Ullrika Sahlin, a CEC researcher specialising in Computational Science for Health and Environment (COSHE) research, recently completed a mission for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). EFSA's scientific experts learned how to express uncertainty in a clear way. EFSA was set up in 2002 in the wake of crises of confidence in food safety. Its mandate is to carry out scientific assessments of r

A computational science hub, COSHE, has been established at Lund University. The aim is to become a creative hub for computational science with a focus on interdisciplinary research in the fields of health, climate and the environment. COSHE works with machine learning, statistical learning methods, physical system modeling and quantum computing. The research groups behind COSHE already have parti

Toxins and chemicals are a major threat to our environment. The "third crisis" - the chemical crisis - is often forgotten when we talk about the climate and endangered species. Ahead of Biodiversity Day on 22 May, Maria Hansson, a researcher at Lund University, offers tips on how to create a non-toxic environment in your own garden, benefiting all its inhabitants, big and small. Synthetically prod

After a year of intensive work by many involved, the Swedish Climate Symposium with its close to 400 participants, has come to an end. Now an evaluation of the conference awaits, but the feeling is that most people experienced it as a successful event. To take the pulse during the symposium itself, we did a couple of short interviews with some of those who were there. Read the article which is pub

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge

One of the world's greatest challenges is to feed the world's population in a sustainable way. Organic farming is one option, but the downside is that it produces lower yields than conventional farming. Studies led by Lund University now show that the yield difference between organic and conventional farming is smaller than previously thought, but the yields are still significantly smaller than fo

Even in Earth’s high northern-latitude forest, climate change is predicted to make wildfires more frequent and severe.Earth’s far north hosts the boreal forest, a vast green belt that stretches from North America to Siberia. The boreal forest is one of the world’s largest CO₂ sinks. Over the past few thousand years it has removed around 1 trillion tonnes of carbon from the air, storing it in the t

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside. This is the finding of a new study conducted by researchers at Lund University, Sweden. The results run counter to the assumption that growing up in the countryside automatically increases our connection to nature, and yet the study also shows that na

In 2022, the world's nations achieved a "Paris Agreement for nature" — the Kunming-Montreal Framework, negotiated during COP15 in Canada. Now, the follow-up meeting, COP16, is set to take place in Cali, Colombia. What is Sweden’s position ahead of this meeting, and what policy processes are underway for the implementation of the framework? And where does research fit into all of this? We posed a f

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

I en ny SNS-rapport argumenterar statsvetaren Johannes Lindvall för att låsningar i bland annat migrationspolitiken skulle kunna lösas upp om fördelningspolitiska dimensioner sattes i centrum i stället för moraliska värden. Reformer inom andra politikområden, såsom bostadspolitik och energipolitik, är också möjliga men kräver delvis andra lösningar. Det kan vara svårt att genomföra reformer i länd

Maiken Røed har publicerat artikeln “Party goals and interest group influence on parties” i tidskriften West European Politics. Den jämförande analysen av intresseorganisationers inflytande på politiska partier i sex europeiska demokratier visar att ideologisk likhet mellan intresseorganisationer och partier, samt hur villiga partier är att kompromissa, påverkar sannolikheten för inflytande.

Ett starkt yttre tryck är nödvändigt för att få stopp på våldsamheterna mellan Israel och Hamas, som riskerar att övergå i fullskaligt krig om inget görs. Och det måste ske snabbt. Det säger freds- och konfliktforskaren Lisa Strömbom. FN varnar för fullskaligt krig om det pågående våldet mellan Israel och Hamas fortsätter att trappas upp. Flera hundra, varav många barn, har dödats i samband med an
