New research from Stockholm University shows that traditional measures of segregation underestimate the true extent of a country's geographical divide between people with different life circumstances.
People who are most likely to face unemployment or low-paid work are also more likely to fall into poverty when these setbacks occur.

The most severe droughts in the ancient Eastern Mediterranean arose when multiple natural climate cycles coincided, according to a new study from Stockholm University published in Science Advances. The findings shed new light on the climate conditions surrounding the Late Bronze Age collapse and may help improve understanding of future drought risks in a warming world.
UN climate negotiations are often criticized for moving too slowly. A new study published in Nature Climate Change examines what changes government delegates and other participants at the COP29 climate conference would like to see.
