Living in a community with access to clean water and functioning sanitation is a basic requirement for people’s good health. In Kazakhstan in Central Asia, people cannot depend on a reliable water supply and many are at risk of contracting serious infectious diseases. However, the country now wants to focus on improving public health and has turned to Lund University for help. Approximately 2.1 bi

Every year Birger Schmitz, Fredrik Terfelt and Ellinor Martin dissolve five to ten tonnes of limestone with highly dangerous chemicals. The aim is to find microscopic grains from fossilised meteorites that are many millions of years old, which can provide important clues to the development of life on Earth.  LUM was given a tour of the world-unique acid laboratory.  There is a smacking sound as Fr

“Of course there’s a bit of apprehension, just like when two people move in together. This is five families who have moved into the same building. We don’t know each other and our daily routines yet. We’ll have to find out as we go along”, said Therese Whass, a student at the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies about how it feels to move into LUX. Therese Whass said that those who were scept

Negative emission technologies, or large scale carbon dioxide removal, are increasingly seen as key to slow or halt climate change. Researchers now warn that they are fraught with uncertainties, and raise questions about land use, justice and power. Wim Carton, researcher at Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, explains what these technologies are about, and why the promises of these

The theme for the first online Transformations Conference (17 – 18th June 2021), co-organised by LUCSUS, is about enabling positive tipping points for sustainability transformations. In this interview, conveners J. David Tàbara (GCF) and Diego Galafassi (LUCSUS), speak on key aims and hopes for the upcoming conference, and emphasise how a positive framing of the future can replace fear, social clo

Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a uniquely detailed global climate model that will increase our understanding of climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, at this level of detail, are included in climate modeling within EC-Earth, a global climate and earth system model. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, and in particular at this

– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells.
