Countries’ climate pledges are dangerously over reliant on inequitable and unsustainable land-based measures to capture and store carbon. This is stated in a new study, co-written by LUCSUS researcher Wim Carton. – Our study shows that current national carbon plans would require a land area larger than the size of the U.S., or almost four times the land area of India. These plans are not only unre

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have no

Researchers have investigated the possibilities of independent, global monitoring of fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions globally based on satellite observations. This would improve the quality of the monitoring compared to today, which is built on individual reporting by countries. Three researchers from our department contributed to this study.
