Jan did his PhD in Forecasting ecosystem functions and services under global change, from 2013 to 2018 as part of the Department of physical Geography and Ecosystem services (INES). During his studies, he used ecosystem modeling to study how ecosystem processes are impacted by climate change and nitrogen intensification. After completing his PhD, Jan took on a research assistant role at the GIS

Ina completed her Ph.D. from 2015 to 2019, focusing on the emergent politics of geo-engineering. She explored new ideas about large-scale interventions to control global temperatures and aimed to assess the political landscape in this area, through methods of attending scientific conferences and interviewing scientists and politicians. After completing her Ph.D., Ina planned to take a break and

The world is changing; we have experienced societal disruption due to global hazards such as pandemics and climate change. Environments or institutions that were taken for granted are suddenly at risk, forcing us to consider new risks that require careful development of concepts and theories, as well as novel approaches to assessment. This is the theme of the upcoming international conference SRA

Fifteen years ago, the first doctoral students began their education at CEC. Since then, there have been 240 PhD students from CEC and ClimBEco, the research school hosted by CEC. This week, about 60 of them gathered for a joint alumni celebration with networking, workshops and lectures at AF-borgen in Lund. The alumni of CEC and ClimBEco are now in very different fields, some have researched and

CEC's activities are based on understanding the human impact on natural ecosystem processes. The research generates new knowledge that contributes to identifying and evaluating strategies and measures to prevent, mitigate, or counteract climate and environmental problems, and achieve long-term sustainable development. It requires interdisciplinary approaches that encompass natural science, as well

Biodiversity is undergoing a major crisis primarily driven by the loss and degradation of habitats, as well as climate change. The depletion of biodiversity threatens our natural heritage, undermines ecosystems' ability to provide vital ecosystem services, and reduces their capacity to cope with ongoing pressures from global changes. At CEC, we analyze the consequences of human impact on biodivers

Chemicals are released at an increasingly rapid pace into our environment, in the air, soil, and water. It can have serious consequences for humans, wildlife, and entire ecosystems. Yet, we still know little about the processes that cause toxicity and negative effects, and how acute and chronic it affects different species. The limited knowledge makes it harder for us to provide politicians and de

More and more of the world's population lives and works in cities. This, in combination with climate change and its consequences, creates increased pressure on the built environment and the people living in cities. There is a need to develop urban environments that can address these challenges, such as extreme weather events, conflicts over land use, and deteriorating ecosystems. Additionally, the

Achieving a sustainable society requires knowledge. The increasing pace of scientific knowledge is, therefore, a positive development. At the same time, the need to synthesize research findings from various scientific disciplines is a growing challenge, as well as making them accessible to decision-makers. There is also an unprecedented need to identify and address knowledge gaps, manage heterogen

Human activity jeopardizes ecosystems, both directly and indirectly. Direct impacts include the loss of natural habitats, intensified land use and pollution. Indirect impacts result from the effects of climate change, such as increased frequency and intensity of forest fires, droughts, and heatwaves. A better understanding of ecosystem functioning is crucial to understand and address the threats w

Nature-based future solutions are one of the five profile areas at Lund University. Researchers within this profile area focus on ecosystem-based approaches to address biodiversity loss and climate change, and how these interconnected crises can be linked to sustainable societal development. Loss of biodiversity and the climate crisis are closely interconnected. For example, a warmer climate affec
