Forbes: Resilience builds long-term business value.
Our new Resilience Science Must Knows report is featured in Forbes. The report distils 40 years of resilience research into 9 key insights, defining resilience as “the ability to live and develop with change and crises.” Read here: buff.ly/tch9sGp

A new report reveals how the Anthropocene is shaping our brains and minds, and how our cognition and social systems are, in turn, driving global change.

Green funds only slightly differ from others, new study finds A new study from researchers at the Centre and at KTH The Royal Institute of Technology has analysed nearly 7,000 European funds. They found that most “green” portfolios mirror conventional ones –…

“This is a clear sign that the EU’s regulatory efforts on sustainable finance are too soft on anti-greenwashing measures,” says Centre researcher Beatrice Crona. “As a result, green investing is doing very little to shift actual investment allocations.”

Green funds only slightly differ from others, new study finds.

Researchers have analysed nearly 7,000 European funds to see how green portfolios differ from conventional ones.

They found that the differences are surprisingly small, for all but one sector.

Unique agreement!

Researchers and key civil society actors together present 24 reforms for a people-centered climate policy in Sweden. The proposals span ten areas, including:

- major investments in railways,
- electric vehicles,
-wind power,
- and green skills provision.

Examining copper supply consistency in socioeconomic pathways: A mine-level dynamic approach Primary copper production capacity is crucial given future demand and social, environmental, technical, economic, and political constraints, often ove…

New study warns of major gaps between future copper demand and mining capacity — a key challenge for the energy transition. Co-authored by Stockholm Resilience Centre researcher Louis Delannoy, the paper calls for aligning climate pathways with material limits. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Correction: It should say "700 scientists" in the post (as Albert correctly mentions in the video).

Reflections from COP 30:

⏩ Implementation must speed up!
⚖️ Imbalances: 1600 fossil fuel lobbyists but only 600 scientists?!
✅ Resilience as central part of COP 30 agenda!

Those are three key take-aways from the first week of COP 30.
