Workshops/Seminars/Conferences
LUCSUS presents on a regular basis seminars on sustainable development, LUCSUS Seminars. This successful series of seminars started in September 2005. The idea is to facilitate discussion on environment and development, including issues of global equity and justice. Presenters are from a variety of sustainability related backgrounds, e.g. scholars from Lund University and other universities, civil servants, politicians and representatives from NGOs. LUCSUS Seminars are open to the public and for all scholars and students at Lund University and the Seminars are well attended by an interested and very competent audience. Students from the International Master programmes LUMES and LUMID are special invited to join the seminars.

LUCSUS invites you to an open guest lecture
Fumihiko Saito
Professor, Ryukoku University, Japan
Post 3.11 Implications for Japan and the World
When: Thursday August 30, 10h15-12h00
Where: Geocentrum 1, 1st floor, Flygeln, Sölvegatan 10

On March 2011, a triple disasters of earthquake, tsunami, and a severe accident at the nuclear power plant, hit Fukushima and Japan. Putting this 3.11 into perspective would be quite valuable not only for Japan but probably for the world. One of the important causes of the nuclear accident is a fraud decision making process of nuclear energy. Therefore, 3.11 poses a serious question about energy choice in democratic society. 3.11 also raises how to make transitions to green growth/green economy. These questions further relate to our much deeper understanding whether the current liberal democracy and capitalist economy would be good enough for sustainable future.
Dr. Fumihiko Saito is a professor at Ryukoku University, the oldest university in Japan. He was educated at Ryukoku University in Kyoto (PhD in Economics); Yale University (MA in International Relations); Amherst College (BA magna cum laude); and Doshisha University in Kyoto. He previously worked with UNDP in Bangladesh and Uganda. He was until recently co-directing a large research project examining comparative experiences of decentralization in developing countries. One of his books received an award from Japan Society for International Development.

 Mike Hulme
University East Anglia
Climate Change:
putting ourselves in the picture
Based on his book Why We Disagree about Climate Change, professor Hulme will talk about the cultural meanings of climate change by drawing upon four myths linked to hubris, fear, nostalgia and justice. These different meanings attached to climate change are echoes of recurring human instincts and tropes. Hulme will connect these cultural meanings of climate to questions of urban planning, agriculture and adaptation.
Date: Monday January 30, 2012, 18:00-20:00

Sustainable Development Skåne (Hållbar Utveckling Skåne, HUT),
County Administration of Scania, (Länsstyrelsen i Skåne) and LUCSUS organised a full day workshop on Education for Sustainable Development
October 18, 2011
Inbjudan till Workshopen
Hållbart lärande
HÅLLBAR UTVECKLING SKÅNE INSPIRATIONS- OCH ARBETSDAG
Hur gör man när man undervisar kring hållbar utveckling? Från och med denna höst gäller den nya läroplanen med gemensamt för alla ämnen och utbildningsnivåer att hållbar utveckling är ett prioriterat område. Många lärare och pedagoger har arbetat med frågorna under flera år redan, är du en av dem? Kanske kan du utvecklas vidare genom att dela med dig av dina idéer och titta på dem tillsammans med andra?
Hållbar Utveckling Skåne bjuder tillsammans med Länsstyrelsen och LUCSUS vid Lunds Universitet in till en inspirations- och arbetsdag för lärande för hållbar utveckling. Vi hoppas att arbetet under dagen ska generera en idébank som kan underlätta ert arbete och komplettera ert undervisningsmaterial med åtgärder och idéer kring lärande för hållbar utveckling. Vi tänker också att arbetet kan vara en idébank för Länsstyrelsen som utvecklar det regionala åtgärdsprogrammet kopplat till de nationella miljömålen där lärande för hållbar utveckling ska vara en del
Utöver att lära nytt för egen del har ni alltså möjlighet att påverka Skånes framtida arbete för att nå miljömålen!
Välkomna till en dag för gemensamt lärande!
Program
10.00 Registrering. Kaffe, te och frukt serveras.
10.15 Klas Nyberg, dagens moderator hälsar välkommen.
10.20 Helen Hasslöf (Malmö Högskola) och Susie Broquist Lundegård (Södertälje Naturskola)
föreläser.
12:00 Grupparbete och Arbetslunch där vi fokuserar på frågorna:
Vad är ett bra exempel på lärande för hållbar utveckling?
Vad är viktigast att eleverna lär sig för att vi ska uppnå hållbar utveckling?
13.30 Presentation av gruppernas gemensamma arbete.
14.10 Vernissage-mingel bland förslagen.
14.40 Fortsatt arbete utifrån material ni arbetat fram.
15.20 Presentation av gruppernas arbete.
16.00 Slut.

The Workshop on Urban Water Governance (Theme 7) 
Organized by LUCSUS and Pufendorf Institute, Lund, Sweden
The first workshop of the 7th theme of the U21 Water Futures for
Sustainable Cities (WFSC) project was held on 29-30 August in Lund, Sweden.
In exchanging their understanding of the complex water issues in cities
around the world, the participants of the workshop came up with
five cross-cutting themes to better analyze water governance issues.
The themes include
- use of science
- scale and level
- justice and fairness
- institutional arrangements
- problem framing
The themes will be the bases of upcoming position paper as a point of
departure for developing methodological approaches and analytical frameworks
in order to identify new and improved modes of urban water governance.
 In addition, the steering committee was appointed by the participants,
and the possibility of gathering different empirical cases under a edited
volume was discussed.
Summary report from the workshop (pdf) »
