PhD student Lina Lefstad studies how carbon capture and storage technology is used and envisioned in climate change policy

PhD student Lina Lefstad is passionate about working towards just climate change mitigation. She is excited about how we as a society can use CCS technology in the most just and effective way for the technology to genuinely contribute to decarbonisation and emissions reductions. What do you explore in your PhD-project?  My PhD is part of a broader project called “Burying problems? Carbon capture a

Scientists critical that the UN's sustainable development goals do not make us resilient to withstand a changing climate

A new study from LUCSUS shows that the UN's sustainable development goals as a whole do not contribute to making us more resilient to cope with disruptive changes, such as climate change. The researchers behind the study believe that the next global agenda should put the relationship between ecosystems and humans in focus and start from flexible goals that promote transformative leadership and are

PhD student Juan Antonio Samper explores the relationship between collective identity and place in the Colombian Andean-Amazonia

PhD student Juan Antonio Samper hopes that his research some day can play a role in emancipatory causes currently happening in the territory of Putumayo, and make a difference for social life in specific places. He explores the relationship between collective identity and place, and the ways in which this relation is mobilised by different groups in the Colombian Andean-Amazonia to resist extracti

New EU project aims to pave the way for sustainable heating and cooling solutions

How can aquathermal energy systems support a sustainable energy transition in the European Union? This will be explored in a new EU Interreg North Sea Region project, WaterWarmth, which seeks to raise awareness about the possibilities of sustainable heating and cooling solutions based on aquathermal energy and integrate them into existing renewable energy systems across the North Sea region. Aquat

Strengthened rights to Indigenous People can reduce deforestation in Brazil

In a historic decision, Brazil's Supreme Court has voted down the agricultural lobby's attempt to limit Indigenous People's land rights. Sustainability researcher Torsten Krause is cautiously optimistic about the decision, which he believes is positive for both human rights and biodiversity, but fears that it could lead to increased deforestation and mining in Brazil's neighboring countries. – It

PhD student Emilia Ganslandt studies local climate adaptation in Skåne, Sweden

LUCSUS new PhD student, Emilia Gansland, hope to provide new insights on how climate change adaptation and power intersect, and influence the debate about local climate adaptation in Sweden. What do you explore in your PhD-project?  I am part of the “Illuminating power dynamics in cross-scale adaptation for more resilient and just futures (ICARUS)” project. The project as a whole will look at mult

Unique research infrastructure on perennial crops in Lund

As part of innovative research on perennial crops, a unique research infrastructure has been developed outside Lund. The infrastructure will measure the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and agriculture in real time in two parallel cultivation systems: the newly domesticated Kernza (Intermediate wheatgrass) and conventional crop rotation in Skåne (including wheat, sugar beet, bar

Coastal river deltas threatened by more than climate change

Worldwide, coastal river deltas are home to more than half a billion people, supporting fisheries, agriculture, cities, and fertile ecosystems. In a unique study covering 49 deltas globally, researchers from LUCSUS and Utrecht University have identified the most critical risks to deltas in the future. The research shows that deltas face multiple risks, and that population growth and poor environme

UN climate meetings organised in a way that benefits richer, larger countries

The COP climate meetings are organised in a way that benefits richer and larger countries at the expense of smaller and poorer countries, according to a new study from LUCSUS and the University of Leeds. The study also labels the participating countries as either Radicals, Opportunists, Hypocrites or Evaders. Every year, the UN organises its global climate change Conference of the Parties, “COP”,

Many questions remain as new loss and damage fund is formally established at COP28

On the first day of the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, a formal decision was taken to establish a loss and damage fund to support developing countries to deal with loss and damage from climate change. A pragmatic success for climate justice, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd, who now hopes that Sweden will follow suit with promises of financial support. Emily Boyd, director and p

Blog post: When climate change becomes personal – A reflection on researching non-economic loss and damage

It feels almost shameful to admit, but climate change has always felt like something abstract and far away. Of course, I know that climate change is happening. I can explain the greenhouse effect. I even use climate change as an argument for banning meat from my diet, reducing my consumption of animal-based products, and travelling through Europe by bus and train. I do all of these things because

Sustainable Climate Action Requires new Mindsets

The UN Climate Change Conferences regularly fail to adequately address climate change. Does this relate to how the conferences are designed and organised? Could developing a different culture of cooperation and communication help to make progress? Which mindsets and associated inner qualities might be conducive in this process? A new study and article by Professor Christine Wamsler and colleagues

In art, plastics is often portrayed as waste and littering

A wound in nature, cheap rubbish and dangerous for animals and humans. This is how plastic is presented in visual art and photography around the world, finds a new study. But according to the researchers, some problems are not illustrated. The study is co-authored by LUCSUS researcher Sara Ullström. Together with four research colleagues, Sara Ullström, has in a study identified five interconnecte

Negative emissions and the long history of carbon removal

Large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR), is increasingly seen as a key component of climate change mitigation pathways that limit warming to 1.5C or 2C.  CDR approaches tend to be frames as novel and untested, and mostly focuses on hypothetical future scenarios. Yet CDR has a longer and, in many ways, more tangible history than this framing suggests – the lessons of which are largely overlooked i

Researcher Torsten Krause comments on the fires in the Brazilian Amazon in August 2020

The official figures for forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon in August 2020 show a slight decrease from last year. But researchers at the Brazil's Space Research Institute, Inpe, warn that data may need to be corrected so much that they instead reveal the worst fires in a decade. Torsten Krause, researcher in forest hunting, deforestation and sustainability at LUCSUS, comments on the situation. W

LUCSUS researchers analyse how billions of EU farming funding subsidies are being spent

Murray Scown and Kimberly Nicholas, researchers at LUCSUS, have analysed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently funded. Consequently, the majority of p

PhD student Sara Ullström studies mobilisation, and voluntary action connected to low-carbon ways of life

Sara Ullström, PhD in Sustainability Science, will present her work at a first seminar on 17th September. We asked her to explain what her research within the project, The takeoff of staying on the ground, is about. What do you explore in your PhD? My research investigates the questioning of high-carbon worlds through the case of the staying on the ground phenomenon in Sweden. This phenomenon cons
