Madelene Ostwald member of the board in new network
Sida has established a network for forest/bioenergy-climate-poverty alleviation under the guidance of ‘Skogsinitiativet’ and with financial support for two years. The aim with this Swedish network is to feed Sida’s work and policy decisions with relevant and up-to-date research around questions concerning forest in relation to climate change and poverty alleviation. Three areas of analysis for the first year has already been identified; avoided deforestation, forest production that is sustainable over time, socio-economically responsible and climate smart and finally global instrument for carbon sinks in forest ecosystems. Last week the board for this network was constituted a CSPR researcher Madelene Ostwald is one of the members together with researchers from Göteborg University, Swedbio in Uppsala, Chalmers as well as representatives from Sida’s helpdesk for environmental and climate.

The Consumerchoice study published
A study, entitled CONSUMERCHOICE: Do European Consumers buy Genetically Modified (GM) foods? published today explores to what extent consumers buy GM-labelled products. The purpose of the project was to observe and analyse the behaviour of European consumers in ten different countries. The study shows that although the number and range of GM-labelled product is limited, where they are available, consumers do buy them. The focus group discussions revealed that the overall awareness of GM-products and labels was very low and participants experienced a lack of information about GM-issues.
The findings of the study will be presented on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008.
