📜 New blog: What if the university would empower indigenous communities? Indigenous communities are critical for climate adaptation and ecosystem protection. While the value of indigenous knowledge and culture is increasingly recognized, indigenous territories are under serious threat of climate change, deforestation and armed conflicts. How could the university move from recognizing, to revitalizing indigenous knowledge and culture? Torsten Krause, senior lecturer at Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, shows us the way. This is the first blog of The Climate University Express, a blog series in which postdoctoral researcher Lisette van Beek writes about inspiring examples of transformative research and education that she encounters on her train journey visiting European universities. The ecological crisis, growing climate anxiety and continued social injustices requires the university to rethink its role. Each month, Lisette explores a 'what if' question, an inspiring story of how the university could be otherwise. #changingclimate #university #indigenous #adaptation #ecosystem #ClimateUniversityExpress #sustainability https://lnkd.in/eb-D_zft

🌟 Proud announcement! Pathways to Sustainability Signature Project grant awarded to project 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 💐 👩 Cut flowers are one of the top export products of Colombia. It is also an industry that struggles with sustainability and health issues for the low-skilled, mainly female, labour workers. This depicts the complex interaction between gender, labour, social and environmental issues. The research team in this Signature Project aims to unfold the intricacies of global value chains, hopes to raise awareness from consumers to producers, and wishes to revise the international sustainability labels used in this business. The challenges will be depicted in a theatre play that endeavours to catalyse dialogue, empower stakeholders, and envision a more sustainable agribusiness landscape.

🌟 Proud announcement! Pathways to Sustainability Signature Project grant awarded to project 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 💰 🐝 Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate worldwide and the imperative for action has never been more pressing. The financial sector can potentially combat this decline and drive sustainable transitions within important industries, such as food, energy and infrastructure. The research team behind ‘Financing biodiversity’ is taking on the challenge to help Dutch institutional investors upscale their nature-positive investments, paving the way for a more sustainable future. In the Dutch financial sector, pension funds are uniquely positioned to address biodiversity concerns, because of their substantial assets under management and long-term focus. Through active engagement with selected pension funds the team will work towards transformative solutions that can be further used within the financial sector. Interested in (joining) the project?

Gefeliciteerd Petra de Jongh met je ERC Advanced Grant! 🎉 Petra de Jongh gaat fundamenteel onderzoek doen naar de werking van katalysatoren. Dit kan leiden tot het versnellen van de energietransitie, bijvoorbeeld door de ontwikkeling van katalysatoren voor de efficiënte omzetting van CO2 en waterstof in duurzame brandstoffen. "We willen erachter komen hoe de eigenschappen van het metaaloppervlak van de katalysator veranderen als je er een scheikundig element, de promotor, aan toevoegt." https://lnkd.in/g8QaPdDg
