Our 'Nature of Peace' project financed by the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development (FORMAS) and based at Lund University has come to an end. Happy to share one of the outputs of the project: an article we wrote together with Micael Runnström published at the Journal of Environment & Development based on a vegetation study in Northern Uganda during and after the armed conflict and the prospects for peace and development in current times of environmental conflicts in the region. The outcomes of the study indicate that vegetation and environmental changes in Northern Uganda may have both positive and negative implications for sustainable peace and development. We observe an ongoing ‘greening’ process in the region, which is likely driven by agricultural expansion. While agriculture is crucial for enhancing food security and promoting economic growth, the way in which it is structured (e.g., equitable distribution of land and financial support”), and integrated with natural vegetation will be critical for its long-term sustainability. If agricultural expansion is dominated by large-scale monoculture of industrial crops, rather than supporting small-scale, family-oriented farming, and if it encroaches on forests and woodlands, it may lead to biodiversity loss and the degradation of ecosystem services. These services are vital not only for local populations but also for broader efforts in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Therefore, the balance between agricultural growth, environmental protection, and equal geographical and socio-economic distribution of ‘development’ will be key to ensuring that economic development contributes to lasting peace and sustainable livelihoods in the region. This insight should inform policies aimed at promoting both ecological and socio-economic development.

📖💡 Dive into the insights of the “Practical Guide on Alternative Development and the Environment” presented by UNODC.   In several countries there is a growing share of illicit drug crop cultivation and other segments of drug economies shifting to protected areas like forest reserves and national parks. However, agricultural activities are not allowed in these areas. Therefore, new strains of income need to be identified and developed for those regions. The Practical Guide gives for the first time an overview how Alternative Development can look like in these special management areas.   This guide sheds light on the convergence of drug control efforts and environmental preservation, covering:   1.    Sustainable practices and approaches. 2.    Conservation of forests and biodiversity. 3.    Carbon credit initiatives. 4.    Payments for ecosystem services.   It's a valuable resource for understanding how we can align our efforts for a more sustainable future.

🌍 The Sustainable Development Report 2024! 🌍 The latest Sustainable Development Report (SDR) provides an in-depth review of the progress made towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. Key Highlights: 1. Global SDG Progress: Only 16% of SDG targets are on track to be met by 2030, with significant challenges remaining in areas like hunger, sustainable cities, and life below water and on land. 2. Country Performance: Nordic countries lead the SDG rankings, with Finland at the top, followed by Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and France. However, the BRICS countries are making notable progress. 3. Financial Reforms: Emphasizing the need for a reformed global financial architecture to support sustainable development, especially in low-income countries. 4. Multilateralism: The report introduces the Index of Support to UN-Based Multilateralism, highlighting countries' commitment to global cooperation. 5. Food and Land Systems: Urgent action is needed to address hunger and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The report outlines pathways to achieve sustainable food and land systems. This year’s report also focuses on the UN Summit of the Future, providing recommendations from global scientists and practitioners on transforming global governance, financing sustainable development, and harnessing technological advancements.

I have started working as the ambassador of the partnership for the goals( 17th goal)section of the G17 summit of the university. An inaugural video has been broadcast in this way. These goals typically align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which were adopted in 2015 as a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Some common sustainable goals include transitioning to renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, improving access to clean water and sanitation, and building sustainable cities and communities. Achieving these goals requires collaborative efforts from governments, businesses, civil society, and individual citizens to make economically viable, environmentally sound, and socially equitable choices. Sustainable goals aim to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Let's try our utmost best to create a sustainable society.
