In this blog post by LUCSUS researcher Maja Essebo, she discusses academic critique, and highlights, that once we have identified the faults, we need to do what little or large we can to adress and amend them.‘There is no outside to spectacular capitalism. Any alternative must be found from the inside.’ Don Mitchell speaking at the NGM, Stockholm, 19 June.On June 18-21, the 7th bi-annual conferenc

- Africa is an interesting case study in terms of preventing land degradation since there is much to learn from what other countries did in the development process, says LUCSUS researcher Genesis T. Yengoh.He is doing research on how remote sensing imagery and methods of satellite data analysis can be used to assess and monitor land degradation in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Senegal. The aim of th

Historiska museet stänger antiktställningen "Nytt ljus på antiken" från och med den 1 september 2025. I januari 2008 fick Historiska museet överta antiksamlingen som hade funnits på Klassiska institutionen sedan 1951. Antiksamlingen startades som en studiesamling redan 1906 och dess gipskopior och originalföremål har använts flitigt, bland annat av kurser under ämnet Antikens kultur- och samhällsl

In connection with a new report on measures to mitigate climate change, researchers at Lund University in Sweden see some hopeful signs. Among other things, Lars J Nilsson, Professor of Environmental and Energy Systems at Lund University, thinks there are good prospects for achieving zero emissions by 2050 in industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals, which are currently responsible for majo

Is it possible to put a value on nature and the vital ecosystem services it provides for us? What are the pros and cons of different valuation models? These are the key questions addressed in a new report by IPBES, the UN’s biodiversity panel, to be published on 11 July. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) can be described as the equivalent

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside – even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

The machines have started rolling in at Norunda and are cutting down trees, one by one. Norunda is Sweden’s oldest measuring station for greenhouse gases and it is unique. Following several decades of being surrounded by a hundred-year-old forest, it will instead be surrounded by a clear-cut. - We expect a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, says professor Natascha Kljun at CEC.

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th
