LUCSUS researchers spent the last four years collaborating with Indigenous communities in Colombia to document how traditional knowledge can support biocultural diversity and wildlife in the Amazon. The project culminated in a final workshop in February 2026. Global discussions on protecting the Amazon rainforest often focus on carbon storage and forest cover. In a recent study, Torsten Krause and

Using surface water to heat and cool buildings can make Europe’s heating systems more sustainable and reduce dependence on imported natural gas. But efforts are needed to make the technology more large-scale, according to researchers Sara Brogaard and Barry Ness from LUCSUS. Today, natural gas is the main source of heating in central Europe, which causes large carbon dioxide emissions. In Sweden,

Nation states should take the lead in governing and deploying carbon capture and storage technologies and use them to mitigate emissions from hard-to-abate industries such as iron, steel, cement or chemical production. This approach can contribute to both sustainable development and climate justice according to a new thesis from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies. “If we collectivel
On most days, the flatlands west of Lund are inhabited mainly by grain crops and incessant wind.

Researcher Emma Johansson is leading a new research project about the social consequences of carbon farming in the Global South. “We are interested in analysing the effects of carbon farming programmes on smallholder farmers in different countries in the Global South. Their promise to generate carbon credits and sequester carbon while also transforming agricultural practices is very attractive, bu

A recent study of climate adaptation in Barbados finds that while research and policy have begun to include fairness and social well-being in adaptation, it is still mainly about protecting people from an outside threat. To make adaptation fairer and more effective, the study suggests considering local understandings of risks and solutions. Small island states are among the places most at risk fro
