The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid. A climate model developed by researchers from Lu

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
In August, the IPCC published the first part of its sixth assessment report (AR6). It summarises the “physical science basis” for climate change. The message was loud and clear: humans are causing climate change. The next instalment of AR6 will focus on concrete solutions, and highlight how societies, especially vulnerable groups, will be impacted by climate change. Ahead of the coming COP26 in Gl

What are AI writing tools and how do they affect our assessments? Three main options for considering AI writing tools in assessment are: 1. to ban their use, 2. to assume that they may be used, and set tasks which incorporate them or 3. require them to be used – to fully incorporate the tools in the assessment.

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in

Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba
