workshopLand-use changes, political conflict, wildlife conflicts, population growth and climate change are some of the issues pastoralists in Kenya are faced with. CERE researcher Göran Bostedt returns to Kenya for a workshop on land tenure reform and focus group meetings with pastoralists.

In November 2018 CERE researcher Göran Bostedt revisited Kenya together with researchers from SLU, University of Gothenburg, and University of Nairobi, for a workshop in Nairobi on land tenure reform and the effects of climate change. The workshop was organized by a-research project financed by the Swedish Research Council jointly with FAO, the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization.

focus
During the stay in Kenya a questionnaire about land ownership and the capacity for climate change was tested through several focus group meetings with pastoralists in semi-arid parts of the country. (click on headline to read more)

In many places, notably in rural areas in countries in economic transition, wood is the only affordable source of energy for heating and cooking. Despite its importance, wood energy is often under-used or misused, resulting in air pollution and the degradation of forest resources. Click on headline to read more

‘Wood Energy in the ECE region’ is a new publication released by the United Nations’ Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE). The publication was presented by the editor and also new CERE Professor Francisco Aguilar at a panel hosted by the UN-ECE. The topic of discussion was how forests contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and Francisco discussed the role that forests play in meeting SD goal 7 ‘Affordable and Clean Energy’. Wood energy is the most important source of renewable energy in the UN-ECE region. In many places, notably in rural areas in countries in economic transition, wood is the only affordable source of energy for heating and cooking. Despite its importance, wood energy is often under-used or misused, resulting in air pollution and the degradation of forest resources.

The report on Svenskt NäringslivCERE’s Runar Brännlund comments on the report “Greenwash - An analysis of the efficiency of Swedish environmental taxes”. Since the report was released in Swedish it has frequently been used in debate articles around Sweden and it is now available in English. Main conclusions from the report show that developed forceful and effective tools for reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases are already in place. Runar therefore finds it somewhat of a mystery why relatively complicated and obvious ineffective additional instruments are put into place, read his comment. (Click on the headline to read more)

Skogsindustrin och forskare ska tillsammans i forskningsprogrammet Mistra Digital Forest digitalisera skogsbruket. Genom smart digitalisering planerar programmet att forska hur skogen kan nyttjas mer effektivt med ökad skonsamhet. Skogsindustrierna kommer att stå värd för programmet som under de fyra inledande åren erhåller 58 miljoner kronor. (Klicka på rubriken för att läsa mer)

18 forskare uppmanar i DN debatt den 29 oktober att universiteten ska halvera sina egna utsläpp av växthusgaser på fem år. CERE forskarna Runar Brännlund, Bengt Kriström, Magnus Lindmark och Tommy Lundgren finner detta anmärkningsvärt. De 18 talar om betydelsen av att ta universitetens forskning på allvar, men deras förslag saknar helt vetenskaplig förankring kring hur en klimatpolitik som inte är slösaktig bör utformas.

”Då handelssystemet bestämmer totala utsläppsnivån i EU betyder det att anställda på universiteten kan flyga eller ta sparken, det ändrar inte mängden klimatgaser i atmosfären.”

CERE forskarna uppmanar istället att arbeta för att politiker och länder till exempel minskar antalet utsläppsrätter i EU.
