We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can make use of the results

For up to 40 years, nearly 800,000 people from Sweden, Norway and Austria have been tracked based on how their BMI and metabolic health – that is, their blood pressure, blood glucose levels and blood fats - affect the risk of suffering from obesity-related cancers. The study shows that those who are metabolically unhealthy are at a higher risk of certain forms of cancer, regardless of their body w

Certain complications during pregnancy bring an increased risk of heart disease later on. However, there is still much to learn about how arteriosclerosis develops between pregnancy and heart disease later in life. A large new study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden shows that narrowing and calcification of the blood vessels of the heart are more common in women previously affected

Lund University and partners have been awarded a grant of € 6 million from the European Commission to develop innovation policies for the cultural and creative industries. New innovation policies are needed to support ecosystems in the sector with better access to funding and incubators so that more ideas can be realised. The ekip project starts 1 June. Complex innovation processes involve many ac

The size of dragonflies and damselflies varies around the globe. These insects are generally larger in temperate areas than in the tropics. According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, this is caused by a combination of temperatures and the prevalence of predators. In a large global comparative study of this ancient order of insects, researchers have studied how body size varies geogra

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University in Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are a

Patients are often asked to rate their feelings using a rating scale, when talking to psychologists or doctors about their mental health. This is currently how depression and anxiety are diagnosed. However, a new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that allowing patients to describe their experience using their own words - is potentially viewed as more precise and preferred by the patients.

During the foetal stage, a number of so-called cell programs run that are vital to the development of the foetus. In a study published in Cell Reports, researchers from Lund University demonstrate that one of these foetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “We have used an experimental mouse model that always results in this type of leukaemia. The interesting thing

On 13th of February, a transplant of stem cell-derived nerve cells was administered to a person with Parkinson’s at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. The product has been developed by Lund University and it is now being tested in patients for the first time. The transplantation product is generated from embryonic stem cells and functions to replace the dopamine nerve cells which are lost in the p

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year, as a result of a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

By invading Ukraine, Russia is not only violating international law - it is also preventing people in Ukraine from enjoying the most basic human rights, such as the right to health care, medicine and education. Lena Halldenius and Jessica Almqvist, both professors of human rights and coordinators of Lund University's new profile area Human Rights in a Polarised World, answer four questions about h

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the

The war in Ukraine has now been going on for a year. The devastation is enormous, as are the human rights abuses. At the moment, most of the talk is about arms supplies and very little about diplomacy. When will be the appropriate time for diplomatic talks?

Does negotiating Sweden's NATO membership mean that the government is prepared to tinker with basic human rights and values? According to two political scientists, there is a risk of this happening. In the summer of 2022, Turkey, Sweden and Finland proposed an agreement that would see Turkey's NATO applications approved. The agreement was signed at a NATO meeting in Madrid. Although Turkey suspend

Tillhör du dem som har planterat och fixat i din trädgård för att göra det bättre för pollinatörer? Grattis, då har du sannolikt gjort en värdefull insats. En ny studie från Lunds universitet, där man utvärderat Naturskyddsföreningens kampanj Operation: Rädda bina, visar att det privatpersoner gör i sina trädgårdar verkligen kan göra en positiv skillnad.  Att pollinerande insekter är avgörande för

Småfåglar som blåmes och talgoxe undviker att häcka, alltså bygga bon och lägga ägg, i stadsmiljöer där det finns många främmande träd. Fågelungar väger också mindre desto fler icke-inhemska träd som finns i närområdet. Det visar en ny långtidsstudie från Lund. Naturen i staden bidrar till flera viktiga ekosystemtjänster.

Naturbaserade lösningar ger stora möjligheter att ta itu med miljö- och samhällsutmaningar. De kan bidra till att mildra klimatförändringar och skydda biologisk mångfald. Men för att införa fler sådana lösningar i Norden krävs bättre styrning och finansiering, kompletterat med tydliga politiska prioriteringar. Det visar en ny forskningsrapport från Nordiska ministerrådet, där forskare från CEC har

Vid vårens ankomst tar humledrottningarna säsongens första vingslag och ger sig ut för att hitta nya boplatser. Men de flyger ut allt tidigare på året till följd av varmare klimat och ett förändrat jordbrukslandskap, visar ny forskning. – Risken är att vi förlorar ytterligare humlearter och får minskad pollinering av grödor och vilda växter, säger forskaren Maria Blasi Romero vid Centrum för miljö

Nu kommer FN:s klimatpanel IPCC med en syntesrapport som sammanfattar de senaste årens rapporter. Vi ställde fem frågor till Markku Rummukainen, Sveriges kontaktperson för IPCC och även professor i klimatologi vid Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap på Lunds universitet.

När klimatomställningen accelererar, så riskerar frågor om ekosystemtjänster och biologisk mångfald att hamna i bakgrunden. Det är därför viktigt att hitta lösningar som ger synergier, betonar Henrik Smith, medlem i Klimatpolitiska rådet som på onsdagen lade fram en ny rapport till regeringen. Klimatpolitiska rådet har i uppgift att granska regeringens samlade politik med avseende på klimatmålen.
