. The stores were asked to rank what kind of waste they encounter the mos
The growing mountain of electronic waste is a threat to human health and an unsustainable handling of our finite natural resources. With the aim to decrease the creation of waste, including electronic, the EU have decided to separate resource use from economic growth by supporting the transition to a circular economy. The inclusion of the private sector in the financing of this transition is cruci
Clean drinking water is often taken for granted. However, the lake that supplies the greater part of southwestern Scania with drinking water has severe environmental problems regarding the chemical and ecological status. The organization Fokus Vombsjön has now taken it upon themselves to develop a water management plan for the lake, with the goal to improve its overall status. The aim of this s
Today the future supply of seafood is threatened due to human activities which, among other things, has led to overfishing. However, more environmental friendly initiatives of producing seafood have emerged, such as Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs). By analyzing the sensitivity analysis from six different Life Cycle Analysis (LCAs) on RASs, eight different factors that influence the enviro
This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base
Degrowth seeks to achieve a sustainable society in the future. It implies overcoming capitalist norms and structures. Economic organizations have found little attention in degrowth scholarship. The existing literature focuses on degrowth compatibility without the wider structural and societal consideration that degrowth implies. Further, it is riddled with incoherences, such as a supposed compatib
With the amendment to the German Climate Change Act in 2021, the Federal Government of Germany has set the target to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2045. Reaching this ambitious target requires multisectoral efforts, which in turn calls for interdisciplinary collaboration: the Net-Zero-2050 project of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative serves as an example of successful, interdisciplinary collabor
The study analyzed the performance of Doho Rice Irrigation Scheme (DRIS), the largest public irrigation scheme in Uganda, using (1) water supply indicators comprising relative water supply (RWS), relative irrigation supply (RIS), and water delivery capacity (WDC) related to water supply from the system in relation to scheme crop water demand for the 2018–2019 growing season; and(2) water balance r
Feedback loops are among the core notions in systems thinking – and the various fields of theory and practice that draw on it, including systemic design. We use these notions to develop methodological approaches, conceptualise processes, assess the adequacy of solutions, and anticipate how the design object may interact with its immediate surroundings and beyond. In my presentation, I discuss the
At a geological time-scale, seas rise aloft and mountains crumble. We are currently in the middle of a debate on whether—in order to acknowledge the pervasive and geologically significant traces of human action on the planet—our present era should be labelled the “Anthropocene”, and if so, what would be the cut-off date for the commencement of that era. At the same moment, we are already contempla
Ecosystem functioning depends on biodiversity at multiple trophic levels, yet relationships between multitrophic diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality have been poorly explored, with studies often focusing on individual trophic levels and functions and on specific ecosystem types. Here, we show that plant diversity can affect ecosystem functioning both directly and by affecting other trophic
Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste category, seen as a consequence of the industry’s rapid technological advancement. The waste in this industry is problematic due to the inherent heterogenic property of devices, the toxicity of the waste, as well as resource intensive production of the required materials. To decrease this waste and the resource demand in the production of electrical de
Emissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi
