While we are inundated with data on rising temperatures, carbon dioxide levels and melting glaciers, there are other areas that are also affected by a warming planet. Political scientist Christie Nicoson explores the relationship between gender, climate change and peace and finds that they are closely linked. She is now receiving the Agenda 2030 Award for 2024.

Samtidigt som vi förses med generösa mängder data över stigande temperaturer, koldioxidhalter och smältande glaciärer finns det andra områden som, lite mer i skymundan, också påverkas av en varmare planet. Doktoranden Christie Nicoson undersöker förhållandet mellan klimatförändringar, genus och fred. Hon konstaterar att de är nära sammankopplade och nu tilldelas hon priset Agenda 2030 Award för si

In recent years, society has seen a growing need to broaden the conversation around sustainability beyond its traditional pillars of social, environmental, and economic concerns. There's a call to include the existential dimensions of human life. In autumn 2023, the Agenda 2030 Graduate School offered a doctoral course on Existential Sustainability. The course concluded with a student conference f
This paper is an attempt to link the concept of Existential Sustainability to research within the field of electrical power systems modelling. This is specifically done in the context of electrification and the energy transition. In extension, this implies a connection between the fields of humanities and technology. Author: Alice JanssonThis paper is an attempt to link the concept of Existential
This is an explorative and, at times, tentative text on the potential meanings and uses of the concept Existential Sustainability in social work and social work research. The overall argument is that to create a positive change in the lives of people in general, service users more specifically, and to sustain such change over time, it is necessary to acknowledge an existential dimension and existe
As extreme weather, droughts and water scarcity become more common, we need more ways to ensure access to clean water. New research by PhD student Maria Takman shows how wastewater in Kivik has been treated to near drinking water quality. “I was surprised that we achieved such high quality with a relatively simple and short treatment process. This type of wastewater reuse could become an important
Adolescence is a phase of life when existential loneliness— an experience related to suffering— may occur for the first time. During adolescence thoughts about meaning and identity are central for the young person. In this short paper, I reason about how the understanding of existential loneliness during adolescence (which is the topic of my PhD-project) can be related to central concepts in the u
I takt med att extremväder, torka och vattenbrist blir allt vanligare behöver vi fler sätt att säkra tillgången till rent vatten. Ny forskning av disputerande Maria Takman visar hur avloppsvatten i Kivik renades till nära dricksvattenkvalitet. - Jag blev förvånad över att vi nådde så hög kvalitet med en relativt enkel och kort reningsprocess. Det här sättet att återanvända avloppsvatten kan bli en

This essay explores how capitalism and techno-optimism hinder effective climate action. Drawing on James Gustave Speth's insights, it argues for the need for existential sustainability that fosters compassion, generosity, and care. It suggests seeking alternatives beyond economic growth and technological solutions to create a truly sustainable future. Author: Gubb Marit Stigson“I used to think the

Young migrants are especially vulnerable to sexual violence. A new doctoral thesis shows that migrants are vulnerable even after they arrive in Sweden. "We may think they are safe here, but there are structural problems. Lack of access to health and social services increases the vulnerability of young migrants," says Tanya Andersson Nystedt, a doctoral student at Lund University. Tanya Andersson
