Before your seafood ends up on your table, a lot of it has travelled on a reefer - or fish taxi, as our researcher Frida Bengtsson calls them. Reefers are refrigerated cargo vessels that function as mobile ports for fishing vessels. They play a significant role in the seafood industry. Nearly a third of global tuna catch is transhipped annually. But reefers are also frequently described as weak links in the traceability of seafood. Now, new research by Frida Bengtsson and colleagues has identified the owners of all globally used reefers, the flags they use, and the fishing vessels they meet: "It's a major step for more transparency!"

Om oss
Stockholm Resilience Centre explores how people and nature can live and develop on a planet under pressure. The Centre is a collaboration between Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy Sciences. We bring people together from around the world to research, study and collaborate, for a thriving and resilient biosphere that enables well-being for all.

How to design processes that enable new forms of collaboration? Wicked problems are best solved when different worldviews, ways of knowing and value systems are included. In a recent article, Centre researchers describe and evaluate the knowledge co-production process of a research project that addresses water governance issues on the Swedish island Öland. Their process could present cornerstones for addressing sustainability challenges in an inclusive and equitable way. Read more: https://buff.ly/4gZcrbg

The deep sea is a potential gold mine – so long as we don’t mine it. Check out this insightful article by Erik Zhivkoplias and Robert Blasiak in The Conversation! They run you through recent key developments when it comes to bioprospecting in the deep sea and the dangers of mining it. Read it here: https://buff.ly/4eAVGRT

Subsidies can be powerful motivators that further environmental and sustainability goals. But they should be approached with caution, even when they seem to be environmentally friendly. This is stated in an article written by a group of scientists and economists in this week’s Policy Forum in the journal Science. "Subsidies are often viewed as quick solutions, but they can entrench unsustainable practices if not carefully designed. The real challenge is to ensure that they promote genuine resilience and sustainability, rather than locking us into the very problems we are trying to solve” says Carl Folke, co-founder of Stockholm Resilience Centre and co-author of the article. One example is the case of EVs: Switching from gasoline-powered cars to EVs reduces greenhouse gas emissions. When subsidies for EVs and their technology create more inexpensive EVs, however, that market will expand, increasing overall vehicle use. But if subsidies instead went to increased infrastructure for and access to public transportation, more people might get rid of their cars, making the net positive environmental impact much greater.

Without decisive action, the impact of drug-resistant pathogens could be catastrophic. The New York Times recently highlighted the growing global threat of antibiotic resistance in an alarming report. 'The widespread use of antibiotics is causing an evolution that has devastating consequences for humanity,' warned Peter Søgaard Jørgensen, Centre researcher and co-author of a new study emphasising the urgent need for government intervention to address this crisis.

The ocean must be humanity's top priority. Earth has already crossed six of nine critical planetary boundaries, and we are on course to breach another—ocean acidification—within the next few years. We have multiple boundaries that all end up affecting the ocean. In many ways, the ocean is the final victim of our waste, eutrophication, heat, and carbon dioxide. This has to be reversed, as the ocean will ultimately determine whether or not we have a liveable planet, explains Centre founder Johan Rockström in this video by World Economic Forum. 👇
We could be about to breach the seventh planetary boundary, says #climate scientist Johan Rockström, but there is still time to turn things around.

Building a sustainable future starts by deepening our connections with nature. It’s important to recognise that these connections involve diverse ways of knowing, being, and doing, all of which can drive sustainability transformations, a new paper argues. “Sustainability isn’t about one way forward but recognising that there are many paths,” says lead author Simon West.

Livestock like cows and sheep are crucial for food and livelihoods, but they also stress our planet’s ecosystems. While some argue that grazing can be sustainable and even boost biodiversity, not all grazing benefits the environment. A new study in Nature Sustainability examines where grazing could occur if biodiversity limits were prioritised, and how much meat and milk could be produced sustainably under those conditions.

The voyage of the Titanic can help us understand how to better combat environmental degradation. A paper in npj Climate Action emphasizes that global cooperation must consider human behaviour. Drawing parallels with the Titanic, the authors identify behavioural barriers and opportunities relevant to today's environmental challenges. Learn more: https://buff.ly/3Zw3aRy
