Production for the textile and fashion industry can, for many countries, represent a first step out of poverty. But what does this mean for those who work in the sector, and what happens when even poorer countries begin to compete by paying even lower wages for the seamstresses in the factories?

Facts and research must carry more weight when planning the greening of cities in the future. A new research article calls for a paradigm shift – from 'arbitrary decisions' to more evidence-based urban planning, where urban nature is managed as a resource for both people and biodiversity. Biodiversity is under pressure and many species are at risk of disappearing due to human activity. Research sh
