Four solutions to the climate crisis: restoring wetlands
9 April 2024 08:30 to 09:30 | Lecture
High greenhouse gas emissions have been a recognised problem for over a hundred years. At the same time, the phase-out of fossil fuels is slow. Different ways to reach the net-zero emissions targets are highlighted in the current debate, and discussions about ultimate solutions are loud. During Sustainability Week, we highlight four options and discuss the opportunities and risks from the perspective of science. Today's breakfast seminar explains and discusses wetland restoration. Is it a partial solution for the climate where the potential is not realised? The event is held in Swedish.

Environmental detectives in hiding - how inspectors expose environmental crime

Did you know that environmental crime is the third largest illegal activity in the world? Even in Sweden, the activity is increasing and the country's inspectors in the environment, health protection and food sector play an important role in detecting the cases.
This seminar will give you an insight into the daily life of food and environmental health inspectors and how they work together with other authorities to stop crime and protect people and the environment. The event is held in Swedish.

LU Land at Sustainability Week: Exploitation of agricultural land - are we taking sufficient consideration of the different values of land?
10 April 2024 08:15 to 10:15 | Seminar
Agricultural land has many socio-economic values that are difficult to estimate. It contributes to a living countryside, can contribute to the storage of carbon in the soil, it is important for our current and future food supply and can be exploited to build, for example, housing, commercial activities and solar parks. When deciding how to use the land, these values need to be weighed against each other. But how are trade-offs between the different values of land managed today? Are there the right tools to reduce the risk of overexploitation or are new methods and solutions required? The event is held in Swedish.

Biodiversity and business - what happens when companies value nature?
10 April 2024 17:00 to 19:00 | Other
Nature is not only an asset but also a risk factor for the economy. In recent years, interest in biodiversity has increased from companies and banks, while expectations for accountability and reporting have escalated. What happens when companies try to manage nature's values? How can companies become agents of change that reduce negative impacts on biodiversity and promote positive development?
During Sustainability Week in Lund, HållBAR is being organised with the theme of biodiversity and business. The event will be held in Swedish.
