While “futuristic” factory-produced foods continue to capture headlines and investor enthusiasm, they may be diverting attention and funding away from more immediate, scalable solutions to transform our food systems. That is one of the warnings from Anne-Charlotte Bunge, whose new PhD-thesis examines what Food Tech is, who the key actors behind it are, and the potential sustainability performance of some of the products.

Rising seas due to climate change threaten China’s rapidly developing coasts. However, coastal policy decisions will shape who and what is exposed to those rising seas and how much the land sinks, a new research paper published in Nature reveals. “Climate change is global, but coastal risk plays out locally”, the international team of Chinese and European researchers emphasize.

A new study reveals that Sweden has a high potential to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 through changes in its food system. Key strategies include adjusting diets, phasing out fossil fuels across the food chain and reducing food waste. Together, they can help us stay within the planetary boundary for climate and improve people’s health.

Finance actively shapes the Earth. By steering flows of money, providing insurance, and controlling costs of credit the financial system promotes activities and builds infrastructure than can either erode or enhance nature. A new perspective on sustainable finance argues that as long as nature is ignored, finance will erode nature and increase systemic risks. However if ecological realities are used to steer the flows of money, finance can still become a powerful lever for supporting humanity’s ecological life-support systems.

In December 2022, 196 parties adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a landmark agreement under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity designed to tackle the global nature crisis through 23 ambitious targets. Since then, governments and communities worldwide have been seeking effective pathways to accelerate its implementation.

As the world faces the urgent task of substantially cutting greenhouse gas emissions, artificial intelligence (AI) offers both large opportunities and serious risks. To help ensure that AI supports a stable biosphere, researchers propose a new guiding principle – “Earth alignment” – aiming to steer AI development and uses in ways that promote rather than undermine sustainable development for all.
