För att uppnå Parisavtalets 1,5-gradersmål måste runt hälften av utsläppsminskningarna komma från minskad konsumtion. Detta framgår av det europeiska forskningsprojektet EU 1,5° Lifestyles. Enbart den gröna omställningen i industrin räcker inte för att nå klimatmålen. Forskningen visar hur Europas samhällen kan ställa om till hållbara livsstilar i linje med 1,5-gradersmålet och pekar på att det in

A key issue for achieving the 1.5-degree target is a reduction in consumption levels. Despite the fact that around half of the necessary emissions reductions must come from significant changes in consumption and in people's behavior, current climate policies focus mostly on technology and on the green industrial transition - which is important, but not sufficient.

Jämfört med andra flyttfåglar följer tornseglare ett mycket ovanligt mönster när de flyttar från häckningsområdena i Europa till övervintringsplatserna söder om Sahara. Det konstaterar forskare i en stor internationell studie som pågått i elva år och där de även upptäckt skillnader i storlek och antal ungar beroende på var i Europa tornseglarna häckar.

Insekter är dåliga på att hantera klimatförändringens högre temperaturer. Risken är stor att de blir överhettade. Både överlevnaden och förmågan att reproducera sig påverkas kraftigt av ökande temperaturer även i områden högt uppe på norra halvklotet, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Insekter kan inte reglera sin egen kroppstemperatur, som istället starkt påverkas av temperaturen i den
