Environmental claims and social needs clash in Louisiana’s coastal wetlands

New research highlights how coastal planning and environmental restoration overlook social needs, cultural claims and existing vulnerabilities. Using Louisiana’s coastal wetlands as a case, researcher David O’Byrne argues that it is high time to turn away from a narrowly economic approach to coastal restoration, and instead focus on improving people’s quality of life, which is dependent on ecologi

LUCSUS is part of a EU-project to support and restore marine coastal ecosystems

Marine coastal ecosystems are severely threatened by the negative effects of climate change. At the same time, they are very important for climate change mitigation since they can store large amounts of carbon, and help sustain both life under water, and people’s livelihoods. LUCSUS is part of the four-year EU funded project Marine Coastal Ecosystem Biodiversity and Services in a Changing world.

The climate researchers' wish list for 2021

2020 will be remembered as the year when the coronavirus paralysed the world. At the same time, the negative effect of climate change became increasingly apparent, and the pleas to listen to the scientist and the calls for action became even more urgent. What changes for the climate do researchers want to see in 2021? Researchers in climate and sustainability at Lund University list their hopes an

New research frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of sustainable development

A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what should be sustained, and how. It also highlights how different theories of sustai

New study reveals diverse relations to nature in Rio’s favelas

Rich in animals and plants, a refuge to calm anxiety, and a source of new energy. A place for recreation and cultivation. This is how residents of Rio de Janeiro’s largest favela describe their natural surroundings in interviews. It is a narrative seldom brought to the fore, and one that stands in stark contrast to the common description of favelas as hectic and dangerous places. With their new st

Torsten Krause comments on the WWF-report on deforestation fronts

A recent report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) identifies 24 places across the world that are hotspots for deforestation - and where forests are under threat. A staggering over 43 million of hectares were lost in these areas between 2004 and 2017 - an area roughly the size of Morocco. Torsten Krause, who researches forest hunting, biodiversity and deforestation, comments on the report. What a

It is not the farmers who drive pesticide use – it is the lack of alternatives

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
