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

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

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”,

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

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,

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 h
