A new study from LUCSUS shows that the UN's sustainable development goals as a whole do not contribute to making us more resilient to cope with disruptive changes, such as climate change. The researchers behind the study believe that the next global agenda should put the relationship between ecosystems and humans in focus and start from flexible goals that promote transformative leadership and are

How can aquathermal energy systems support a sustainable energy transition in the European Union? This will be explored in a new EU Interreg North Sea Region project, WaterWarmth, which seeks to raise awareness about the possibilities of sustainable heating and cooling solutions based on aquathermal energy and integrate them into existing renewable energy systems across the North Sea region. Aquat

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
