Pesticide use in is an urgent concern for human health and the environment. New studies on pesticide practices in Ugandan smallholder agriculture highlight the need to focus on drivers and impacts of unsafe pesticide use instead of putting blame on farmers. Two recent research articles by LUCSUS researchers Elina Andersson and Ellinor Isgren show that while there is still a widespread notion that

Emma Kritzberg tog tåget till ett möte på Mallorca. En resa som varade i 54 timmar och kostade mer än dubbelt så mycket som om hon valt att flyga till Medelhavsön på några timmar. Ändå var flyget aldrig ett alternativ. De senaste sex åren har hon varken flugit i tjänsten eller privat, ett medvetet beslut för att minimera klimat­påverkande utsläpp. Emma Kritzberg, professor vid Biologiska instituti

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The recent hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria highlight the potential for the climate system to cause loss and damage. “Loss and damage” is a phrase used in different ways by people who work on climate policy, negotiation and adaptation/resilience. A new study clarifies these different perspectives which is a key issue

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A great deal of moral courage or a really desperate situation – these are the requirements for someone to disclose state secrets. And life will most certainly never be the same again. This is what emerges from the experiences of the Cold War’s first major defectors, Mr and Mrs Petrov, as from those of Edward Snowden,

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In our everyday lives, we surround ourselves with electronics without really thinking about it. We go to work by car or train, travel by air when we go on holiday, and are reliant on our mobile phones, iPads and laptops. We take the products’ functions for granted, until they suddenly stop working. The fact is that th

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.

In June 2022, LUCSUS will co-organise a 5-day intensive PhD course focusing on climate change mitigation and the politics of 'Net Zero' and carbon removal. As the climate crisis intensifies, the scientific and political conversation on climate change mitigation is taking novel forms, giving rise to a range of possible new climate futures. An increasingly important aspect of this is the ambition, a

A month ago, I made a visit to the University of Gothenburg’s Research Board. While there, I was asked, “Why has Lund University performed so incredibly well in Horizon Europe?” I counted myself lucky to have received an update beforehand from Research Services that we have been very successful, otherwise I would have been caught off guard. It just goes to show that we must update our view of ours

The circular economy is meant to help us use fewer resources, but how much less, and by when? A new report argues that without clear, binding targets to achieve reductions in resource use, circular economy policies risk falling short of what is needed to keep human activity within planetary boundaries. Currently, humanity is transgressing planetary boundaries at an accelerating pace. Resource extr
