Ten years have passed since the countries of the world signed the Paris Agreement. Political scientist Fariborz Zelli sums up the surprises – both positive and negative – in climate policy over the past ten years and also looks ahead. What has been the biggest success of the Paris Agreement so far?I would say the biggest success is that the UN has succeeded in keeping its central role in global cl

Learning more about the endocrine system could lead to fewer cases of type 2 diabetes and obesity

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th

Students and teachers share their stories on distance learning due to COVID-19

Better than expected, but not without its challenges, especially socially. That’s how a couple of our students and staff tell the story of how we went from campus education to distance learning methods in a matter of days. Wednesday 18 March. The campus is still open to students and staff, but from now on very few, if any, lectures and group assessments are to be held here. Not today, and not duri

Savannahs slow climate change

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

How to reach ecologically sustainable welfare societies

There is growing evidence that Western welfare standards are not generalizable to the rest of the planet if environmental concerns, such as resource depletion or climate change, are considered. A new interdisciplinary anthology by researchers from Lund University raises the question of what is required to make welfare societies ecologically sustainable. Oksana Mont, professor at The International

How much land do we need to produce enough food, bioenergy and forest? New digital technology provides more reliable prognoses

Currently, it can take weeks and even months to produce results on how the future climate could affect agriculture. Now, researchers at Lund University are looking to change this and have produced simplified models, so-called emulators, to make it simpler – and above all, faster – to link vegetation, finance and climate models. In their project, Stefan Olin, researcher at the Department of Physica
