Varför gör människor motstånd mot åtgärder som ska skydda dem mot klimatrisker? Denna fråga utforskas i en studie från Lunds universitet som kartlägger var, och i vilka sammanhang, olika grupper motsätter sig klimatanpassningar.  – Klimatanpassning ses alltmer som något nödvändigt och bra, där brist på pengar eller kapacitet är det enda hindret för framgångsrika lösningar. Människor som inte vill

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular
